- Rory (10/5): - Lovely spot! Will definitely stay here again!
- Ann (7/5): - Close to airport Facilities are dated
- Ericka (7/5): -
- maria (10/5): - The general feel a bit of hostel crossed with hotel facilities. The lack of AC in the gym and it was very tired needed a good clean and declutter
- Rachael (7/5): Ok overall - Unique and quirky with a nice pool and offered good breakfast. Unfortunately large tour groups arrived and were very loud and disruptive late at night and early morning causing lots of disturbance which is not what you need before a long flight. Rooms a little tired and air con in our daughters room was very loud. Hotel owners did acknowledge the noise issues and offered us a future complimentary stay at the hotel but as we are from UK, this is not something we are ever likely to take up.
- Bertine (9/5): Als tussenstop naar het vliegveld super - De totale ambiance, erg gezellig mooi ingericht Nvt
- Fatima Carolina (10/5): Muy bien servicio - La decoración está súper bonita y las habitaciones son acogedoras, me gustó las pinturas en las paredes Las escaleras
- Fatima Carolina (10/5): Buen servicio - Todo muy bien Las escaleras
- Michelle (6/5): -
- urdaneta (7/5): - Conveniente ubicación Más que un hotel al uso es una casa tipo pensión, aunque un poco anticuado todo estaba correcto
- Dwld (8/5): great place to stay but don't eat if possible at the restaurant - This place is great...settled in kind of tropical area...nice pool, and very uncommon in Costa Rica, a hot water jacuzzi which is solar energy heated ! Breakfast was great, WIFI worked well, and TV is having several international channels including European one...which is also extremely uncommon in CR.
I would have given a maximum note if the "no like" were not. Limited parking within the hotel, had to park my rented car outside on the street, which is not an issue. But for such a high rate hotel, would expect more parking.
The most negative issue to my eyes is the totally overpriced restaurant. Meals and drinks are at least 35% more expensive than in any hotel I stayed in the country. This really showed they are too much willing to .make money on tourists, which at the end will make them running away.
- Laura (10/5): Again great. We always stay here when traveling to Costa Rica - Breakfast offers some choices that include plenty of fresh fruits, both known and Costa Rican. This is a great stepping off place for tourists as there are little notes about the culture around the hotel to assist with understanding more about the country you are visiting

- Cornelia (10/5): -
- Carol (10/5): -
- Marcia (8/5): Comfortable. The painting over my bed was a bit strange. - It was clean and comfortable, staff helpful and friendly. I was glad to have a restaurant there so I didn’t have to go out after dark for dinner. I wish I had more time to use the pool. It looked very inviting. The location is close to the highway, so there’s the sound of trucks. The price is higher than what I normally pay but I wanted to try a new place.
- Paulina (8/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Every visit to Costa Rica I enjoy Adventure Inn as a great start and end hotel - The breakfast was very good. We didn’t stay long enough to check out the pool. There was a hot tub too. The staff were fantastic! They are so very familiar with tourist travel they could set up every aspect of the airport transfers as well as understanding tourist’s needs.
- Carol (9/5): -
- Yvonne (8/5): - So wie man es sich als Gast vorstellt
- Antje (7/5): -
- Wilson (9/5): Easy overnight before a flight out. - It was cozy like a boutique hotel. The pool are was nice and thank god for the hot tub as it was chilly while we were there. Loud street noise coming into the room. Hot water was almost non existent. If you left the cold off and turned the hot to almost off the water would warm up.
- Patrycja (9/5): - Very good organization starting from booking a transfer to the aiport, wake-up service to preparing a breakfast to-go due to our check out at a very early hour. I highly recomend and if next time I would stay again.
- Magali (10/5): Très bon hôtel proche de l aeroport - Très bon hôtel près de l aeroport

- Eric (10/5): Wonderful Stay at the Adventure Inn - My family of 4 from Colorado stayed at the Adventure Inn on the last night of our vacation in Costa Rica. It was a really great experience. The rooms are clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff is really helpful and friendly - and speaks English well, which was a big help for us since our Spanish is not very good. They have one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had and it was included with the stay. My favorite part is when the owner of the hotel, originally from Canada, stopped by and asked if my kids would like to help him feed the fish in the pond. That was a really nice thing to do and they loved it. I hope to stay here again the next time we are visiting Costa Rica.
