The staff at this place is truly amazing. I haven't seen this level of service anywhere in Costa Rica. They truly care about you and want to make your stay as special as possible. Food is also incredibly amazing. And I'm a picky eater but the cooking is unbelievable Green area is very beautiful and very well maintained. Very quiet.

I liked the availability of a shuttle to the airport as much as the free breakfast as well. The staff was the best. Laura is fantastic. She was so nice and helpful. The guys there too. They helped us find a car to rent and provided all the information we asked for. Laura deserves a raise.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

    Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

    Genuine Costa Rican neighborhood about ten minutes from airport. There is a well stocked kitchen and a grocery store and ATM two blocks away. Official red taxi from airport should be $8 for a car $12 for a van and some take credit cards. Or call Uber from the departures level (one level higher). Note that you will have to help navigate your driver to the hotel, as there is no sign on the door. It's worth spending some time in Alajuela, as you can Uber to the Starbucks farm or take the bus from Alajuela to Volcano Poas.

    We had Room 1 (standard double with bathroom) which is a nice cool internal room with plenty of space and a window on to a light well which provides good ventilation. The bedding was clean and the room tidy. The family running the hotel are friendly and helpful and made us fell very welcome. We started and finished our holiday at Hotel Pacande which is perfect for access to the airport and not in the hustle & bustle of San Jose. Alajuela is a nice town with good restaurants and shops.
