Nice location out of town if you want something a little more in nature. Our host was more than helpful even driving us
Pros:

Out of town and close to the airport. Comfortable rooms in an eco friendly environment.

Cons:

I thought the property was great but our stay was brief so we couldn’t make the most of the garden.

Escape to a jungle like paradise near SJO with detail oriented and responsive owners and an impeccable light breakfast s
Pros:

Great breakfast, service oriented owners, beautiful property

Cons:

It was easy to hear the neighbors opening and closing doors in the morning but that was certainly not a big deal for me. Loved it!

Pros:

The location is about as close as you can get to the airport while also feeling like you are in the hills away from the city. It's really peaceful with beautiful natural surroundings, extremely nice and simple decor, and attentive hosts that go totally out of their way to make the stay amazing.
