Hotel Balmoral charges you in full on your first day and will not allow for any subsequent changes. I reserved for 10 days and was told by management that they would only issue a voucher credit to be used within the next 30 days. This policy should be stated upfront so people making reservations know all terms. Tourism business is down and they appear desperate for business but their policies prevent you from ever returning again. This establishment appears only willing to provide discounts and incentives solely to the hispanic community.

I had a 5 star experience here for 8 nights and enjoyed a beautiful room overlooking the golf course and mountains. The room service was exceptional particularly the quesadilla and the pasta dishes. The pools were sensational and even tho it was packed there was plenty of room for everyone. The spa was well worth it (ask for Laura) she is the best! I had great housekeeping from Maria on the fifth floor and my favorite bellman was a gentleman named Carlos. Everyone was very friendly and when there were any issues at checkout or checkin they were resolved quickly by the excellent customer support team of Caleb, Jackeline & Gianina all of whom provided impeccable service.

We stayed twice at Bougainvillea, 3 nights at the start of our birding tour, and one night at the end. It is a great introduction to Costa Rica and birding. We really loved the garden out the back, which had plenty of new birds for us. The buffet breakfast in the morning was probably the best on our trip (the only one that had a good muesli for me!) and the restaurant catered well for gluten free and vegetarian diets, with enough variety when staying a couple of days. The sandwiches are highly recommended. The rooms are spacious. There is a security box that works, and WiFi is flawless. There is a fan in the rooms but no air conditioning, and on the hot days we were there I did find the rooms a little too hot in the evenings when trying to sleep. It does cool down to around 20 degrees overnight, but that is a little hot for me. Service from all staff was excellent. They do money exchange at reception and help organise taxis for going in to San Jose. This hotel is very popular with western birders arriving in the country and it lives up to its reputation. Highly recommended.

This was our first stop in Costa Rica and we knew it wasn't the best area of San Jose (so if you go out book a taxis especially at night). Reception were friendly and helpful and we were quickly settled into our room 110 on ground floor (looking into the middle of the court yard area (away from any road noise). Room was basic but had everything we needed, shower was good, bottled water in room and bed was comfy. We ate the first night in the hotel and the food was fine (see pic), plenty of choice. Ignore their website re meal times as evening meals were available (6.30 to 9pm). Breakfast was a standard CR offering but was fine and reasonable options. I believe it started at 6.30am? We got a takeaway breakfast on 2nd day as we left at 6am which was fine. Good stay overall and the hotel did everything you could have expected of them.

Very nice hotel. Wonderful staff from front desk to housekeeping and breakfast, all were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was great, many options to choose from and I especially liked the Cafe Britt machine with its plethora of options. My cortados were so good, I ended up purchasing from Cafe Britt when we returned home! The hotel is within close walking distance of many shops and restaurants. We stopped by the Tap House next door for a very enjoyable dinner and enjoyed the various events taking place right outside of the hotel. Just a warning, the hotel can be tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area. You can only seem to enter the parking lot from one side which means taking a right turn just past the Volvo dealership. It looks like you're pulling into a parking garage but you'll see a small sign for the hotel on your left. There is a small parking area for the hotel but if there are no open spaces, you park at the AC Marriott hotel and they'll stamp your card from the front desk so you don't have to pay.

This place was good value for the money. We spent our last night in Costa Rica here. We stayed in the King sized room and there were also two single beds. It was very spacious and clean with lots of windows. Good wifi and comfortable bed. Many of the guests were young travellers so it resembles a hostel. The young women on the desk were pleasant. The walls are thin and we could hear every word our neighbours said but it quieted down around 11 pm. I would recommend this place.

Our family had a 2 bed 1 bath apartment style unit, and it was a great amount of space. We were there for about a week and felt very homey. The breakfast every morning was absolutely fantastic, and the freshly made omelettes were delicious. Its location is fantastic as a lot of tour companies can pick up from there and a lot of fast food options nearby. The park nearby is very active, and the National soccer stadium is very close by, too. The staff is absolutely wonderful as well Sergio was amazing, as I had left something very dear to me behind on my last day, and he assured me that it would be reached back home to me and followed through with his promise. Tamara was an amazing help as well. She helped me book a couple of tours and recommended gorgeous sites to see! Overall 100/10 experience at Suites Cristina and I will definitely be staying there next time.

