Offering an outdoor pool, gardens, a restaurant and snack bar, the Trapp Family Country Inn is just a 5-minute drive from Juan Santamaría International Airport. This property has laundry and luggage storage services.

Only 5 min drive from the airport yet this place is so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees. Our room was on the ground floor with a small terrace overlooking the gardens/pool. A good size with great shower and continuous hot water/pressure. Beds were extremely comfortable. The pool was a good size with some beds and seating areas to relax in the sun. The veranda and open restaurant areas both overlook the gardens. We opted for the evening meal and breakfast - both were tasty and value for money. The owner very kindly arranged a birthday surprise for my friend at breakfast after a request - thank you again! A perfect way to relax before a long flight home. Would recommend if flying in/out of San Jose.

    I only stayed here for 1 night but this hotel is just what I expected. Great location, near to the airport although further from the city centre. I thought the included standard breakfast was incredible. Authentic and made with care. Rooms were clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a great start to my visit to Costa Rica!

    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 booked this hotel for a stay before an early morning flight out of SJO. We were pleasantly surprised with the services and hotel. Staff was super friendly and helpful. They provided us a 3:30AM airport shuttle with breakfast and coffee. The hotel restuarant was decent and affordable. The location is walkable to some shopping areas. Parking is secure and guarded.

    Very nice hotel close to the airport, ideal location if you arrive late at SJO or travel early. The staff is lovely, there is a free shuttle which is a huge advantage and all you need on the spot. Swimming pool, restaurant and other places where you can eat in the neighborhood. Rooms are spacious and spot clean.

    I liked the ease of getting to the location after a long day of international travel, it was ideally located close to the airport without any issues of noise. Also it is located in a relatively safe area, has a beautiful restaurant and I was able to spend some time relaxing by the poolside. The reception staff were very nice and enjoyed trying to speak with me in English to make me feel more comfortable.
