I love the beautiful grounds, the and the room was adequate for a one‑night stay.
Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Rosa de America two years ago and stayed in room 18 (double room). It was fabulous with a great view of the gardens and well‑kept up (the A/C worked well and the room looked updated). This time we stayed one night in room 5 (double room as well) which had some issues (see next section).

Pros of room 5:
- The hot water was good and the room was quiet for the night.
- We did sit out in the morning on the patio and enjoyed our coffee, the birds, and the grounds, which are immaculately kept and beautiful.
- The complimentary breakfast is nice, offering fruit, scrambled eggs, rice/beans, breads, and cheeses. For the price point it is a good value.
- The staff are friendly.

I would stay here again, but not in that room for more than one night. The hotel’s garden setting, quiet atmosphere, and good food make it worth returning, provided you secure a better‑maintained room.

Note: If you do stay at this hotel, try Chery’s for lunch or dinner—they have a lot of traditional Costa Rican food like chifrijío, which is delicious and a must‑try. It’s a super‑easy and safe walk from the hotel.

Cons:

When I booked this room for one night, Booking.com said I received a free room upgrade with my Booking membership, but the room we were given (room 5) was not an upgrade. It is also a double room, but there were a few issues:
- The A/C unit had difficulty cooling the room, and if we tried to lower it to 22 °C it started to make a weird sound. This room was small, so the A/C should not have had a problem if it had been maintained well.
- Unlike room 18, where the bedding and shower handles all seemed to be working and updated, this room is in need of new bedding and the shower faucet was very loose.
- The way the room is positioned, the window only brings in a bit of natural light and directly faces two other rooms. If we had been staying for more than one night and were not heading home the next morning, I would have requested another room.


Suggestion: The restaurant and lobby do not open until 7 a.m.; it would be nice to have an earlier coffee option for early risers.

Pros:

Gostei dos quartos, muito confortáveis e silenciosos à noite, a ducha ótima também, os jardins que rodeiam os chalés.

Cons:

Não gostei do café da manhã, tínhamos que perguntar tudo, pois não havia indicação. Também a qualidade dos itens era fraca. Sugestão: tome seu café da manhã em outro lugar.

Als erster Übernachtungsstop in Costa Rica geeignet
Pros:

Die Hotelanlage mit Pool war sehr schön. Die Mitarbeiterinnen waren sehr freundlich. Das Essen war sehr lecker.

Cons:

Uns fehlten Ablagemöglichkeiten im Schlafzimmer.
Der Verkehrslärm ab 5 Uhr ist schon gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber vom Hotel nicht beeinflussbar.
