The property was absolutely beautiful, Will maintain, and the staff was wonderful! Even though it’s a large resort, it didn’t feel busy because there are so many little areas, walking paths and Hot Springs to escape to. We will definitely be visiting again! Excellent vacation!

This was the most beautiful hotel and property I have ever stayed at! (Which I guess is reflected in the price...) Everyone was kind and lovely. The breakfast was amazing! The dinner options were excellent portions as well! Unfortunately we arrived the day before they closed the pool and hot tubs for maintenance.

Our family absolutely loved Koora Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely cared for by the staff (especially Jason who has already reached out to me in advance to understand our arrival time) and fell in love with the setting, which is nestled beautifully into the mountain forest. The service was impeccable, and the view overlooking the Monteverde cloud forest from the restaurant was truly epic. The food was so fantastic that we ended up eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner there just to sample as much of the menu as possible—the fresh tropical fruit juices and local cuisine were highlights! Our Forest Room was incredibly cozy, and the overall design of the hotel is beautiful. We also loved how perfectly positioned the hotel is. It’s a stone’s throw from the amazing San Lucas Treetop Dining experience and literally ten steps away from Natuwa Reserve, where we took a lovely tour and saw sloths up close. I can’t say enough good things about this fantastic hotel. Highly recommended!

Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Desamparados holidays?
Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to make booking your next getaway easier on your bank balance. Paying by instalment means you can spread the costs of your next dream escape, leaving you with more money to play with while you're travelling. Klarna has several payment plans to pick from, so you're sure to find something that works with your budget. Browse these flexible payment options:

  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your trip (rather than the full total upfront) makes it easier to click that "book now" button, consider a low deposit holiday payment plan with Klarna.

Where should I stay in Desamparados?
With loads to discover in Desamparados, we recommend you book a room in a hotel close to its attractions. City Mall, Juan Santamaría Park and Central Park are some top ones to put on your to-do list.

Lock in a room at Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport. It's one of the neighbourhood's most popular hotels. Another reputable option in Desamparados is Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela.
How far in advance should I book my Desamparados holiday?
While not all air carriers release tickets early, it's usually possible to compare international airfares on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. This is the time when you'll bag some fantastic bargains. If you're booking late, there's a chance you could get lucky. Sometimes the cheapest prices emerge only weeks prior to departure.
What does an Expedia Desamparados travel package include?
That mostly depends on you. You can pick from a variety of Desamparados packages, such as a hotel, rental car and flight. You can also book a hotel and a flight, or a rental car with a flight.
