Los Candiles offers comfortable, spacious, well-appointed rooms with all the amenities (free WiFi) also needed for the business guest at an excellent rate. The tropical setting is very peaceful and quiet with only the birds to wake you with their singing. The people are very kind, knowledgable and helpful from the front desk staff to the delightful ladies who cook... More

I spent two nights here while on business. The bed was very comfortable. The rooms are very spacious and the shower is not only big, but also has a bench & window on each side. My husband accompanied me and the front desk staff was very helpful in organizing a tour for him while I worked. Breakfast was in a... More

I travel to Costa Rica a few times a year and always try to stay at Los Candiles. Everything about it is inviting - from the friendly service, great breakfast, and comfort. They have some wonderful suites with refrigerator and microwave. Very comfortable beds, too. My only problem with writing this review is that it may become so popular that... More

This hotel is very convenient to the international airport, very safe, secure and in a nice area. It is also quiet and has a helpful staff. Very Costa Rican? No. But if you're in a transitional state and want to be near the airport, in or out of the country, it's perfect. The staff at the front desk is fluent... More

Our usual hotel, about a mile away, was full. Lucky for us - because we found this wonderful little gem hidden behind the Mas x Menos in Santa Ana!

The room was really nice though we found ants.. anyways they were little so we didnt worry that much. Apart from that the room was really well furnished and comfortable. The swimming pool is almost non-existent ( very small!!) and they offer an average breakfast ( I would say it is rather poor). Another drawback is location since it is... More
