Hotel Aeropuerto

The hotel met our expectations and was as described. The shuttle from the airport worked well. The breakfast was filling and convenient having just arrived in the country. They had a pack 'n play for our baby to sleep in. The pool was fun and warm enough in March. This hotel was great for our first and last nights in Costa Rica. Note there is an unrelated restaurant brewery in the same complex where we were able to have dinner on our last night - this was convenient as well (though the food was only so-so, beers were great).

This is a delightful little hotel tucked into a completely unexpected location. It’s in a very modest neighborhood that you wind through until you’re sure you’re lost, and then there’s a charming little oasis. The room was everything you need for an overnight near the airport. Staff was friendly and efficient. Our airport shuttle was waiting for us (early, even!) when we came down at 4:20 a.m. it took about 10 minutes to get to the airport. Needless to say, we were too early for breakfast, so we can’t comment on that. The attached restaurant and brewery were very nice. We didn’t have a meal, but the menu looked good. It was a pleasant and comfortable place for a drink.

Love this place! It's got a post-colonial/Graham Greene/Early Bond vibe going on. The kind of place where the CIA would meet shady local informants to do deals but in very cool surroundings. It's totally incongruous as well, off what is essentially a loud, busy ring road there's this oasis of calm and cool. Think wood paneling, low lighting with a scattering of objects d'art around and maybe a martini or two and you've got the vibe. Awesome place and would 100% recommend.

Very convenient to San Jose Int’l airport but quiet for sleeping. Neighborhood is not inspiring but the hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped so it’s a little oasis. Rooms have a small safe, two large beds, AC, TV and table w/ chairs. Bed is comfortable. Wifi was good for us. If you arrive after 9:00 p.m. the restaurant might be closed/closing (we were still able to get food to go which we ate in our room). Breakfast is typical: eggs, beans/rice, fruit, bread. Coffee was good (also typical for Costa Rica). We went to Bahia Drake/Corcovado and had luggage limits; we were able to leave some at the hotel until our return for continuing elsewhere in the country. Staff speak English well enough to manage without Spanish.

I checked in at 2 PM and only stayed overnight but the room was comfortable and the bar had a lounge area where I could comfortably have a craft beer (made on site). The restaurant service was excellent and the meal was superb. The airport shuttle service was a 6 minute drive provided at 4 AM. The site was worth the walk around. A park like setting with one of the biggest mango trees I have seen. The perfect place to begin or end your Cost Rica adventure.