- Richard (7/5): - Good if you are just passing through for one night.
- Jose (10/5): Excelente - Instalaciones y atención del personal Precios y poca variedad del menú del restaurante
- Gillian (8/5): Great for arriving and leaving as close to the airport. Has a pool and hot tub to occupy you if you have time. Food in r - Pool, hot tub, restaurant/bar and proximity to the airport.
In a safe neighbourhood. In need of some cosmetic updating.
- Joel (10/5): -
- Olivia (6/5): -
- Robin (9/5): nice to support a local business rather than a chain - nice room, comfy, good breakfast, nice restaurant, locally owned
- Mora Torres (10/5): - Muy fino, limpio Nada, todo perfecto
- Robin (9/5): -
- Masato (8/5): Me gusta las frutas en el desayuno -
- Karen (10/5): - La piscina fascinante... las habitaciones muy lindas y el trato muy bueno. Me encantó Los precios del restaurante para mi muy excesivo y el sabor no muy rico...
Una de las chicas muy linda persona pero la otra el trato no fue muy agradable
- Sonja (9/5): Great place to relax and be close to the airport. - 1) Very helpful and kind staff. They even let me borrow an umbrella for the day. 2) I also liked that the airport taxi was included. 3) There is a commercial area about an 8-10 minute walk away, which is very convenient. There's a Fresh Market grocery store there, as well as some restaurants/bars. 4) The room was large and spacious. 5) WiFi worked well in my room and the common areas, including the pool. The on-site restaurant was a bit expensive for what you got.
- Cristian Harol (9/5): - Es familiar, la piscina temperada y sobre todo las pinturas en las paredes y decoración. un poco de descordinación en Booking mostraba con desayuno y transporte pero el transporte no incluía. igual un excelente lugar.
- Victor (8/5): -
- Catalina (10/5): Clean, great location, comfy - While I was there I reserved a room for a different night. But then my travel plans changed and they were able to cancel and issue a refund without issue. The property was great, but I had a hard time getting a hold of anyone when I first arrived at the airport, but I understand that it was past midnight.
- Marjorie (7/5): - Friendly staff The food was not very good
- Holly (6/5): Transfer site before flight - It was a place to sleep It’s all good
- Margit (9/5): Überraschend gemütlich und außergewöhnlich eingerichtet - Das Hotel überrascht im Inneren. Von außen wirkt es unscheinbar, ist aber innen großzügig, bietet einige Räume zum Entspannen, hat einen schönen Poolbereich mit Whirlpool.
Das Restaurant ist schlicht, das Essen landestypisch und lecker. Das Personal ist hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Zum Flughafen ist es nah und gut zu erreichen. Alles war gut!
- rodriguez (1/5): No volvería - Nada El hospedaje lo hice para un cliente mío y fue lo peor que pude hacer.
El trato del personal, el recibimiento del guarda de seguridad pésimo y la atención en recepción mala
- Vladimír (9/5): -
- Jenkins (1/5): - Nothing I had a small bowl of spaghetti with 2 small pieces of bread and a bottle water.
They charged me $26 us.
Absolutely ripped me off.
I recommend this
- Denice (10/5): -
- Maartje (9/5): - Het personeel was super vriendelijk en erg behulpzaam! De kamer was heel netjes en schoon.
- William (8/5): - Great facility, friendly staff and awesome hot tub. The extra option to leave your car for a few days is amazing. I'll be back All good
- Elizabeth (8/5): - La ubicación y la alberca Que en la publicación te ofrecían al final desayuno incluso en su mensaje de bienvenida y al llegar indican que por el precio no lo incluía y la habitación estaba cerca del restaurante hubo mucho ruido de las personas que estaban ahí hasta tarde en la noche
- Janet (10/5): Great place to stay for arrival and departures. - Location. Parking. Staff. Nothing.
- Jonathan (10/5): -
- Tora (9/5): Enjoyed my stay, great neighborhood, good value. - It was quaint and clean. Very comfortable beds, good shower and spacious. The transport to and from the airport was nice. The regular key with the wooden board attached. Not so easy to carry but I guess less keys are lost that way.
- Sigrún Brynja (9/5): -
- Patricia (8/5): Great place for airport ease , wonderful restaurant on site ! - Great place , transportation was extremely helpful to & from the airport!! Pillows were very old & lumpy
- Ana (9/5): - Ubicación muy buena si se busca cerca del aeropuerto. Cuenta con todas las facilidades. Además el staff nos trató estupendamente. Ofrecen shuttle desde y hacia el aeropuerto.
