Good for a night after arrival at the airport
Pros:

Seems like a well run hotel. Though we were just there for a night after our flight, we enjoyed our first taste of Costa Rican hospitality. Comfy beds and a nice decor. Good bathrooms. Nice breakfast and we also had dinner there. A bit of road noises which is difficult with jetlag. Nice grounds and feels secure with a security guard at the gate. Would recommend and would stay there again no question.

Hôtel proche aéroport et agréable si vous avez les bonnes chambres
Pros:

Emplacement, restaurant et personnel top.

Cons:

Nous avons passer 2 nuits au début de notre séjour dans cet hôtel et une nuit à la fin, pour le même prix vous pouvez vous retrouver dans des chambres très moyennes ou au contraire au top.

Peaceful oasis, perfect before and after flights
Pros:

Lovely building and grounds. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Pool perfect. We stayed when we arrived in CR and for our last night too. Would definitely stay there again if we are lucky enough to return to CR. It’s slightly out the way if you are taking shared shuttles/ tours rather than driving, but it’s a quick ride in an uber to the airport (or the hotel can arrange a taxi) and common meeting places for tours, so not really an issue.

Pros:

La cama era muy cómoda y estaba muy limpio. El personal fue muy amable. No probamos la piscina pero tenía muy buena pinta. Me volvería a quedar aquí si viajase a Costa Rica (y tuviese que hacer parada cerca del aeropuerto) y evitaría entrar en San José centro.

Hermoso!
Pros:

La villa es hermosa y todo el personal fue muy amable y atento; realmente nos hicieron sentir muy bien durante nuestra estadía. El restaurante nos encantó: la comida, los tragos y, sobre todo, la atención fueron excelentes. Las instalaciones son muy lindas, estaban limpias y muy bien mantenidas.

Cons:

Lo único que no nos gustó tanto fue la ubicación. Nosotros decidimos quedarnos en el hotel durante todo el día, ya que la villa cuenta con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de una estadía sin necesidad de salir. Sin embargo, nos hubiera gustado recibir previamente información sobre el entorno y saber que el hotel se encuentra muy cerca de una zona considerada peligrosa. No tuvimos ningún inconveniente porque no salimos, pero creemos que es importante contar con esa información de antemano, especialmente para quienes puedan tener pensado salir a recorrer la zona.

vi brugte det en enkelt nat og kunne ikke have været mere tilfredse! Et perfekt lufthavnshotel!
Pros:

uden tvivl det bedste lufthavnshotel man kan finde. det har den costa ricanske charme, samtidig med at være billigt og tæt på lufthavnen. ville aldrig bruge et andet lufthavnshotel end dette, hvis du lander i Juan Santamaria.

Cons:

det eneste er at det ikke ligger klods op og ned af lufthavnen. Tilgengæld skrev hoteller til mig om jeg manglede transport til hoteller og sørgede for dette!

Our absolutely perfect arrival to Costa Rica for a party of seven kids+
Pros:

This was our arrival airport stay, but a wonderful one day vacation: great tranquil spaces, wonderful easy and tasty restaurant. We wanted to return before our flight out, but all was booked. With a party of three adults and seven kids I couldn’t have booked anything better. It’s a place to spend time as well. Great rooms! Very smooth service. Everything very clean, quite beautiful, thoughtful. I highly recommend.
