Top San José Hotel Reviews

Hotel Belmar, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful location for a relaxing stay. Food was excellent, albeit a slightly limited menu. Go just before 5:30pm and you get the lunch menu, which is also excellent."

Lost Iguana Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The stay here was amazing. It was like everything I ever dreamed it could be. The staff was insanely friendly and the food was really good. It felt like I was in a movie. Beautiful rooms and sights. Great list of activities for someone who didn’t have a car. And just great amenities in general. Would come back any day of the week."

Chateau Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"We had the pleasure of staying at Chateau Arenal for a week and everything was perfect. The staff were so helpful and kind throughout the entire stay. Everyone we interacted with was very sweet. Our room had an amazing view of the volcano and lake. The room had an empty mini fridge, a coffee maker with some mugs and cups. The bathroom had soap and shower gel if you need and they are not stingy with the towels. The daily cleaning services were excellent and considering we're in such a tropical country and in the rainforest and we rarely ever had a bug in the room. Some things to note about breakfast though are there is only one typical breakfast option and if you'd like there are other options to purchase. Down the hill from the hotel there is a little bakery, market and restaurant though if you want anything else so you're not restricted. The hotel has excursions for purchase and free goat milking and feeding at certain times that they have posted in the lobby. The pool and hot tub are clean with an amazing view as well."

Hotel con Corazón Monteverde

10/10 Excellent

"Un coup de cœur dès notre arrivée! Tout nous a plu au Con Corazón : le cadre magnifique à flanc de montagne, la déco épurée et colorée, la chambre impeccable et confortable, les petites attentions… Et le déjeuner, délicieux et copieux : un vrai 10/10! Mais ce sont surtout les gens qui ont rendu notre séjour si agréable. Merci à Rachell pour l’organisation de nos sorties et à Douglas pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. On s’est sentis tellement bien accueillis. Savoir que notre séjour contribue aussi à l’éducation des jeunes de la communauté nous fait aimer cet endroit encore davantage. Un hôtel qui porte vraiment bien son nom. On le recommande de tout cœur! « Enjoy today, care for tomorrow. » Pura vida! Anne et Luc, Montréal (Québec)"
