Find hotels near Las Cataratas de Los Chorros, San José from SAR 82

"Very beautiful, the staff was very nice and helpful. Pura Vida!!"

"Hostess was amazing! She was up when we arrived late and had a fantastic breakfast for us early the next day. We also LOVED all of the furry friends roaming the property!"

"We only spent one night here and arrived very late, yet the owner was patiently waiting for us. They make you a fresh breakfast. It's very affordable and very close to the airport. They don’t offer transportation, but that didn’t affect us since we rented a car. 100% recommended.""

"I plan on returning. The hotel is nestled in the heart of San Jose, it's a huge property. I chose it for the decor/culture of Costa Rica. I swam in a pristine Olympic sized pool, I saw several iguanas, and I don't know how many bird species and in the ceiling of my room, what I thought was a mouse, was actually a bird nest with new hatchlings, which was a bit disturbing when I was sleeping. I was offered another room, it wasn't as nice, so I declined. Understanding Costa Rica embraces nature and tries not to disturb the natural habitats so they didn't remove the bird family. I adapted, it wasn't too bad. I will say bring/use insect repellent. There are few screens on any windows (in Costa Rica), which is the norm. Each day there were many insects dead in my room, I used spray to avoid bites. They conserve energy so the main building is open, no a/c just fresh air and fans. The building is open, anything may fly or crawl through the lobby or your room if you have your patio door open. The staff was beautiful, professional and so kind. The deep tissue massage was deep. The food was delicious and not expensive. Not sure if free refills were free, one said no, the others gave them to me. Caesar salad, calamari and a entree with ginger ale was $33.67. If you want to be as close to being a local, I suggest the location. Feels like the ambulance just made me want to sit and enjoy each moment. Bring washclothes they only give towels and hand towels. Older charming resort."

"The property owner and staff were all couteous and service oriented. The property is in a lovely setting with gardens and a little river. Breakfast on the patio was relaxing."

"I loved being in the mountains in nature. Beautiful property. There are bugs birds and even a chipmunk, lovely view. Simple Breakfast was included. A bit far from the city. Wifi was down when i arrived but i had backup. I would totally go back, it is a great escape and very reasonably priced. "

"Armando was very friendly and helpful, and made a nice breakfast in the morning! The area is a lush green forest so it really lives up to its name "Serenity by Nature"!"

"Sweet atmosphere, design is authentic to the local area, beautiful gardens, nice staff, good food, free breakfast includes eggs, rice and beans, fruit, juices, good value, especially if you have children and need a suite. "

"Here are some the pros: nice location on a residential street, easy access to downtown if you walk (about seven blocks away), nice shower head, big bed (but I found mattress uncomfortable so was glad I brought a memory foam mattress topper with me), owner was always responsive and very nice. Cons: no one was there to greet me when I arrived (had to wait 20 min), leaking roof in several rooms (they sent someone to repair but it was not completely fixed), outdoor furniture was all broken and when I complained it was replaced by owner's family with a plastic chair which wasn't that comfortable for a 6-week stay, lots of leaf cutter ants in backyard that bite (have to watch your dogs and children), can't use front yard at all because it belongs to family member but you have to watch that their dog doesn't get out when you open the gate since their dog has access to your driveway, furniture in general was not that comfortable. It looks nice but it was really hard on my back. Also, when it rains the open roof garden section in living room gets about 2 ft of the tile wet all around it. So you're constantly wiping up rain on the tile. As previous poster stated, house needs some repairs and upgrades. It served my needs for 6 weeks but it wasn't what I was expecting. I wish I could have spent more time outdoors but the outdoor furniture was just not conducive to doing that.responsive"
