We used this as a dropping off point in and out of SJO. We felt it was great value for the money, clean, friendly service. No problems with the Shuttle. Food was excellent with a first class buffet breakfast, a great dinner from Chef Hazel. I can agree with all of the previous reviews, and I wouldn't advocate it as... more

My wife and I have been to Costa Rica a number of times and we have stayed at the Hotel La Riviera a number of times. We generally us this hotel as a home base. It is great for staying on your arrival and departure nights. The shuttle service is nice also. In Costa Rica most things are more or... more

We booked with La Riviera because of its closeness to the airport, and the fact that they provided a shuttle. Our room was clean, but you could see where someone had written grafitti above the bed, and the hotel attempted to paint over it. The door to our patio was encased in metal bars, but the window above the shower... more

Having read the previous four reviews, I'd like to agree and disarree with some of the points that were made. I am sitting in the dining rm of Hotel La Riviera right now.

This hotel was recommended to us (and booked) through Dollar Car Rental -- it was a disaster. Also, we probably paid too much but we were going on Dollar's recommendation. They've done a lot of work on the exterior of this hotel to make it look classy but the rooms were horrible. The beds were very uncomfortable (one matress on... more

I spent over two weeks in Costa Rica and this hotel was a highlight of my trip. The customer service was excellent and the property is very well kept with a beautiful courtyard featuring a pool and restaurant. Please keep in mind that you're not in a 1st world country, compared to other properties in Costa Rica is one is... more

Beautiful lounge, pool, and patio and the room was clean but it looked nicer than it actually was. My husband and I did not sleep well because dogs were barking below our room, cars were flying by, people in other rooms were extremely loud, the beds were small and the sheets didn't fit correctly. The pool was freezing and there... more
