Cute boutique hotel
Pros:

Very nice and elegant hotel, rooms a little dated but very clean and comfortable.
The gardens are quiet, full of greens and the pool is charming.
Close enough to the airport (of course, depending on the traffic, it can be between 20 and 60 minutes).
The restaurant is good and the food excellent.
The personnel is also very nice.

Cons:

It’s charm

A Little gem set in the hills above San Jose
Pros:

Part of the small luxury hotels of the world collection this is a little gem that deserves its place in these ranks; stellar location sitting above the San Jose valley in Escazu, one of the cities coolest suburbs. Not that you need to leave the hotel; you can enjoy a cool beer by the gorgeous pool, dine in comfort in the prime spot restaurant. We loved our overnight here at the start of a Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Grand Tour.

Cons:

Little slow over dinner service, but we were a little jet lagged also….

Für uns war ein überaus gelungener Einstieg unserer Costa-Rica-reise
Pros:

Sehr schönes Boutique-Hotel mit einem überaus freundlichen und hilfsbereitem Personal, außergewöhnlichem Interieur und sehr guter Küche bei Frühstück und Abendessen.

Cons:

Vom Flughafen SJO benötigt man mit dem Auto je nach Verkehrslage etwas 30 bis 40 Minuten, was bei Nutzung direkt nach dem Hinflug eine kleine Hürde darstellt

Increíble experiencia
Pros:

Tuve una experiencia muy agradable en el Hotel Alta Las Palomas. Desde la llegada, el servicio fue cálido y atento, haciéndonos sentir bienvenidos en todo momento.

Quiero destacar especialmente la atención de Michelle, Alexandra, Daniela, Jairo y George, quienes hicieron que la experiencia fuera realmente excepcional. Su amabilidad, disposición y profesionalismo marcan una gran diferencia.

En el spa nos trataron con tanta calidez y fue un servicio increíble. Ale y Dani son grandes profesionales, y realmente se siente el cuidado en cada detalle y el enfoque genuino en el bienestar del cliente.

En los restaurantes, la comida fue deliciosa y la atención de Jairol y George, excepcional. Sin duda, un equipo que eleva toda la experiencia.

Las instalaciones tienen un ambiente tranquilo y acogedor, ideal para descansar y desconectarse. Además, la vista es espectacular, lo que hace todo aún más especial.

Voy a volver cada vez que pueda. Además de hermoso, es un lugar que se siente especial desde el primer momento.
