Four families stayed at the Double Cariari for one night before continuing to Manuel Antonio. We took the free shuttle from SJO and were given warm, delicious cookies as soon as we walked in the door. Even though it was only 1:00, we were given rooms right away. The front desk personnel were very friendly and accommodating. We asked for... more

the hotel was clean and comfortable. The only thing that I would like is a free shuttle to and from the airport. We only stayed one night upon arrival to costa rica. There is not much to do close by the hotel and the staff says that it is not safe to walk around at night, so you must take... more

This was a very nice hotel. The staff really works hard to please guests. When the ice machine did not work and we called the front desk they immediately brought us a bucket of ice. The rooms are in the midst of a tropical setting and are comfortable. It was clean and staff always ready to help. The pool was... more

I was really hoping to stay at an independent hotel in downtown San Jose for the last night of our vacation in Costa Rica. However, I had a 6AM flight out of CR the next day and downtown is too far from the airport. So, I chose this Double Tree because it appeared to have the best reviews of all... more

We stayed here for the first night of our 11-day Costa Rica trip. It was a short 10-15 minutes from the international airport. We were impressed by the friendly and helpful staff. We arrived at about noon and were able to check in early. The pool area was nice. We liked our balcony with a pool view. Our room was... more

We went to San Jose only for the opportunity to raft on the Rio Pacuare, one of the best white water rafting rivers in the country. We had heard San Jose was nothing to write home about and we didnt even go into downtown san jose cause of the little time we spent here, which we were fine with. It... more

The Thompson Twins would be proud of the front desk manager. Here's the story: Checked in on 6/8 to catch the flight home after 3 wonderful, glorious nights in La Fortuna/Arenal. Reservation was prepaid at rate of $118.15 plus taxes. Reservation made for 2 adults. On check-in we were told that the reservation was for one adult and that the... more

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Costa Rica. We loved staying at the Doubletree Cariari at the beginning of our stay so much that we booked another night at the end of our trip since we were flying back from San Jose again! The location is close enough to the airport but still somewhat separated... more
