Very nice and beautiful hotel, built with high-quality materials and a great design. However, my biggest disappointment was that a 5-star hotel did not provide complimentary water in the room, instead selling it for $4.50 per bottle. This is especially surprising in Costa Rica, considering that the room costs over $1000 per night.
It feels quite disappointing and even greedy that they are unwilling to meet basic international standards of service. In my opinion, the management should take inspiration from hotels in Asia and the Middle East, where guest service is often much more thoughtful and complete.
I felt that instead of providing small essentials as part of the service, they were trying to charge extra for everything, which negatively affected the overall experience.
We arrived to find a beautiful hotel
In a lush setting with the most beautiful foliage with tropical birds. The grounds were a paradise. Every morning we were serenaded with the songs of all the different bird species. The restaurant was an excellent Italian restaurant that we would recommend to anyone. The staff was always happy to provide any assistance with a smile.
The pool was situated on 4th floor and was freezing cold very windy weather and no sun in the afternoon. The sun loungers were very flimsy in the wind and I trapped my finger in a lounger. Very painful. The receptionist was not very friendly but the shuttle driver was lovely
The location is excellent for those travelling from the airport in San Jose. The service of the shuttle is almost continuous, and the driver is helpful and courteous. They have laundry facilities available which is a big plus for those with further travel plans. It is not the cheapest option close to the airport, but the rooms are very nice. We did not get to enjoy the breakfast, but for lunch and dinner, there is a Denny's just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. Would definitely use again and recommend.
Als je laat aankomt op de luchthaven van San Jose en 's ochtends een vroege vlucht hebt, zou ik hier zonder twijfel weer verblijven. De gratis pendeldienst die elke 30 minuten rijdt is zo handig en de locatie is uitstekend met een Walmart aan de overkant van de straat voor uw last-minute benodigdheden. Het personeel is supervriendelijk, het bed is comfortabel en de kamers zijn schoon. De douchedruk is echter vrij laag, maar verder kan ik niets bedenken. Rekening houdend met de tijd van het jaar kostte de kamer meer dan ik wilde uitgeven, maar gezien het algehele gemak en de ervaring was het de moeite waard en ik kijk ernaar uit om hier weer te verblijven als ik vanuit San José vlieg.

My family and I arrived at Casa Del Rio on November 26. We spent 2 nights here. We are a party of 6 and booked three rooms under two separate reservations. My reservation was through Trip.com and confirmed on Nov 19.
This boutique hotel sprawls across a large, beautifully maintained property. The individual cabana-type rooms are spread out across the property. So, when I booked my reservation, I requested that my room be as close as possible to my family’s two rooms. I also messaged the property on WhatsApp and requested that my room be adjacent to, or as close as possible to, my family’s rooms. On Nov 20, I received a message: «If the rooms are the same category, we can try to accommodate you. I replied, «Yes, all three rooms are the same category (a king bed and twin)». I also received an email from the hotel (hotelboutiqueca.4rr68r2bkw630rt@service.trip.com) and sent the same request for our three rooms to be adjacent to each other.
When we arrived, two rooms on the same reservation were adjacent to each other, but my room was far away in a completely different location. I asked for assistance to modify this, and the receptionist told me «not possible ». She asked to see the emails to confirm that I had sent requests, but she did not attempt to assist. She could have asked for assistance by checking with her superior, but she did nothing.
This was poor service. The refusal to make any effort to assist was blatant and hugely disappointing. The evenings were pouring rain, and we hoped to gather as a family, but we didn’t because we were located so far apart.
Aside from this one issue, the boutique hotel is lovely. The rooms are huge and spacious, tastefully decorated with a light color palette, and feature extremely comfortable beds with very nice bedding (making for a fantastic night’s rest after an active hiking day in Fortuna). The rooms had a spacious bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a large-screen television, a good-sized closet, a safe, and an attached balcony. The entire room was immaculately clean.
The entire Boutique Hotel is beautifully maintained and feels very secure (gates and a large wall surround the property). However, I didn’t see a security guard at night. The property needs a little more lighting on its walking paths for those walking to the pool, spa, or restaurant, or meeting family/friends after 6pm (it’s very dark).
The pool was enjoyed by our 13, 17, and 18-year-olds. The other three adults enjoyed massages at the hotel spa (at least I did - Michelle was great. Be sure to request a therapeutic, gentle massage).
The breakfast (included with the room) was absolutely delicious and very filling. We opted for the local-style breakfast (3 options: American, breakfast sandwich, or local). We were served fresh juice & fruit, warm/freshly baked pastries, a delicious main course (eggs, rice and beans, sausage, plantain, etc.), followed by coffee and tea. Everything was scrumptious. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, was impeccably clean, and offered gracious, kind, and attentive service.
It would be nice if this property included access to a washer and dryer because, in the rainforest, clothing becomes damp… it would be lovely to be able to clean or at least dry some clothing quickly.
Undeniably, this is a relaxing, extremely comfortable, immaculately clean, safe, and beautiful Boutique hotel. It doesn’t have direct access to hot springs (a must-do in Fortuna), but this hotel offers lovely, high-quality accommodations. It’s suitable for families and groups (if/when they accommodate adjacent rooms) and honeymooners.
If you have a special request, then call ahead and speak with someone on the property and confirm before you arrive. With the exception of the first staff member I encountered on the property, every other member of the hotel staff was welcoming, kind, gracious, and very helpful.

