Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San José?
The best area to stay in San José is Escazú, known for its upscale amenities and convenient location just west of the city centre.

Escazú is a well-established area featuring modern shopping centres, high-quality restaurants, and a range of accommodation options from boutique hotels to larger, full-service properties. It's often considered a more refined alternative to the bustling downtown, offering a pleasant environment with good access to major roadways. You'll find many businesses and expatriate communities here, contributing to its developed feel.

For business travellers, Escazú is an excellent choice due to its proximity to corporate offices and business parks. Hotels in this area often provide high-end fitness equipment, executive lounges, and meeting facilities. The easy access to the main highways also makes commuting around the greater San José area more straightforward.

Couples looking for a comfortable and convenient base will also appreciate Escazú. The area offers a good selection of fine dining options and cafes, great for evenings out.
When is the best time to go to San José?
The best time to visit San José, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica, is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the city's attractions and enjoying outdoor activities. This period is great for travellers who want to avoid rain and prefer comfortable weather for sightseeing. You can comfortably visit places like the National Theatre or stroll through La Sabana Park without worrying about downpours.

May and November are shoulder months, offering a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds. While you might encounter occasional afternoon showers, they are usually brief, leaving plenty of time for activities. This timing can be excellent for couples seeking a slightly quieter experience while still enjoying good weather for day trips to nearby coffee plantations or volcanoes.

The wet season, from May to November, sees more frequent rain, especially in the afternoons. However, mornings are often still sunny, and the countryside is lush and green.
