Terrazas de Golf Boutique Hotel offers direct access to Cariari Golf Course and transportation to Juan Santamaría International Airport, which is 5 km away. It offers free WiFi, massage, free parking and 24-hour reception. Cecelia, her staff and her children Irene and Roberto went above and beyond on my stay. I felt cared for like an intimate family member. Classical music playing in the morning and her staff providing food to the birds and squirrels each morning from the breakfast view made me feel like I was in a storybook.

The Fleur de Lys’ individually decorated rooms feature local art work. They have cable TV, free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom. I love the location being 500 steps from my favorite restaurant. Also the whole vibe of the place is excellent with it being a former house.

Featuring a rooftop swimming pool, Studio Hotel offers rooms with free high-speed WiFi and views of the surrounding Central Valley. Set in the centre of Santa Ana, this eco-friendly hotel has an à la carte restaurant. Actually, I have stayed at Studio Hotle Boutique many times. I go back each time because I am confident that the facility will be the same very comfortable place to spend the night and where I will enjoy a cocktail at their comfortable bar before bed a very wholesome breakfast in the morning when I arise. This is my favorite hotel in the San José area; and, a real treat.
