Top Uruca Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay, is clean and bigger than expected. The staff is kind and really nice people."

Hotel Mango

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Mango is the perfect choice if you are arriving or leaving from Costa Rica and need an affordable place to stay. The rooms are basic but exceptionally clean and quite comfortable. The pool and courtyard garden are charming. The breakfast is very good. The restaurant food is fairly good and is very reasonably priced. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. It’s so close to the airport you could walk if you wanted, but they do have a shuttle to the airport every hour. This hotel is always my first choice when traveling to and from CR."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Staffs were welcoming, housekeeping excellence, breakfast included love that and food was great will give it a 10. Hotel was close to the mall, Walmart and restaurants. Only thing I didn’t like about San Jose is that food in San Jose is expensive. Other than that everything was absolutely amazing"

Holiday Inn San Jose La Sabana by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nos hospedamos 3 noches en una habitación estándar con camas dobles y nos fue muy bien. Si les gusta tener mucho espacio en la cama, recomendaría buscar una habitación con camas queen, pero de todos modos es un buen espacio. El cuarto limpio y cómodo. Tiene 2 camas, un sofá, mesa y silla, televisor, baño espacioso con ducha. Vista preciosa por la ventana. Mi única crítica es que no cuenta con nevera. Lo que necesitamos durante nuestra estadía solo tuvimos que llamar a recepción y nos atendieron rápido y con mucha amabilidad. Cuentan con desayuno buffet (pastries, pan, frutas, jamón y quesos fríos, huevo revuelto y proteínas que varían diariamente) y estación de omelette con cargo adicional de $20 USD. El área de piscina se comparte con el hotel de al lado, pero fue un espacio limpio y tranquilo siempre que pasé por el área. Amplio estacionamiento. Hotel es bastante céntrico, en un área tranquila. No tuvimos problemas de ruido por huéspedes ni el ambiente afuera. Recomendado!"
