La Rosa De America was perfect for us. We stayed for 2 nights and took the local bus into Alajuela. The bus stop is just around the corner, and it is easy to catch the bus. The town of Alajuela is not a tourist area which made it interesting to see. The grounds for the hotel are lovely, the property... more

Our family of 4 loved this hotel. The owners were extremely helpful and patient with all of our questions. We had to be at the airport by 5:00am and they booked a cab and even left breakfast to go at our door. The grounds were lovely and the rooms were spotless - and I loved the instant hot water in... more

I visited Costa Rica recently with my 5 year-old son and stayed at the La Rosa De America for 1 week. What a wonderful little secret only 7km from the San Jose Airport.

They were friendly, helpful, and made it feel like you were visiting their home. Our room was small and simple, but it was fine. The TV got a lot of channels... more

We visited Costa Rica in December 2007 and stayed at Hotel La Rosa de America for a total of four nights. This "gem" of a hotel is Located only 7kms from the San Jose airport. Not only is it a great place to stay the day of arrival and the night prior to departure, but you can use it as... more

This is a great, affordable hotel, near the airport, in a nice neighborhood. There are many places to eat nearby, and we felt we were in the "real" Costa Rica, not a touristy area. Our six-year old loved the nice swimming pool and the fresh fruit breakfasts. Hosts Jim and Roslyn are extremely helpful and nice people. Jim will create... more
