Top San José Hotel Reviews

Rinconcito Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room and the staff were friendly and very helpful. They let us leave our bags before and after while we went on tours which was a nice bonus."

Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin is super cute and clean, staff were wonderful, the breakfast was delicious and dinner also. We had an amazing time! We went in October, during that time I wish there was more to do in the evening, especially on weekend days. We were told was just cause of the season we were in. However, to get away and disconnect was fantastic. All the excursions were 10/10. I would definitely recommend."

Yarumo Lodge Río Celeste Black Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"This place was really perfect for me and my son. The location is on the mountain but not far off the road so you get peace and also some wildlife sounds. Everything was so clean and comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with all cooking supplies which was a relief after having to eat out so often. I would definitely stay here again"

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A hidden gem in guanacaste province! By far my favorite place, from the warm welcome, to the well-thought out layout of our cabin, to the excellent service all around! The place is clean, safe, well maintained, easy to navigate even for our young kids, who felt right at home. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a chocolate drink and a tasting of various locally crafted cacao products. The breakfast, traditional costa rican, is made fresh every morning, with coffee/tea/hot chocolate included! Dinner in 2026 is 18 USD per adult and 12 USD per child. Well worth it even if it's slightly pricier than local sodas: it's a genuine farm-to-table experience, includes a fresh fruit juice and dessert. We did the included cacao tour (and learned so much!) as well as the paid chocolate workshop (so much fun, and you get to take home 3 tablets of personalized chocolate per person! In 2026, it was 120 USD for our family of four). And what to say about the staff! Friendly, kind, and super patient with the children :) The included spa is gorgeous; we felt like we were right in paradise on earth! Yoga mats, hot bath, cold bath, showers, all in the middle of a gorgeous tropical setting! An ecologically friendly place; they recycle, they promote responsable handling of nature, and, the cacao farm is sustainably managed and organic!"
