The rooms was extremely spacious and comfortable.
I am unsure if there were coffee pods for the coffee machine , this may be something to improve on.

My stay was amazing!
From the airport shuttle, to the property with a fantastic view over the city, nice rooms/interieur, great breakfast menu to choose from to the super friendly and helpful staff.
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 property is an older property that has been well taken care of. It is beautiful with all the flowers and foliage. the breakfast was really excellent. I was looking for a hotel airport that wasn’t a United States brand. I loved that this hotel was perfect for my first night in Costa Rica. All the employees were so kind and welcoming. For those who like a nice bar this hotel has one, and the bar food was outstanding! They even have their own shuttle.
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.
We liked the on-site restaurant which is in a separate building in a large open air space. The staff communicated with us everyday to ask about our dining preferences for the next meal. For us, the hotel was just a convenient overnighter near the airport, but we could have stayed here comfortably for much longer.
The staff are extremely professional. Attentive and hospitable. Reached out to us about needs for shuttle service to and from the hotel. Set up our COVID testing to be performed in our room right after we arrived at the hotel.
The room was very nice, tropical and the beds were very clean and comfortable.
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 absolute perfect airport hotel experience. We met an American family who own a property in Costa Rica and they stay here every time they come (twice a year). GREAT restaurant, the free shuttle is a great service and staff are ON IT. Next time we come we will stay here for sure…
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.
Very kind staff. The hotel is very close to the airport and they have a free shuttle service which is very convenient. We had to leave earlier than breakfast time and they gave me coffee and fruit to go which was nice. Rooms are simple but clean.
I arrived in the late afternoon and took dinner at the hotel. What I enjoyed most was Rachel practicing English with me while I practiced Spanish. Very courteous and pleasant young lady.
...The food, delicious
The staff, very friendly and helpful
The manager, a wee 💎 gem....couldn't have been more helpful.
The hotel was spotless, fresh, had everything I needed
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!
Great hotel and perfect for a stopover before the airport! Lovely staff, the shuttle to the airport was great and the restaurant attached to the hotel had great food.
The grounds of the hotel are beautiful, relaxing and inviting. I only wish I'd had more time to visit! The attached restaurant is also beautiful. Try the fig cake!
This hotel is a delightful alternative to the chain hotels near the airport, with local character and a good restaurant. The free shuttle is a big plus.
