I have just completed a 6 month backpacking trip through South America, Central America and the US and so predominantly i stayed in inexpensive hostels. After finding this place online, after a 4 or 5 days in the slightly disappointing Manuel Antonio area, I decided to treat myself before moving on to my next country. I have to say this... more

I've stayed at Colours several times this year, as well as in years past, and will continue to stay there in the future whenever I'm in San Jose. I'm don't stay there because it's a "gay" hotel. In fact, the guests are a very diverse mix of gay, straight, male, and female, of many ethnic backgrounds from countries all over... more

I was a bit apprehensive about staying in a gay hotel, but the price and location was perfect for my needs. From the outset I was totally impressed. Exceptionally clean, surprising amenities and very cordial and helpful staff. The other guests were friendly and seemed to "sense" that I was not "available." I will absolutely stay there again and highly... more

All the services we were provided with surpassed our expectations to a detail. We will definitely come back with friends and stay at Colours. The staff took care of us as if we were their own family members. They are very resourceful and they make you feel you are in an utopian place. Remarkable! more

I have stayed here at least 16 times and the staff and the enviroment here are the best in San Jose! The breakfast there is great and they are so accomadating. It is like being at the beach and your are so close to everything yet not the noise that you find at the other Hotels. I guess That is... more

I had only two nights at -- I wish it had been longer. I was here in 2004 and had a nice stay then as well. The service stands out as excellent. Ed, the manager on duty for much of my stay was professional, personable, fun and extremely helpful with arrangements and tours. Lis was similarly helpful and nice. I... more

My partner and I just returned from the most fabulous 2 weeks in Costa Rica. We chose Colours Oasis based on hours of online research and previous reviews. We were very happy with the staff, the property and location, and we are both very confident that it is the best “gay accommodation” option in San Jose. With that being said,... more

This property is run down and the staff is not very friendly. My partner and I travel often and always try to stay at gay owned guest houses. The pictures look much better than the place actually is. Forget using the pool or hot tub as they do not heat either of them and they are both ice cold. The... more
