9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1,002 reviews)
"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Desamparados?
The best area to stay in Desamparados is generally within the central district itself, particularly near the main park, Parque Central de Desamparados.

This central area offers the most convenience for visitors. It's where you'll find the most shops, restaurants, and local services. The area around Calle Central and Avenida 2 is particularly active, with a good selection of eateries and businesses. It's a practical base for exploring the town on foot.

For families, staying close to the Parque Central provides easy access to green space for children to play and is usually near local amenities like bakeries and small grocery stores. The park often hosts community events, offering a glimpse into local life.

Travellers looking for a more residential and quiet experience might consider areas slightly outside the immediate town centre but still within Desamparados, such as parts of San Rafael Abajo. These areas tend to have more residential properties and offer a peaceful retreat while still being a short drive from the main town's facilities.
When is the best time to go to Desamparados?
The best time to visit Desamparados is during the dry season, which runs from December to April, offering the most pleasant weather for exploring.

During these months, you'll experience ample sunshine and lower humidity, making outdoor activities and day trips much more enjoyable. This period is ideal for those planning to explore the Central Valley's coffee plantations or visit nearby national parks without the interruption of daily heavy rains.

For travellers who prefer a more relaxed pace and don't mind occasional showers, the shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While there's a higher chance of rain, you'll find fewer crowds and lush green landscapes, which can be particularly appealing for couples seeking a tranquil escape.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
