Hotel Santo Tomás

Carmen

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is charming and beautiful--it was once a coffee magnate's villa. The floors have beautiful tiles and the ceilings are high. There are several lovely furnished terraces to enjoy and a blue tiled hot tub and pool area, with a slide or stairs from one to the other. There is also a workout room. We could not stay for the free breakfast due to our early departure. There is parking at the hotel for a reasonable fee, which we took advantage of as we had a rental car. The front desk folks...

Hotel Bougainvillea San José

10/10 Excellent

The staff at the Bougainvillea welcome and get to know each and every one of their guests. You feel like you are a guest in their own home. The rooms are clean and spacious with great views of the mountain or the garden - I had a tree top view of a flowering Margarita tree - sensational! The dining is good and the prices comparable to most restaurants. Don't expect a bargain as there are none in Costa Rica. However, the breakfast is free, substantial and you can have as much as you want of...

Hotel Pibi Boreal

Desamparados

10/10 Excellent

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.

Hotel Casa Roland San José

10/10 Excellent

Had a hard time finding this place because the online directions were wrong. However, the difficulty finding it was more than outweighed by our experience with the hotel itself. Definitely not your average American sterile, all-look-the-same hotel: the hotel was full of paintings purchased by the owner along with other art work. Polished wood, tile floors, multiple seating areas, extremely helpful staff, beautiful room with seating area, clean, comfortable. Everything was perfect. An...
