Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

10/10 Excellent

"The Property is in a fantastic location in the great community Belen. It is close to the city but still far enough away to feel like the country. The People are the most amazing part of this property. Love the kindness and generous nature to help. Great Job Marriot Hacienda!"

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and comfortable beds. Wifi was a little spotty. Pool was relaxing. Breakfast had a lot of options and the gentleman who ran the kitchen made my friend a really cool banana Dolphin with strawberries and fresh honey. So cool! Convenient location to the car return but not much else in an easily walkable area other than the casino next door. The shuttle for dining options was nice though. Quick shuttle to the airport was fantastic as well."
