Alajuela

Upon arrival or departure from San José, it is also an option to stay at a hotel close to the international airport. In Alajuela, there’s a nice and comfortable family hotel with a tropical garden and swimming pool. The perfect place to relax after a long journey or to get ready before boarding the plane back home again.

Near Alajuela, you find the Poas volcano national park, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. You best visit its crater in the early morning. A nice tour to plan upon arrival or during the last morning before departure.

Relaxed stay and enough time to reorganize our suitcases for departure! Fine food and everything well organized, including the coffee at 3.30 in the morning!

We liked it here and because your are so close to the airport, we flew back to the Netherlands feeling very relaxed!

Very nice hotel, great place to relax, far from the hustle and bustle in the city center.

Insider tip from Ed:

Do you fly back home in the evening? Make the most of your last day in Costa Rica and sign up for a chocolate tour, visit a nearby coffee farm or buy your last souvenirs in the center of San Jose!

Start your trip in the center of San José

San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica and here you usually arrive and start your holiday. Even though the city might be the least interesting destination of your trip, it is definitely worthwhile to explore. There are a few great (free) city tours and the neighbourhoods of Barrio Escalante, Dent and Amon are really up and coming and provide a great local offer of nice bars, restaurants and boutiques.
