Frailes Holidays from £994

Hotel was in the process of finishing dining area renovation so we ate in the gym area. The new dining/bar area looks great. Rooms are a bit dated but we liked it.

Un hotel muy bonito. Piscina de agua fría y de aguas termales. Muy buen desayuno incluido.

The Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belén is the place to be if you need to stay in San José for one or two days. First of all, the building itself is stunning, and the surrounding gardens are beautifully maintained. It feels like a peaceful oasis and offers a striking contrast to the rest of San José, while still being conveniently close to the airport. The rooms are slightly noisy, but the staff more than make up for it—they are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and service-oriented. The gym is excellent. We were hoping to play pickleball, but unfortunately there was no net available. The swimming pools are a very welcome addition and add to the relaxed, resort-like atmosphere. For lunch and dinner, the restaurants La Castilla, La Isabela, and Bar 10 are all highly recommended. For breakfast, I would skip the relatively expensive buffet and instead go to Casa del Café, where you can enjoy a delicious à la carte breakfast along with excellent coffee and pastries. In terms of price, it was comparable to an airport hotel, but the experience felt much more like a mini vacation.

Nice place. Property little old, nice views

Breakfast buffet options were good and staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Property is not located in an area that has alot around it was the only downside
