"Fabulous stay at Miss Junie’s
Stayed there a full week
Room was spacious with comfortable bed and bedding
Large shower with hot water a bonus
Housekeeping was well done
Veranda was lovely to sit on during evening
Property is large with good sized pool
Location at north end of town so less noisy than in town.
Daily breakfast was plentiful and delicious
Staff were the best part of stay - assistance with arranging excursions. Victor was always there with a smile.
We would absolutely return"

The room, the bed, the shower, and the breakfast—no complaints at all; on the contrary, it was all great. We'll definitely come back the next time we need to stay near the airport. The only thing we didn't like is that, although it's great that they are pet-friendly, the pet fee for a one-night stay was a bit high ($75 USD + tax).

We were floored when we first saw the view and the room! It is so special and our first night was quiet and romantic. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff was exceptional! We only had a couple of complaints and when we had the complaints, the staff was eager to help in any way possible. We had an issue with our DVD player-which in our mind wasn't a huge deal because it's so fantastic there you don't really need movies, but we wanted to relax our last night and we couldn't get the DVD player to...

Wonderful property at the botanical gardens overlooking the San Jose city with nice walking trails.
Tons of birds and butterflies.
The on-site restaurant is top notch.
I don’t need one, but rooms do not have televisions.
Use caution if driving as the roads are steep and narrow. Cars and trucks often park in the road creating one lane there aren’t any sidewalks so people and dogs also share the roads so be mindful if driving.

I was a little worried during the taxi ride to the hotel that I had made a terrible mistake in picking the hotel as some of the areas look a little rough (by American standards), however, once at the gated hotel I realized that I indeed had made a good choice when choosing the location as the property is incredibly calming and beautiful. Just know that since you are out of the city you will need to use Uber eat or a taxi to get food as there is no onsite restaurant.

Great customer service, even booked a shuttle for the next day (same price as if I did it myself). Airport pickup, reception, check-in, breakfast, local directions, and the room were all excellent. They even drove us to a nearby restaurant. The only drawback was that Room #1 was in the hallway, so be aware that noises in the hallway and bedroom transmit easily.

This is a brand new property, recently built. This hotel has a great location, steps from the Costa Rica Convention Center, there are shopping malls, clinics, restaurants, at walkable distance.
There is shuttle service to the SJO airport,
Breakfast was great too including costarican typical food.
Hope to be staying here again soon!

This hotel (not really kind of a retreat/B&B) is set away from the surrounding towns and is in the middle of a small working farm. You drive past cows and milking stalls on the way in....you feel that you're stepping even further away from your busy life to a simpler time. When you step inside it does take a while to realize you are really in someones home, and it's very welcoming.

The courtyard, used for meals, was lovely - heaters provided for cooler weather. The menus for both breakfast and dinner offered a variety of local as well as international options. Our standard room was small, but very comfortable.
The best feature, for those who love to walk, is the location - a twenty minute stroll from central downtown, near wonderful museums...

What a unique experience! The room included breakfast and a ~2 hour guided tour of the reserve. The rooms (with bunk beds) and the food/dining hall were bare bones, think summer camp vibes, but a summer camp where you are awakened by howler monkeys and tucans. Recommended!

Loved the attention we received from it’s staff Sofie, Chef Nayomi, Ivana and Cooper. The room was lovely and very comfortable bed. Cooper was very helpful with the transportation. Not happy about not knowing the travel time was not included in the description. It takes 3-4 hrs from airport then 1 hour boat ride to get to the hotel. Even though it’s all inclusive they didn’t serve alcoholic beverages only wine. Would have loved some mojitos, piba colado or margaritas. Also no tv in the room.