GGuest UserI just came back from a week long trip to Costa Rica and stayed at the Studio Hotel Boutique. Everything about this hotel was wonderful. Outstanding service from the staff, beautiful hotel in a quiet part of Santa Ana, and beautiful art all over the hotel. We felt like we were staying in a museum. The restaurant had great food, and a great breakfast buffet, with a wide variety of choices for everyone. Harold who is in charge of the tours was wonderful. We contacted him before our visit, and he took care of everything for us. We always go with big chain hotels, but the price and the reviews for this hotel encouraged us to take a chance. I’m so glad we did. The price was decent and the hotel was excellent, a real find. I give this hotel 5 stars. I look forward to staying there again, and I recommend this hotel to anyone taking a trip to Costa Rica.

董董We need to make an appointment for the hotel's pick-up service. The Ctrip housekeeper will contact the hotel. The hotel said that the guests must call by themselves. The hotel did not provide a mailbox. We called in the past by a recorded call and told the hotel the flight number and time of the pick-up. As a result, there was no response, and we had to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel.

I cannot say one bad thing about this place. First class all the way. Beautiful rooms, rain shower heads, best beds and pillows ever, great and kind beautiful staff. The guys at the front desk became very vested in us, giving us info, storing our bags, always dressed perfectly, and always carrying themselves professionally. The breakfast buffet in the morning was great! The hotel is located in a quiet part of town, yet very close to bus routes, major highways, groceries, and parks. Guests have access to the pool next door which was small and cozy. There us a small gym downstairs with a few machines and weights. And of course the small ****** around the corner. A great value!

GGuest UserWe have stayed at Casa Lima for years. The location is great since it is walking distance to our family's house. But this stay was not pleasant. We stayed in 2 room family suite, which we have stayed in this room type before (but received a different room). There were cobwebs everywhere throughout the 2 rooms. I am talking large, draping cobwebs in all the corners, it was dirty. These could have easily been removed with a broom. The room did not feel clean and our youngest was not comfortable. We had arrived late at night and had been communicating this to the hotel all along. It didn't seem like they were ready for us, the owner/manager was grumpy and seemed irritated when we asked for some water. The main 1st room had a double bed and a fold out couch. The bed was comfortable, the couch was not. There was a wardrobe to place your things. The fridge did not work. The adjacent room, had three twin beds, no windows. There was nowhere to put anything, no closet, no wardrobe, not even space for a suitcase. The adjoining door did not close unless you deadbolted it, not too comfy for a family with young kids. The bathoom door in the twin room didn't close at all, it would slide open, and most definitely didn't lock. The TV in that room didn't work either. We did report that the fridge didn't work, but they didn't do anything about it. The courtyard, as always, is amazing. It is like a jungle in the middle of the city with a ton of plants, trees, flowers and colorful rocks. There is a coi pond with a couple turtles and you can feed them if you ask for some food. There is also a large cage with a bunch of birds, which adds to the ambiance. The breakfast is simple, but good. The servers are awesome. I feel like the last 3 stays at this hotel have gone considerably downhill. i also feel like the price was a lot higher than we paid in the past. We will be looking for another go to hotel in the future.

TTessa_assetUndiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro.
Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask!
We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor.
Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited.
Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property).
Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.

Good communication, via e-mail, prior to stay as I needed a refrigerator in my room. That was arranged in advance for me. Primarily due to traffic the property is about 30 minutes from the airport. Check-in was smooth. I think this is an older property, but my room was clean comfortable, no obvious wear and tear, renovated bathroom with standup shower and actual towel hooks (seems to be a rarity at many properties these days). All staff was very friendly. The property is somewhat misnamed (at least for a non-resident). The property is not within safe walking distance of the well known La Sabana park. By ‘safe’ I mean it appears that there is at least one major highway that has to be crossed. The grounds around the pool are well-maintained. Plenty of loungers, towels, a couple of covered beds available, but I didn’t see any umbrellas, so the pool was a non starter for me after although some shaded areas in the afternoon. Also, strong wifi in the pool area. The wifi just outside the lobby area was not great. But the wifi at the sports bar in the lobby area covered the front of the property. Note that a password is needed for both the hotel and the sports bar. I did get a takeaway dinner from the restaurant. Food was substantial. A bit strange in that I couldn’t charge it to my room, but if I ordered the same via room service, charging to my room would have been OK. Not a big deal. The breakfast buffet, which I tried once was good with made to order eggs, albeit a bit pricey I thought. The sports bar food was OK, weak house alcoholic drinks. There is a walkable neighborhood behind the hotel. The property uses Gold’s Gym for its gym (free of charge for guests). There is also a sports bar, a Denny’s, a Subway, a supermarket, a ******, and a pharmacy all within a minute walk of the property. Maybe there is a tennis court in the vicinity? I saw many women (but not as a group) with tennis rackets walking through the property. It is a no smoking property, including outdoors. That is a plus. Also, my floor had a filtered water and filtered ice machine. Uber into downtown San Jose works well, but allow for traffic. One trip took me about 15 minutes, returning from the same location, midday took 45 minutes, Plan accordingly. Normally, I’d give a 5*, but in this case just a 4*. I am a IHG Platinum, asked for 1 PM checkout (one hour late). Front desk said all arranged (I re-verified on the morning of checkout day). I had a meeting at noon and didn’t want to be interrupted. Front desk assured me that housekeeping would be advised accordingly. Sure enough, housekeeping was knocking on my door at 12:05 asking when I was leaving the room. The lack of communication between departments is very frustrating. This was a multi-night stay for me as I needed to be in the vicinity for a bit. With the exception of the housekeeping knock prior to my agreed upon checkout time, no complaints.

