From the time we set foot on the property, we were “wowed”! We did the trails, swam in the Infiniti pool, had dinner at the restaurant, purchased at the gift shop and arranged for transportation from and to airport. We even had a “breakfast -to-go”. Excellent and friendly staff. Amenities in the room were welcomed. Bed was comfortable. Would and will highly recommend.

The place is clean, and very cozy it really feels like home. The host was amazing, always friendly and attentive. The location is very central, so everything is close by, and the airport shuttle service was a huge plus, super convenient. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again without a doubt.

It's a quaint Spanish home that was converted into a hotel in 1915 by the grandmother who had the vision / foresight. It is beautiful and the owners (daughter & husband) are very polite and accommodating. Breakfast was perfect and a menu to meet each pallette.

I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...

San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

We chose a location close to the airport, good price, no luxury. We got what we paid for: in the vibrant and authentic old town of Alajuela (what is much more attractive than the huge city area of San Jose), a familiar bed and breakfast, with a nice little room for a fair price. The staff is very friendly and they serve a well organized breakfast in the pretty patio. They organized us a taxi that appeared exactly at 4 pm and the very important sense of staying there was done perfectly. Thanks for this great stay!

Very nice, calm location near airport, with nice patio. Really convenient for first and last day of our trip around Costa Rica. Fast communication, clear instructions and best is their airport transfer, even drove us and come for us to our car rental place near airport. I really recommend this accomodation.
