We ended our trip here to be close to the San Jose, CR airport. It started out hard to find per the written directions on their website. When we did get there we didn't find very friendly counter people for some reason. So we just blew it off and went to the room and found an OK room with a... more

I stayed my last night in Costa Rica at Orquideas Inn. It is my friends favorite place to stay near the airport. I thought for the room, the price was high. It wasn't the cleanest or nicest room. It cost $12 to share a shuttle to get to the airport. The room cost us $100 for 3 people, and then... more

This inn is very nice, beautiful and comfortable. I stayed here twice, before and after my travels in Centro America. The gardens are beautiful, the pool is clean, good breakfast and good service. The only problem is that it is far from the nearest town and you need to take a taxi everywhere. more

We stayed in this hotel with friends after arriving in Costa Rica. When the taxi drives you over to this hotel, just when you start thinking"OMG, I hope the hotel isn't in this area", you go aroun a walled corner and into a gate and you are in another place entirely. The grounds are very nice with hills and huge... more

Our last stay at the Orquideas Inn was this past June with a large group (30+) of family and friends while on our way to my daughter's wedding. My family has been to Costa Rica 7 times, and we have stayed at the Orquideas Inn on our last four trips down there. It is a short taxi ride from the... more

We drove from the Nosara area looking for a place to stay in Alajuela before we left Costa Rica the following day. After Alajulea was overwhelming (especially if you are coming off of a 6 hours drive after 5 days at the beach), and this place is a perfect place to relax and unwind .The rooms were clean (nothing spectacular),... more

This was a great place to start our trip to Costa Rica. We arranged to be picked up at the airport through the hotel. Our driver and tour guide Luis was waiting for us. He was professional, knowledgeable, oriented us to Costa Rica and helped us plan our week long trip suggesting hotels and how to get around. While this... more

We stopped at the Orquideas Inn after deciding last minute that are previous hotel was too rustic for us. I was very happy with our choice. The Orquideas Inn has a really nice refershing pool, of which I starred up at all sorts of tropical birds in their palms while I floated in it. We also enjoyed the hot tub... more

The rooms were not exactly welcoming, and the atmosphere in general was a little dreary. Pretty on the outside and in pictures, but not exactly what I had in mind after reviewing the website. Good prices. more
