Top Zarcero Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"We usually stay at this Holiday Inn because of the value and the breakfast. This time, the breakfast was not very good. There weren't as many choices and the quality has gone down. The room was clean and the staff is always helpful."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and great proximity to airport"

Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Todo muy bien! Gracias por la gentileza y atenciones."

Xandari Resort And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente experiencia!"

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."

Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Farm and Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Not to be missed!!! We hope to return!"

Villa San Ignacio

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at a unique and quiet location!"

Residence Inn By Marriott San Jose Alajuela El Coyol

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fantastic"

The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The Retreat Costa Rica is a dream—it’s everything I expected and so much more. This beautiful retreat is secluded, peaceful, and truly feels like a place to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself. The food is amazing, the people are wonderful, and there are so many opportunities to nourish both body and soul. They offer a variety of yoga classes, sound healing, hikes, and advanced treatments and therapies. Because this is a very small resort, it has a wonderfully intimate, family like atmosphere. The staff is absolutely incredible, warm, caring, and genuinely attentive. Shout out to Edmond & Lisbeth for the warm reception and deep conversations, to Carlos that made sure everyone is training their most important muscle: your smile 😊 and to all the wonderful staff members serving the nourishing meals to name a few: Andres, Juan, Karina, Pablo!! I’m leaving feeling grateful, renewed, and already wishing I could come back soon. ❤️🌴"
