The owners are amazing! Picked me up in the pouring rain and met the car with an umbrella, allowed me to fill out the check in paperwork the next morning. Exceptionally friendly and kind! As others have said, this is right by the airport so very convenient but do not expect it to be quiet during flight hours.

Our host was lovely, very helpful and welcoming. We stayed here for our first night and our last night as it is very close to the airport. We enjoyed our breakfast cooked to order. We had to leave very early in the morning on the last day and our host arranged for a taxi to pick us up at no cost to us. The room was fine, clean with comfy beds and there was a small kitchenette. You could sit outside where there is a nice garden. The location is quite noisy though as it is by a busy road and very close to the airport - a pro and a con! I would stay here again. It is convenient and the price is reasonable. For contacting the host to arrange for the shuttle make sure you have the What’s App number.

I think it's a great place if you're flying out from the airport the next day, given how close it is. However, note that it's under one of the flight paths so you'll occasionally hear the flights landing. Could bother very light sleepers. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the room was surprisingly very nice. It's a great value. Other important note: The hotel is a small villa-style building and completely surrounded by a large outer wall with locked gate. This helped us feel more secure. However, if you're driving and not used to the area, note that the four-lane street it's on (2 in each direction) is very busy during rush hour and the only way to drive into the hotel is to stop your car directly on the street during traffic, get out and ring the camera to let them open the gate for you. I wasn't used to this stopping right on a busy street, but apparently that's the way it's done here. There's no entrance or spot to pull off to the side so you can check your map or anything. Just stop cold right there on the street.

We loved our 2 night stay here. The best thing about it was the host, Flor, and her staff. The breakfast that was included was one of the best of the trip. She also had a mini-fridge up front you could grab a drink for a reasonable cost. Included was also a taxi trip to the airport at 4am which she arranged for us. The pool was clean and refreshing. The bed was a queen and very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit aged but functional. There was a fully equipped kitchen. There wasn't AC but the area had a good breeze and we were actually a bit cool the second night we slept here. Of note, this place and placed directly in line with the SJO runway so some very loud planes overhead. There was thankfully few overnight. The road in front is also quite busy so driving (unless familiar with SJ city driving) was a bit nerve-wracking at times.

Charming start to Costa Rica vacation.
We were looking for a place convenient to the airport to start our Costa Rica vacation. This is not a fancy place, but it was close to the airport, gated entrance, had an airport shuttle, a kitchen, a safe in the room, a lovely little pool, made to order breakfast, and our hostess Flor Cordero was just marvelous. Plus they allowed us to leave our bulk luggage while we spent a few days at Tortoguero National Park until we came back to start our next leg if the vacation.

A wonderful oasis near the airport. Host Peter and his wife, as well as the waitress were delightful, informative, And friendly. There were quite a few hummingbirds enjoying their gardens. Please note that there is a bell you can ring by the front gate in case you get there after 10 o’clock, which is when their office generally closes. Local phone service is essential here, and is certainly helpful to touch base with your hosts. A very nice stay.

Perfect airport hotel.
What a perfect little hotel and room- like a small apartment. Very comfortable bed, a kitchen and shower. It’s perfect to get to or from the airport. The taxi ride to the airport was included. This is just a wonderful hotel and the proprietress is a friendly and helpful as anyone I’ve met. There are only four rooms so it’s very quiet and safe. I’d recommend this place to anyone and I’ll certainly return again when we come back.

Wonderful and convenient stay near the airport.
Wonderful, cute little hotel close to the airport. Arrived fairly late, so needed a place to stay for one night before taking the shuttle the next morning (which was a couple minute walk away). The owners sent a shuttle to pick us up from the airport, and when we arrived, the owner ran out with an umbrella for us and let us use it to walk to dinner across the street. She was sooooo nice and friendly! When we woke up, they made breakfast for us a 7am, so we could make our shuttle on time. If I ever return to CR, this will be my go-to stop to and from the airport!
