4. Rancho Rio Perlas Resort & Spa

Dulce Nombre

"The front desk did not have our reservation and we waited outside a locked gate in a rainstorm for about 10 min. The reception was not warm. We felt like an inconvenience. Even though they have a restaurant it was closed until breakfast. They offered to drive us to town (far away) for dinner. They did not have enough seats in the vehicle for our group so we stayed in and skipped dinner. I think for young locals it’s a great place for family with thermal pools, lake, river and nature. For older...

Top San Cristóbal Hotel Reviews

Barceló San José

8/10 Good

"El desayuno no es de buena calidad, pocas opciones y no muy buena calidad"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Evrything was great clean neat up to date and the breakfast was very good, staff is also very helpfull and friendly"

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Staff Clean Room, Parking"

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great but the neighborhood was a bit gritty. Not great for an evening stroll."

Hilton San Jose La Sabana

10/10 Excellent

"Location is stunning in front of the National Stadium. We came over from the UK for an Iron Maiden concert. Rooms very nice, comfortable and clean. Lovely pool at the top of the hotel. Bar prices very expensive."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room with friendly and wonderful staff. The restaurant in the hotel was pricey but the food was amazing. Location is in a busy area but there’s lots to do all in walking distance. Also There’s nowhere to park, you can only do valet which is just a one-time payment of $28 for your whole stay."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to everything in a safe area. The friendly staff was helpful with any questions or concerns."
