This charming jungle/garden hotel is 3,000 feet above sea level, making it cool in the evenings and comfortable during the day. The rooms are situated in bungalows and are well-appointed and very clean. The breakfast is very substantial and filling, and was the perfect fare following a hard travel day and in preparation for the-day of travel we were facing.... More

Like many people, the allure of Alajuela is its proximity to the airport while still being close to San Jose. The hotel is a wonderful and warm place, like a home more than a hotel. I had the feeling of really being welcome, and if a hotel is not just its beds and furniture (and it never is) this place... More

We stayed here before an early morning flight, and were very pleased. The grounds are exquisitely manicured, creating a little oasis in the bustle of Alajuela. Amanda was very helpful and polite, and arranged for us to have a "to-go" breakfast bag since we were leaving too early for breakfast. The room was clean and nicely furnished, with a firm... More

I can't say enough good things about our stay. After having spent a week in your beautiful country (La Fortuna and Monteverde areas), I can honestly say that your staff were the most helpful and hospitable we encountered (and we met so many wonderful people that is a compliment). Everyone went the extra mile to help, especially when we discovered... More

If you have kids keep an eye on them because there is no fence around the pool. Very nice garden. Rueben and Amanda were very pleasant. The food in the restaurant is good. Don't bother going outside to nearby restaurants. $4 for a cappuccino in one restaurant nearby so we returned to La Rosa where the food was nice anyway... More

I stayed here in April for the first and last two nights of my trip. It's very clean and well kept. The grounds are nicely landscaped and attracts birds as well. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They have a little restaurant with a small menu but the food is very good - I ate there for dinner each night... More

I was traveling alone and had the opportunity to stay at the La Rosa for one night and then 2 weeks later for two nights. I found the staff to be excellent ... courteous, helpful and always pleasant. The facilities were modern and very clean. The grounds, including the pool and the large garden area provided a welcome respite and... More

Our family loved this hotel. We stayed here for 2 nights upon our arrival in Costa Rica, and we took day trips to visit the Poas volcano and an organic pineapple farm north of the volcano. The large room was very comfortable, and the grounds were lovely with all the flowers and plants. Making a reservation was a breeze, with... More

Just a few miles from the airport, this is a perfect spot to start or end a trip to wonderful Costa Rica. Reception was very nice. We arrived about 8pm which is when the restaurant usually closes. They kindly offered to keep it open if we wanted. Very nice. We opted not to that evening, although the next day we... More
