9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,010 reviews)
We had the pleasure of staying at Studio Hotel Boutique during our vacation in Costa Rica, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I especially loved the on-site restaurant; the food was not only incredible but also reasonably priced. The complimentary parking was another great convenience. While the hotel isn’t located in a walkable tourist area, it’s very well situated near excellent restaurants and attractions like the Animal Sanctuary, which we really enjoyed visiting. Overall, I highly recommend Studio Hotel Boutique—you won’t regret your stay!

Finca Rosa Blanca is magical! A serene escape with a truly unique design—think Gaudí meets Costa Rica. The coffee is top-notch, the location is peaceful, and the whole place has so much charm. Highly recommend for a quiet, beautiful stay.
