Excellent location for arriving late after a transatlantic flight. A lot of the car hire offices are actually next door which makes it doubly convenient.

A change of plans brought us back to the hotel for another night and we were not disappointed. The interior is stunning, staff were lovely and the room was clean and comfortable. Food was very reasonably priced and tasty.
Cute little town near the airport. Probably not a destination, but, if you have a night to kill before flying out, it's fine. Otherwise, there isn't anything I know of to draw visitors. Couple cute restaurants on the main street. Felt safe walking around after dark.

We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do.
We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do. The church in the center of town was welcoming, and there are a lot of restaurants with good food and service. The bussing to other areas (San Jose and Heredia) is well marked and has an appropriate schedule. Plus, the area felt safe to walk after sunset. Because of its convivence, we extended our hotel stay to stay in the area, and only bussed to San Jose for the day.

For us La Rivera is a take off and arrival point, so the easy airport access is important. It is an easy walk to a phone store or Pali supermarket for some basics, and the local pista, church and park give you a safe introduction to Costa Rica. There is not much else to do in the immediate area.
This hotel was a gem! The photos did not do it justice. We booked it for our last night in Costa Rica and enjoyed it greatly. The surroundings and decor were tasteful. My husband also enjoyed a dip in the pool.
A big thank you to the staff members as they were exceptionally nice and helpful - I don't like coriander and the staff members did everything to make sure I would have no coriander in my food. If we go back to Costa Rica we will book a longer stay in this hotel as they also organise wildlife trips.
The lady checking us in was very friendly and helpful. She was also very kind to let us check into our room early. She also made sure to show us the room and made sure that everything was clean and working well inside. The room was also a great size and it included a full kitchen with appliances. That was a nice bonus. There is also an excellent local restaurant right across the street from the hotel, which was very convenient.
Had to leave at 03.00 so no breakfast, but porter made us a coffee whilst we waited for taxi. The hotel had an old-world feel - was spacious and the room was comfortable and clean. There was a decent-sized pool which we didn't have time to use. We had dinner almost immediately after arrival which was tasty and plentiful. The staff were friendly and obliging.
Rachel the receptionist was just wonderful and the rooms were large and very well cleaned. In terms of proximity to the airport the hotel works - a short taxi ride. The hotel has a lovely pool and everything it needs to be a really great choice - yet I wouldn't choose it a second time.
The beds are comfortable, and the hotel is handy to the airport with a few shuttle. The attached restaurant has excellent Italian food as well as a deli where you can take charcuterie or cakes to go. The staff are friendly and helpful. We didn't use it but there was a nice looking pool.
It is relatively close to the airoport (around 10 minutes by transfer - hotel offers a transfer van free of charge). THe rooms are quite big. THere is a restaurant in the hotel which has good dishes, cold beer. Staff at recpation desk and van driver are nice.
The hotel is close to the airport. It has unlimited water and coffee at the reception. The staff is kind and helpful. I would suggestion learning some Spanish words here. The private room is quite big and has everything you may need as well as ventilation.
The staff is incredibly friendly and polite.
The service is excellent.
All overall, it's a nice place to stay, a cute hotel very near to the airport.
They have a shuttle, and the drivers are very gentle and friendly.
I will book again
The hotel is simple but very comfortable and the location is great for the airport. The staff helped us return our hire car and the airport transfer worked well. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The onsite restaurant is great!
The hotel is close to the airport and also has a restaurant next to it, therefore breakfast or any meal for that matter. The parking was great and staff also very nice. Pool looked pretty cool, did not get a chance to try it.
Very good option to stay near the airport. They have an excellent free shuttle which picks you up and returns you to the airport. The hotel has good facilities, a nice pool and a lovely breakfast is included.
The staff were great, friendly and helpful.
they allowed us to leave our luggage free of charge at the hotel whilst we flew to Tortugeuro for a couple of nights. Restaurant is good and handy.

Location and shoutle from aiport at 2 am and next day to budget for pick up rental car
Our son with his family used same hotel in February 2023 . Recommend to us. Very happy
The staff, grounds and restaurant of the hotel is wonderful. As is the proximity to the airport. Unfortunately, we found the bedrooms and hallways stuffy and dated a little bit.
Loved it - could’ve stayed longer :-) Such a great hotel with lovely staff, incredibly spacious rooms and perfect location for an overnight stay ahead of an AM flight!
