AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Superbe propriété. En plein centre-ville, sécuritaire et très bien entretenu. J'y retournerais sans hésiter."

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great but the neighborhood was a bit gritty. Not great for an evening stroll."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room with friendly and wonderful staff. The restaurant in the hotel was pricey but the food was amazing. Location is in a busy area but there’s lots to do all in walking distance. Also There’s nowhere to park, you can only do valet which is just a one-time payment of $28 for your whole stay."
