"Nice hotel in a good spot in Barrio Escalante. It was nice to have our own apartment with a kitchen. Room was clean and the staff was friendly. I could tell that booking through Expedia was an extra hurdle for them, because we didn't get standard messages like our room door code or the wifi details, those appeared to be arranged some other way which was not known to me. It's well worth the money, but maybe book on a different platform."

Loved the place : super comfortable, very private yet close enough to know the host is there when you need them. Steve and his helper rescued us from a very daring car trouble for which we were so grateful. We enjoyed the tranquility and spectacular views, jacuzzi on the huge terrace was awesome. We will go back next year."

"Christina and her staff took such good care of us from the day we arrived till our last moments there! The home is even more beautiful than the pictures and the views are breathtaking! The food was absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the best vacation experiences I’ve had! I love Costa Rica and will definitely return to Casa Britto! Pura Vida!!"

"Bill and Rosalee are lovely hosts! Very helpful and welcoming.We had a very relaxing stay. The connection with the local culture and foods was top-notch. Warm, engaging, friendly and helpful! Local artist Martine has some amazing art pieces.We ate at Chumis and could not have felt more welcomed by Mirta, the proprietor. Lots of joy and love! Great Tacos Camarrones at Dalis as well. A most needed getaway!"

"This was just an absolute pleasure to stay at this place. The amenities were great and everything was perfect. From beginning to the end the communication was great. Whatsapp keeps the communication great and makes your stay private. Text them just about anything you want and it is done. You can also order Uber eats and get grocerys or food delivered. Breakfast is fabulous as you can see in the pictures. As far as amenities you have about everything you want. You have Netflix and Alexa...

"I arrived early on a Tuesday after flight delays. The place was nice- a lot of construction going on- but nice. Pool looked like it needed a shock but it’s not yet hot enough. Walked into town and enjoyed good food at La casa de Layla. The host was nice. I missed breakfast because I was sleeping soundly. Comfy spot to get adjusted to Tico life. "

Recent reviews of San Cristóbal properties

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel itself was wonderful, the surrounding area esthetics, not so good. You're right in front of the drop off/pick up bus parking for what seems to be the whole market area workers, so you will hear that commotion pretty much all day and night if you decide to stay in your room (we didn't). Hotel is perfectly situated to all the major attractions to see in San Jose, which won't take long. The staff was magnificent. "

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

5/5 Excellent

"Service 10/10. Traveling as a solo female I was greeted with hospitality, smiles, and nothing but making sure I was enjoying my time. Different restaurants which is perfect if you like to explore menus. Taxi service to wherever you like arranged from the hotel. Rooms are simple, clean, air conditioned but the property is where this resort shines. 2 pools one cold and one hot, hot tubs, golf course, walkways and so much history!"

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

5/5 Excellent

"Jason at the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay truly wonderful. During a very difficult time—our son required emergency surgery at nearby Clínica Bíblica—Jason showed incredible kindness and support. He anticipated our needs, accommodated every request with genuine care, and consistently checked in to ask how our son was doing. I sincerely hope Gran Hotel recognizes what an exceptional team member they have in him. Beyond Jason, the porters and concierge staff were also excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional. The food at the hotel was very good, with the brunch standing out as a highlight. The location is ideal—within walking distance to several museums and just across the street from the National Theatre. All in all, a fantastic hotel in a prime location. You really can’t go wrong here. And if you have the chance, be sure to ask for Jason."
