San Isidro7 nights9.6/10 - Exceptional (1,000 reviews)"The hotel was nice enough and we enjoyed walking the trails to the waterfall.

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport
"The hotel staff were excellent and I particularly appreciate the man who let me know I could leave my rental car keys in a drop box instead of driving it to a return location.
