Top Rara Avis Waterfall Hotel Reviews

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely clean rooms, excellent service from all staff, from the front desk to restaurant to housekeeping. The front desk staff especially Leynor, offered so much assistance from my early check in to any question or guidance I needed. The restaurant staff were very friendly, especially Fernando. I especially loved the mini freebies like dessert or appetizer. Very cozy ambience, less crowd and traffic in lobby, bar and restaurant areas compared to larger hotels. The warmth of the hotel staff combined with the light aura of the cozy corners suited me perfectly. Will definitely return!"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

"Beautiful"

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is always very helpful, cheery and accomodating. Checkin is always a breeze, the shuttle for the Gastronomic Route is efficient and reliable to take us to quality food options (rePUBlic is a favourite) and the breakfast is healthy, plentiful and well cared for by the staff (Minor was a kind and caring manager of the food and gave us nice insights into the various fruits available). Bravo team Alajuela HI."

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional service"

Poas Volcano Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful building, room was impressive and unique. The woodwork was impressive. However, it would be helpful to share that they share a entrance of a dairy farm. The road was closed when we got there. We were unsure if we were in the right place."

Loma Tranquila

10/10 Excellent

"I wanted to stay somewhere local with charm and this was perfect for both. It’s run by a mom and her sweet staff and daughters. It’s not new or shiny but it’s full of beautiful charm and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Enjoying a traditional homemade breakfast every morning by the pool was the perfect way to start my day. I was a solo traveler and they made me feel at home. Loma Tranquila is only 20 minutes from the airport. Tucked away in the Alajuela mountains. If you want an authentic experience with lovely locals this is your place. Even if it’s one night on your way to somewhere else, give her your business. You will not regret waking up to the most beautiful views I have ever seen outside of my room. I will return and can’t wait to show my daughter the place that was home for so many days for me."