Ddippeydoo1this hotel is very confusing to locate. there is no sign except for a banner on a fence. this hotel is attached to a Holiday inn which makes it more confusing. they literally share a courtyard and the buildings are attached. when you pull in there is nothing directing you to a lobby, no signs, luckily an employee was standing outside and they explained where to go. we have a large group of 22 and a total of 6 rooms reserved. originally we are told the 6 people checking in for each room need their passports, then he changes his mind and decides everyone needs to show their passports which i have never done before in any hotel in Costa Rica out of all the trips and hotels we stayed at. they take all our passports and write down all the names and passport numbers for all 22 guests which i was very uncomfortable with. we were flying out very early in the morning so we had no choice. There were 3 people working the front desk at some point a 4th guy showed up, 2 of the clerks were friendly but the main guy was condescending and rude! we finally get our keys, only 1 room was given the complimentary bottle of wine. the rooms were dirty, dark, and smelled awful, a mix of paint, mold, and chemicals. the rooms look nothing like the pictures advertised, im sure many years ago they did but now theyre dirty and outdated. our balcony door did not close, it was held open by the chain lock but the door knob would not latch so the door remained slightly open. bugs were flying in so my husband rigged the door to keep it closed, not locked just closed enough to keep bugs out. we went downstairs to pick up some dinner leaving our 17 year old taking a shower. we had requested towels since there was only 2 and 4 of us, i guess they decided to let themselves in while we were out, my son heard the door and assumed it was us returning until several minutes later someone knocked on the bathroom door! they started speaking to my son in spanish which he does not speak, he was totally freaked out! why would you stay in the room if you heard the shower on?! then he doesnt even leave! my son said it was several minutes later that he finally left the room!! what the hell was he doing in our room for so long?!!! My sister was given someone else's room and when she went down to let them know the room was locked they insisted she wasnt using the key card correctly so they walked her back up, tried the card but the door was locked with the safety pin so it only opened slightly, the guy then tried pushing the door open with his body when a gentleman appears inside startled from being woken up to someone trying to break into his room! my sister was embarrassed, explained what happened and apologized. HOW DOES A FRONT DESK NOT KNOW WHAT ROOMS THEY HAVE ALREADY FILLED?!?! completely unacceptable! DO NOT STAY HERE!!! there are so many options nearby find anywhere else to stay.
3.6/5
JJeffereyA hotel above two restaurants a block away from the main streets. There were some small critters but otherwise good bang for buck. There was a ceiling fan with 3 settings. My toilet seat did not have the cover though.

La Sabana Park
GGavin-BeijingBeautiful and practical national park, close to the national stadium built by China's assistance, many people exercise in Savannah Park every day, play football, run, play tennis, roller skating, etc., once saw a group of people practicing acrobatics here, the weekend is even more lively, Many people drive to the park for leisure, and all the small catering vendors are out. The park is full of people and lively! There is a pond in the park, there are hundreds of red-billed ducks, only more than 20 half a year ago, the environment is good, and the animals are breeding fast! The most interesting thing in the park is the little squirrels. I live nearby and have the opportunity to feed the little squirrels. I am fortunate to see the various expressions and expressions of the little squirrels! If the ecology in China's parks is also so good, how good it is! ! !

Pre-Columbian Gold Museum
番番茄SiminThe price is 9600 kronor. Most of the three-story museum is underground. The exhibition starts with an introduction to history, and displays various interesting small objects made of gold along the way. Golden frogs and various little people are the characteristics. The exhibition ends with a currency exhibition, which introduces the currency history of Costa Rica. I finally learned that the name of the colón comes from Columbus and has been used since 1950. In addition, there is a small art exhibition. I like an art painting that is all copper plates, and different birds will make different sounds when pressing different plates. Overall, it is worth a visit.
