This was one of the best things we stumbled upon in our last trip (of 3) to Costa Rica. With the complementary pickup at the airport, we didn't have to deal with the awful scene of San Jose. We expected to be disappointed, but the opposite happened when we arrived at the Buena Vista. The hotel was beautiful, the grounds... more

We stayed at the Hotel Buena Vista for our night before flying home. Easy to find with signs everywhere leading to the hotel. The staff was wonderful. We had a nice large room with 4 beds with a beautiful view of the volcano and city lights. Dinner was nice in the restaurant downstairs. Because our flight home was so early... more

The Service was absolutely wonnderful, and you are on the hill going to Volcan Poas. Very Basic, and the restaurant had good food. My experience was great, and I would say the only downside was that the room was kind of small (for 4 people). And another great thing was how open it was. more

Great view!

Really great experience--stayed in room 109 twice where you really get the good view, and I loved falling asleep and waking up to the beautiful view of San Jose. Everyone at the hotel is really nice and accomodating. I'd definitely stay again. Gave it 4 stars b/c the restaurant food is just so-so--but they do have an extensive menu. more

I booked this hotel as just a place to stay to get to and from the airport, and be the start and finish to our vacation. I didn't expect that it would be so nice!!!!!! The staff was very helpful. From the ride from the airport , to helping us rent a car, directions to Monteverde and Playa Nosara. They... more

As most other guests have commented, the staff here is first-rate -- genuinely friendly and helpful in all respects, as well as industrious and versatile. Prospective guests should be aware of the pros and cons of the location -- quite remote, with nothing else to see or do in the immediate area, but quiet and peaceful and reasonably convenient for... more

The hotel is clean and spacious. The garden is really lovely and the view spectacular. The staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and at home. We ended a 10 day trip here and did not stray more than a mile away the entire two days. more

We stayed here as a stopover after a vacation in Manuel Antonio and an early morning flight home out of SJO. Free airport shuttle is nice, only a 10 minute ride, 15 if there is traffic. The grounds are beautiful. Small pool and large grassy lawn with lounge chairs. The lawn overlooks the city of San Jose and a number... more
