DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

"The room was always kept clean from our first day to the last. The staff was always very nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back to Costa Rica and staying at the DoubleTree!!!"

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything"

Hotel Mango

10/10 Excellent

"The place was right on the beach and we received a room with a "partial ocean view" which was exactly what I had asked for. There was some construction happening on the property which made it feel a little cluttered but it did not affect the mood of the staff or the people staying at the hotel. We had an amazing time and enjoyed the location, and the staff. It was far enough away from downtown that we did"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

8/10 Good

"Good budget hotel. Not luxurious. They don’t give toothbrush set, the treadmill was broken, morning breakfast waffles they premake, so they were cold and bad tasting. Give us our waffle maker for breakfast!!"
