I stayed here for one night prior to my long haul flight the next day. It was in a perfect location, close to the airport yet in a very nice residential area which you could have a walk around and with a large supermarket opposite. I ate in the bistro restaurant next door which was very tasty and comfortable and it was great to use the swimming pool prior to my flight the next morning. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The free shuttle service was great and reliable. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful the minute I arrived, from the driver who picked me up through to the Receptionist, waiters and housekeeping staff. I was travelling on my own but felt completely at ease staying here - thank you and well done! I would definitely stay again.

Service at reception and the bar/restaurant was great. The room was spacious and comfortable. The lock on the door wasn't working properly to begin with but after I reported it, it was fixed very quickly. Food in the restaurant was good quality. The included breakfast was good. The pool table was a nice addition. The swimming pool was nice (not too cold), but you do get a bit of debri off the sourrounding vegetation, but that is hard to keep on top off all the time. I Uber'd to here from San Jose downtown with no problem.

My stay was amazing!
From the airport shuttle, to the property with a fantastic view over the city, nice rooms/interieur, great breakfast menu to choose from to the super friendly and helpful staff.
Cute little town near the airport. Probably not a destination, but, if you have a night to kill before flying out, it's fine. Otherwise, there isn't anything I know of to draw visitors. Couple cute restaurants on the main street. Felt safe walking around after dark.

We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do. The church in the center of town was welcoming, and there are a lot of restaurants with good food and service. The bussing to other areas (San Jose and Heredia) is well marked and has an appropriate schedule. Plus, the area felt safe to walk after sunset. Because of its convivence, we extended our hotel stay to stay in the area, and only bussed to San Jose for the day.

For us La Rivera is a take off and arrival point, so the easy airport access is important. It is an easy walk to a phone store or Pali supermarket for some basics, and the local pista, church and park give you a safe introduction to Costa Rica. There is not much else to do in the immediate area.
This hotel was a gem! The photos did not do it justice. We booked it for our last night in Costa Rica and enjoyed it greatly. The surroundings and decor were tasteful. My husband also enjoyed a dip in the pool.
A big thank you to the staff members as they were exceptionally nice and helpful - I don't like coriander and the staff members did everything to make sure I would have no coriander in my food. If we go back to Costa Rica we will book a longer stay in this hotel as they also organise wildlife trips.
The hotel is very convenient for San José. On arrival at the airport the routine is to send a WhatsApp message (they will already have made contact on WhatsApp) and they will send the hotel minibus out within a few minutes. It’s about a 15 minute drive so there will be a short wait. But this operates at any time of day or night.
There also a very good pizza restaurant attached to the hotel.
The hotel is clean and comfortable and set in lush gardens.
The lady checking us in was very friendly and helpful. She was also very kind to let us check into our room early. She also made sure to show us the room and made sure that everything was clean and working well inside. The room was also a great size and it included a full kitchen with appliances. That was a nice bonus. There is also an excellent local restaurant right across the street from the hotel, which was very convenient.
We got picked up from the airport and they also transferred us the next day to our rental car pickup location - so kind! The hotel has it's own restaurant where we experienced the Costa Rican breakfast for the first time. Near the hotel we also managed to get our CR sim card and some groceries so it was a perfect short stay to start our trip!
We liked the on-site restaurant which is in a separate building in a large open air space. The staff communicated with us everyday to ask about our dining preferences for the next meal. For us, the hotel was just a convenient overnighter near the airport, but we could have stayed here comfortably for much longer.
Rachel the receptionist was just wonderful and the rooms were large and very well cleaned. In terms of proximity to the airport the hotel works - a short taxi ride. The hotel has a lovely pool and everything it needs to be a really great choice - yet I wouldn't choose it a second time.
The absolute perfect airport hotel experience. We met an American family who own a property in Costa Rica and they stay here every time they come (twice a year). GREAT restaurant, the free shuttle is a great service and staff are ON IT. Next time we come we will stay here for sure…
Comfortable room. Roomy, free shuttle to and from the airport. Connected to the hotel is a great restaurant, and bakery and bar. Excellent food and service and open late. Breakfast at the restaurant was included and was good. Staff is friendly. I probably will return.
The hotel is close to the airport. It has unlimited water and coffee at the reception. The staff is kind and helpful. I would suggestion learning some Spanish words here. The private room is quite big and has everything you may need as well as ventilation.
Very good option to stay near the airport. They have an excellent free shuttle which picks you up and returns you to the airport. The hotel has good facilities, a nice pool and a lovely breakfast is included.
This is an exquisite hotel, nice grounds, excellent restaurant...near the airport, but way better than your usual airport chain hotel. I will definitely book here on my next trip in and out of San Jose.
Great one night stay hotel. Close to the airport. Clean room, good breakfast, and the most important thing is free shuttle. The shuttle even drove us to the car rental in the morning. Thank you for that!
I arrived in the late afternoon and took dinner at the hotel. What I enjoyed most was Rachel practicing English with me while I practiced Spanish. Very courteous and pleasant young lady.
Perfect hotel for flying in/out of San Jose , especially arriving late at night as they offer free airport shuttle. Staff were helpful, beds were comfy and breakfast was excellent.
Loved it - could’ve stayed longer :-) Such a great hotel with lovely staff, incredibly spacious rooms and perfect location for an overnight stay ahead of an AM flight!
