This place was a gem. There were minor things in need of touch ups due to the age of the hotel which is understandable but it honestly just added to the beauty. It was private and quiet and we felt like we were in a palace. The rooms were beautiful, the hotel had so much charm and the little added touches they included for us were such a treat. Possibly my favorite hotel we stayed at.

I frequently stop in San Jose on my way to Guanacaste. I always stay at Alta Las Palomas! Great views, delicious breakfast and dinner. Staff is always smiling and happy to help. Next time I hope to try the outdoor pool :D

If I could review them with zero stars I would. The customer service is the worst we have encountered in our multiple trips to Costa Rica. Spare yourself the trouble and spend your money at a good place that values the essence of the Pura Vida lifestyle because this place definitely leaves much to be desired.

We found this beautiful property and it was above and beyond our expectations. It was absolutely stunning. From the charming unique rooms, the stunning views, colorful plants/flowers, amazing dining food/drinks. Rooms were quiet, clean and very comfortable. We were on the 1st floor so we didn't get a view of the sunset but we were just as happy to be able to walk out of our patio and visit the pool/sitting area and go to breakfast and dinner at the restaurant onsite. We will definitely be back!

Property nice and quaint / needs up dating and the grounds could be kept better. Great for relaxing. Excursions are overpriced when booking at hotel. Suggest booking directly for excursions. Beware of the water drought, we woke up one morning to drizzle water usage with no notice from staff

Having never visited San Jose, we found this property and it caught our eye. It’s up in the hills and the view of the surrounding are was beautiful. It was nice having a balcony to enjoy breakfast and just relax while recalling the previous days adventures and planning the next.

I liked its unique boutique style. I appreciated the balcony but the balcony doors do not block out much sound and doors from another room were rattling all night. Fortunately I slept with earplugs, otherwise it would’ve been a problem.

Truly a gem of a hotel. Incomparable views and wonderful staff that went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. A little off the beaten path but very relaxing. Restaurant was delightful and staff was very helpful in arranging tours of the area.
