Top San Mateo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Punta Leona

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at Punta Leona! The rooms were comfortable and very well maintained, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. Every single staff member we interacted with—from reception, room service, the restaurants, the bars, and the entertainment team—was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. Their warm hospitality truly made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The resort offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. We especially enjoyed the birdwatching and butterfly activities, where the guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. Between the nature walks, beautiful beaches, pool activities, exfoliation sessions, and excellent gastronomy, every day was a wonderful balance of exploring the jungle and ocean while also taking time to unwind. We highly recommend Punta Leona to families and to anyone looking to experience Costa Rica’s natural beauty in a peaceful, relaxing setting."

Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant was excellent morning, noon and night...but with the night eating it is only reservations ONLY at 6,7,8,9....but you cannot make them there at restaurant, juist at the front desk. I e-mailed them to make reservationes for that evening, and 5 days later still no response so I am very happy I made a special trip to front desk to get it taken care of. Food was great. Only problem for me was no ice machine in building #3 as I walked the floors one evening for 15 minutes and finally bumped into a local maintaince worker and he said only 1 is on the bottom floor by registration. Sad, usually there is one on all hotel floors near the elevators."

Hotel Aeropuerto

8/10 Good

"This was a great hotel to stay at the night before our flight out. The airport shuttle was fast and efficient. Breakfast was delicious. The grounds are beautiful and it's hard to believe you are so close to the airport. It feels like you are staying at a hacienda. This was our second time staying here and we would stay again."

Las Carmelas, Airport Juan Santamaría, Alajuela, San José

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay and would absolutely return on our way back to San José! The property is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous tropical plants everywhere you look. One of our favorite spots was the peaceful meditation lounge overlooking the koi fish and the magnificent mango tree—it was the perfect place to relax and unwind after traveling. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They made us feel right at home. The only minor downsides were that the exchange rate offered for currency wasn't any better than what we could get at the airport, and the airport transfer was more expensive than taking an Uber. Neither issue took away from our overall experience, but they're worth knowing in advance. Overall, this was a wonderful stay. The beautiful grounds, tranquil atmosphere, great breakfast, and exceptional staff made it a place we'd happily recommend, and we look forward to staying here again on our next trip through San José."