我我是帅冯 Generally speaking, it is a price for one point, so there is nothing to spit in such a high price. Its scenery, service, all hardware and software are worthy of its price. If you do not consider economic factors, this hotel must be the first choice. You must not be disappointed.

GGuest UserWe found the shuttle from the airport to the hotel quite easily :) Once at the hotel, check-in was seamless and the staff were kind. The room was spacious and clean. We found the restaurant downstairs to have really delicious food (our supper and next day day breakfast buffet were amazing). We would highly recommend this hotel to other travellers!
GGuest UserEverything is average. I live in a quadruple room, the mattress is not very comfortable. One or two nights can be tolerated. Service is average. Facilities are average. It can also be said that it is not bad or not.
VVerified MemberThe staff were all great, especially all the restaurant staff. I especially appreciated the hotel making special arrangements to celebrate my birthday. However, some of the shortfalls included the very slow and inconsistent WIFI at our building (500), the bathroom door couldn’t be kept closed, and the in room jacuzzi never got hot. But on the positive note, the in room AC was very good, the room, bathroom and shower were spacious and had hot water.
P.S. I was underwhelmed by my undercooked tomahawk during dinner.
GGuest UserExcellent location and facilities. Convenient shuttle service and inclusive breakfast.
This is the cleanest Hampton by Hilton I have so far stayed at!
One thing to consider in lactose and gluten free options for a breakfast, other than that, I have absolutely enjoyed my stay and will be back again and again!
GGuest UserWe booked this due to the Hilton reputation and for the pool and overall it was a good hotel in a good location. Free shuttle always useful and rooms were clean and to a good standard.
Unfortunately the pool was freezing cold - we asked at check in whether it was heated and were told it was. It was so disappointing, because it was impossible to enjoy a swim. A real shame.
ZZhangdingwen TomCourtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela
The hotel is very conveniently located very close to San Jose Airport, with free airport shuttle bus and very friendly to passengers on connecting or morning and evening flights. The room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and the soundproofing was good. The breakfast is rich in variety, fresh fruit, hot food and coffee options, the overall experience exceeds expectations, it is recommended.
GGuest UserAbsolutely loved this place. The grounds were beautiful and you felt like you were really in the middle of the jungle, but with all your creature comforts. Breakfast each morning was great, with a good choice of local and western options. Would definitely stay again.
