Top hotels in Carmen
Hotel el Tucan Alajuela
The staff was very kind and courteous. It is a family run business as are many smaller hotels in Costa Rica. We felt safe and secure. It was a very basic room , but it was clean and comfortable. Again, the staff was the best.

Barceló San José
The hotel is really old. The carpet in our room was constantly moist and the shampoo amenities would fall down.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
Precio razonable por lo que ofrece el hotel. Las instalaciones tienen ya un cierto número de años, pero están bien mantenidas en su mayoría. Los cuartos son cómodos, espaciosos. En mis tres últimas estadías en tres diferentes cuartos, la cafetera sencillamente no funcionaba.
