"I’ve stayed at many places but this is definitely one of my favorites. The building looks brand new and very well-maintained. There is a hangout room on the top floor with a huge Tv and coffee machine. Next to it is a small gym with a bathroom and a shower! There is also WiFi that works very well in both rooms! I really love the decoration in my room and the view was amazing. The kitchen was fully equipped with a full sized fridge. The AC and WiFi work very well. There is always a guard at the...

Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

5/5 Excellent

"We got what we needed, a comfortable stay at the airport after our late arrival. The room was clean and the breakfast was great - I really appreciated the cooked to order omelet or eggs. We did not explore other facilities as we checked out in the morning. We will stay here again on the way back, before an early morning flight. "

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

5/5 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, right next to the airport, but still in a lovely walkable neighborhood. Rooms are semi outside, so it feels very natural and the pool is beautiful, breakfast is also wonderful. Great place to relax before or after a long flight. Second time there and will certainly be back next time I’m in Costa Rica!"

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

5/5 Excellent

"Congrats This is without a doubt the best Marriott hotel we have been to. The grounds are amazingly beautiful and well kept. The staff made our stay so enjoyable. They were always attentive and helpful. Not one time did I hear a NO. Very polite. The restaurants served large portions and were well worth the prices. Some observations: The sliding doors to the bathrooms are useless and make noise. The gardeners should use electric tools around the pool and rooms. Some of the toilets in pool Area are toooo small and wet ones. I would turn the driving range into a 9 hole pitch and put. Overall a wonderful stay. Norman R Wright Flynn. Room 460. Jan 4-9 2025"
