Our group passed through Vida Tropical on our last day in San Jose, we didn't actually stay overnight.

Hotel Vida Tropical is a great place to stay at and to experience the hospitality of a Tico family. We just returned from CR and we stayed here for 3 nights (April 18, April 23 and April 24). The prices are great (we paid $45 per night, tax and breakfast included, for 2 people) and the owners, Isabel and Norman,... more

Clean and reasonably priced accommodations, delicious breakfasts,... more

My family and I, 2 adults and 3 children, spent 4 stays at Vida Tropical, flying in and out, and traveling for 5 months all over Costa Rica (it's true that you can leave your excess luggages there for free, and believe me, being 5 in the family, we had a lot to leave!).We were welcomed there like family every... more
