“comfortable, quiet, private and very close to airport!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 13, 2012

Jody and Wilson are terrific hosts, helpful and attentive without being clingy, and the place is lovely, many sweet, artistic and elegant touches in the rooms and the central pool area. Very comfortable, really quiet for Alajuela, and we had a great night at a local Mexican restaurant.
Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone, and for the tours especially if travelling in the country for the first time, or if someone is uncomfortable with Spanish language.

“A great end to our trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 12, 2012

My husband and I stayed our last night before coming back home at Casa Marin. Jody and Wilson are so nice and accomodating. They picked us up from returning our rental car, drove us to dinner that night, and also to the airport at 4:30am the next morning. They really made us end our trip on a high note at their lovely B&B. Such wonderful people and I am so happy that I found out about them and got the opportunity to meet them and stay there.

The room was very clean and the bed was very comfy as well. The B&B is located very close to the airport so it is a great place to start or end your trip. They also offer driver services around Costa Rica...which I would highly recommend after renting a car and driving ourselves. It is very easy to get lost because road signs are rare to say the least.

When we return to Costa Rica we will most definately stay at Casa Marin again. :)

“Great host, great room!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2012

We wanted a place to stay the night before a flight home. This was perfect. Jodi met us outside the airport area. Helped us find a place to clean up the rental car and led us through the unpredictable road construction to return our vehicle. The room was very clean and nice, the bathroom was awesome. They have very good taste in decorating and room design. Jodi went out of her way to make us feel at home. Room was great, comfortable. Host was awesome and a great conversationalist with stories to tell. It was really nice to get up in the morning to great coffee a good breakfast and no worries about making the airport on time. Jodi was looking out for us!

“Great B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2012

We felt like we were visiting a friend at her home and treated like special guests.
The room was large, beautifully decorated and clean.
Our breakfast was set up outside by the lovely pool area. Jody found out that my husband likes Froot Loops and had a box included with the breakfast. She made french toast, eggs, rice mixed with beans, fruit salad, pastries and more.
Jody did so much to help us out; even accompanying us to the rental car office to make sure that we had no problems.
We absolutely recommend Casa Marin!

Casa Marin B&B is located less than 10 minutes from the San Jose, SJO, airport. We are in Alajuela and are central to the volcanos, coffee plantations, waterfalls, botantical gardens and other tourist favorites. Many hotels are centered in a very busy and noisy area near the airport, Casa Marin B&B is located in a tranquil, rural area of Alajuela, yet convenient to restaurants and shopping. We offer two poolside cabinas, one especially for couples, the other for a family of four. In the main house, we have two other bedrooms and have room for up to nine guests. Casa Marin B&B is only an hour and a half from the Pacific Beach, two hours from La Fortuna and Volcano Arenal. We want the best possible vacation for our guests and are knowledgeable about hotels and tours in many areas of the country. ... more   less
