After spending 2 lovely weeks in the beautiful country of Costa Rica a friend recommended we try Cariari B&B for our last few nights. It was near the San Jose Airport and we said ok. To share a very large exquisite hacienda style home with the hostess was a unique experience. Our hostess was very knowledgeable on things to do... More

I stayed here one night before and one night following a kayaking trip in the Honeymoon room. The entire house is clean and all of the rooms are nice. The outdoor balcony is the best, with plenty of seating and a nice breeze. Laurie offered snacks and breakfast was plentiful, local and delicious. Airport transport to B&B is $18 and... More

The owner is amazing a lot of fun, very helpful and friendly. We were well taken care of, and breakfast ist just delicious. Maybe a bit pricey, but we enjoyed our stay. The B&B is in a very quiet area, close to the airport, and it has facilities, like a grocery store and pharmacy 5 minutes away.

We stayed here 2 nights, once on the way into CR and once on the way out of CR and it's a good alternative to San Jose. Laurie is an excellent host, the rooms are spacious and the breakfast hearty. There are also dining options within walking distance and the neighbourhood is safe.

We had a wonderful one night stay before heading to the Arenal area. Laurie is a wonderful host, and extremely helpful in making transportation arrangements, etc. She is such fun and a wonderful cook! We loved the breakfast before we headed out... She has my highest recommendation!

It was immaculate, the decor warm and attractive, and the friendly staff very attentive. An amazing breakfast was served every morning in the lovely patio. Eggs were prepared to my liking and on the table was... More

My husband and I have stayed with Laurie and her great staff many times. It is our safe haven in San Jose, while we are taking care of business or in between travel to and from the states. It is a warm and wonderful B&B where all of our needs are well taken care of. The home and gardens are... More
