Xandari is a beautiful and peaceful escape. The surroundings are breathtaking, with lush gardens and stunning views. The food at the restaurant was fresh and flavorful, and the staff made me feel truly cared for. My room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and I left feeling completely refreshed. I can’t wait to return!

Beautiful rooms and view. Restaurant food was mediocre and overpriced. The view did makeup for that. Staff in the restaurant and on the first floor were excellent. The reception left a lot to be desired (expressed concern about blinking red light on what I’m guessing was fire and carbon monoxide alarm, they said they would send someone up. They never did. About 45 min after I went to show the front staff the video as it also made a clicking noise that made it difficult for me to stay asleep).

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:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Klarna has convenient monthly payment plans that work for all budgets, so you can escape on that well-earned holiday sooner.

  • 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.
