Pros:

Small, practical and comfortable. Breakfast was very limited, but tasty. Location is excellent for walking in downtown. You can pretty much walk anywhere. I certainly enjoyed staying there and will come back if I am in the area.

Excellent location (superb for the airport), lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean, fantastic.
Pros:

This is a very safe, quiet, gated community literally five minutes from the airport. The accommodation was big enough to cater for 3 people and still have room for large suitcases etc. Spotlessly clean with good air conditioning and fans. The added bonus was the breakfast! Overall an excellent experience, excellent hosts and exceptionally close to the airport for transfers. Would highly recommend.

Cons:

nothing.

Perfecte laatste nacht voor terugreis!
Pros:

Laatste nacht voor de vlucht naar Nederland. Het was erg fijn om een lekker bed te hebben, nog even bij het zwembad te loungen, gemakkelijk de stad in te lopen en de ochtend van vertrek iets te kunnen ontbijten & gebruik te maken van de gratis shuttle!

Cons:

De sfeer. Het is wel echt een tussenstop voor je reis naar of van Costa Rica aangezien het zo lekker dichtbij het vliegveld is en je nog even de stad kunt ervaren.

Pros:

The bilingual staff is always kind, courteous, and ready to help. The breakfast is a atep above continental. It's our go-to property when we have early departures or late arrivals at SJO.
