  • Alajuela Tropical Hostel is a very pleasant place for those people who love nature and it is close to the airport. With mild weather and a fabulous view of San José valley one can reach it by bus as the bus stop is just 100m from the hostel and the area is very safe and quiet.It is worth the reasonable price we pay for it!

  • Make sure you have Alonso pick you up there at the airport. If you take the taxi you will get ripped off! He will stop with you along the way, to pick up any essentials you may require such as food items for the stay. The guesthouse sits in the mountains of San Antonio de Escazu in Pico Blanco. The vistas are the most exquisite! You'll be near nature as it was intended. First class hiking,mt. biking, crystal clear spring water, nature trails. Try the local food as well as gourmet 150m.Beautiful!

  • A great place to stay if your coming or going to the San Jose Airport as it is very near. Alonso, the owner, is a very good guy. Happy to accomodate any demands and very happy to pick up or drop at the airport or other arranged destinations. Hostel is hard to find so contact him. Certainly not a party hostel.
