We spent one night here on the last leg of our fantastic CR adventure trip. The room was comfortable and it did have some perks. 1). We had a balcony that overlooked the pool area, which was very nice to sit and relax. 2). The free cocktail hour in the lobby bar from 5:00 - 6:00 was nice and we... More

I got stuck here one recent evening while traveling through, thankfully the friendly staff cut me a little discount on a room. The clientele is a mix between San José's business elite and upscale tourists. I didn't fit in with my worn backpack, to say the least. The pool is sweet and it's not too often you get to work...

I stayed one full week there. On the second day I broke my foot in a tour, and they let me borrow a wheelchair for the rest of the week. The maids were kind and sweet, the rooms are not luxurious but comfortable. You can drink harmlessly the tap water on the bathrooms, the pool is beautiful, the jacuzzi is... More

I was hosted during three nights and I quite liked. Theres was only a little problem with a leak in the bathroom. All the workers at the hotel are nice and polite, specially I met a waitress at the hotel's bar La Cantina (I don't remember her name) but she was really nice to me all the time. The hotel... More

We spent 3 nights at Best Western Irazu last week before and after a week south in Dominical. The hotel has a nice pool and jacuzzi. But more than that it has free airport shuttle service, free breakfast at Denny's, free internet, free happy hour from 5:00-6:00 and free calling to the USA! Be sure to ask for a pool... More

To be clear, this place is an okay choice for an overnight stay (say for an early morning flight the next day) but definitely nothing more. We stayed over the night before a JetBlue flight the next morning at the end of our trip. There were hoards of American tourists complete with a giant highschool immersion type trip. In fact... More

I chose this hotel with advice from our tour guide Mike Valldejuli from Paradise tours. I will talk about Mike's service following the hotel review. We were planning on staying at Tryp Hotel, but had second thoughts since there was no pool or hot tub. To me those are two thing you need access to when on vacation. When I... More

Our flight was cancelled and Air Canada sent us to this hotel for the night. The front desk staff was pleasant and accommodating. The rooms overlooking the pool were quiet and nicely appointed.

I chose this hotel because I had a late arrival. I didn't want to have to hassle with taxis. However when I arrived, I discovered that the shuttle stopped running at 8:40 at night. This was not on their web site. Taxi ran $22. Although there was an extremely loud disco playing when we arrived, it did not affect our... More