- Nouri (8/5): - The outdoor space and restaurant and staff. Rooms A little outdated.
- Alexandra (10/5): Good value - Good breakfast, big spacious room, and nice pool
Lovely and helpful staff
- Jane (8/5): Excellent hotel for an overnight stay but still with comfortable surroundings and facilities. - Close to the airport but still quiet.
Very professional and welcoming staff.
Free transfer to the airport.
Large room.
Excellent pool.
Free tea and coffee in rooms. It was an overnight stay and provided all that was needed.
- M. Angeles (5/5): Para una primera noche - El desayuno y la cercanía al aeropuerto y al rentalcars No me gustó la cena,estaban de cambios y tenían poco para elegir y resultó caro y poca cantidad con lo que estamos viendo después de llevar una semana en el país,deberían de avisar que el restaurante no presta el servicio que pone en la web,el que tuviera restaurante para cenar fue uno de los motivos que lo elegiríamos después de un largo vuelo
- Pilar (10/5): Friendly atmosphere make us feel at home! - The staff goes the extra-mile to provide services. Very friendly and problem solvers. The staff make a difference in your staying, as they make you feel at home. The facility is easier to move around. The entire place is decorated with pictures and sculptures that allow you to get entertained. Convenient and easy access to the National Convention Center. You meet other people there, who either traveling with their children or are attending a conference. They also arranged our pick-up and return to the airport and say goodbye with a mild breakfast. We enjoy our staying! Thank you to Manfred, José, Luis, the breakfast chef, the nice and great lady in the restaurant, and everyone who serve us with kindness and beautiful smile. Nothing to share here, as we like all the services.
- JORDI (8/5): -
- Wil (8/5): Prima voor een paar dagen - Super vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel
Ontbijt en diner erg smaakvol
Kleinschalig
Grote kamers, prima bedden Ligt iets verder af van winkelcentrum maar daardoor wel rustige omgeving
- Rick (9/5): Excellent choice for family stay - Very unique Hotel. Not the typical cookie cutter. Large rooms. Staff super helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast. Again not the typical cookie cutter. Some fruit and pastries laid out but you could order off a simple menu of local breakfasts. For me the location was perfect as i had to go to meetings at convention center. There is a short walk to some nice restaurants and market 5 min walk. Safe neighborhood. My bed was way too soft for me
- Rebeca (8/5): Great spot near airport with a bit of local charm, everything you need, great staff and only 10-15 minutes from airport - Perfect spot to land when you are arriving in Costa Rica and need a night next to airport bit don’t want to stay in a generic chain hotel.
- Lorna (5/5): Quirky hotel near the airport - There's a lot to like:
The breakfast was great, very good. I love the vibe of the restaurant
The pool and jacuzzi are nice and usually you have the pool to yourself so very relaxing
The WiFi was very good
The staff are friendly enough
The room was cleaned to a high standard every day
Travelling with a child who needs lots of sleep, I liked the signs about being quiet 8pm to 8am as it's good etiquette. Even the tables next to bedrooms had signs saying not to use them after 8pm, that's great.
The towels were nice and the shower worked well
The windows had a mosquito net which I loved.
We loved that it was fresh well water from the tap!.
The hotel is quite quirky which we loved The room had a musty smell and it looked like it needed an upgrade. The walls looked a bit dusty. Painting the rooms and changing the furniture would freshen things up. It felt a bit dark and dingy.
We woke up at 6am one morning with other guests in the restaurant, it was crazy loud. We felt exhausted for the rest of the day.
There isn't much in the area, I think it's a good option simply to and from the airport as they offer a free shuttle.
- Gerald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jean-thomas (9/5): Superb -
- Eugene (3/5): Poor -
- Carter-page (9/5): Beautiful, and a wonderful find! - Staff - so friendly and helpful!
Information provided - great!
Facilities - lovely. Pool area especially nice.
Location - good.
Would definitely stay here again. Maybe the bar/restaurant could stay open a little later. But that really wasn't a major issue, just feedback.
- Nicole (8/5): Convenient last night in San Jose! - Good restaurant and nice pool! Very friendly staff.
- Marie (7/5): Good - Kind staff.
- Denise (8/5): Very good -
