FAQs about hotels in San José

- From $166.79 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 889 reviewsThis was a family trip. The rooms were cozy and well equipped. Extra blankets and heating is provided. The rooms are comfortable and surrounded by nature. It creates a great experience and you have the river sound. If you are not used to that sound it is really relaxing. The hotel has a green house where you can buy and see plants. They are lovely. The trails are very nice. Be mindful that to reach the entrance you need to walk 1.5 Km. La Quebrada is a trail that you can walk with small children. No wheel chair nor prawn/stroller. Los Pioneros is a short and flat trail. Suitable for elderly persons. We traveled with one and was the perfect walk. The food was delicious. The breakfast is a buffet with plenty of options and very tasty.Guest review byGildaLuxembourg
- From $144.92 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very Good - What previous guests thought, 72 reviewsThe hotel location was perfect for us as we were exploring the area. The Centro Comercial Montegeneral is within walking distance from the hotel. The drive to the the Perez Zeledon central area was about 15-20 minutes to Dominical around one hour. The hotel itself has an onsite restaurant, pool, spa and gym. The hotel staff very helpful and courteous especially Carlos and Stephanie too we are studying Spanish so we really appreciated they were able to speak and understand English as well as Spanish. The restaurant server and overall great guy Bernie made our dining experience extra special. Our room was spacious, clean comfortable beds and lots of storage space. Good internet service.Guest review byNancyCosta Rica
- From $202.89 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 660 reviewsHotel Suria is in a great location, near the river. It has a beautiful dining room and gardens, nice rooms, and friendly, gracious staff. We traveled from SJO in a private van to the valley with Adobe Tours, March 2023, for $182 US. I recommend you do the country a favor and not drive the mountains yourself, as roads are rough and CR has a wonderful system of shuttles and drivers.Guest review bySea2SeaUnited States

Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.Guest review byDavidBarbados - 10.0

Escazu is a lovely suburb of San Jose and I go there to see my dentist (Go NOVA Dental CR!) -- it's a huge center for dental tourism. Otherwise there are many more compelling places to visit in CR.Guest review byRobin DrulardUnited States - 10.0

Vista Canyon Inns was highly recommended by my Doctor and they did not disappoint me. Mr. Dr. and the hospital were minutes away and the hotel arranged all my transportation. Great restaurants of all varieties and prices were within a short ride or UBER Eats. Loved this part of the Central Valley. The mall is huge but, very expensive. Much better than staying in SAN JOSE.Guest review byMarsha WaddelowUnited States - 8.0

It feels safe, even at night to walk around. lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Traffic is very heavy though and you have to pay attention crossing the street. Feels like an upper class neighborhood that is fairly well kept up. Also on the bus line and have never had a problem getting an Uber there.Guest review byfrenchUnited States - 10.0
Rivas is a great location to base yourself.
Rivas is a great location to base yourself. It's easily reachable from San Jose via good quality roads. Rivas has a great selection of national parks to visit, plenty of local restaurants and other attractions to visit and keep you busy. Additionally, it is close enough to the East coast to be a great base for day trips. We travelled to both Dominical and Uvita in under two hours. This puts a large number of other national parks within easy reach.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.Guest review byJuleneJamaica - 10.0

It is really nice, we went to Savegre for dinner since we had a reservation made on one restaurant there, but I am sure that if you plan the trip to fully stay on Copey you would find a lot to see, walk and do there. If you decide to go and visit Savegre take into consideration that it is a 40min driveGuest review byKimettCosta Rica
