We stayed here at the end of our two week trip in Costa Rica. Its about 15 minutes to the rental car place we use which is about 10 minutes from the airport. We were married near Arenal May 9, traveled to Monteverde and Uvita. The hotel was so cozy and the food was excellent. We will definitely stay here... more

We stayed 2 separate nights at Hotel Grano de Oro. What elegance and beauty! The rooms were both gorgeous and unique. The entire hotel was breathtaking - the indoors flowed seamlessly to ourdoor areas, and back in again. We had dinner twice, and breakfast once, and the food was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to help us arrange... more

I loved this hotel! Approximately four years ago, I visited Grano de Oro Restaurant for dinner. I was very impressed with the service and the meal itself. Because I live in the US, I compare the prices to American prices. I thought we got excellent value for both the meal and the service. We were four women, at one point... more

We needed to stay one night in San Jose simply because we were being picked up from there for our trip to Tortuguero. Largely based on reviews on TA, we chose Hotel Grano de Oro. First impressions were good, it is a lovely building and our check in was handled efficiently and pleasantly. We booked a superior room (one up... more

My wife and I stayed here one night before catching a bus out of the Coca Cola terminal for Manuel Antonio the next morning. It was only a five minute cab ride to the bus station, and about a 25 minute cab ride from the airport. We loved the architecture, the elegant cafe, the food, the service and the location.... more

We booked this hotel simply because our flight got in late, and we didn't want to drive to the Pacific Coast until the next morning. I wasn't expecting much, but when we pulled up and saw this beautiful hotel I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very professional, and quickly checked us in and helped us get our bags to... more

We needed to be in San Jose the night before and after rafting the Pacuare, and Grano de Oro was on the list of hotels for which we'd have the latest pick-up (6:15 a.m. vs. 5:45 a.m.), so we opted to stay there. On our first night, we booked a standard room, as that was all that was available. Due... more

We really liked this hotel and have no doubt that it is the best hotel in San Jose. I think that the discrepency in reviews can best be explained by the rooms that one stays in. We stayed in two different rooms as we stayed one night at the start of our Costa Rica trip and one night at the... more

We stayed only one night at Grano de Oro as we traveled out of San Jose, but it was really marvelous! The hotel's amazing concept is the indoor/outdoor spaces. You're walking, and all of the sudden you notice fresh air, look up, and there's the moon! The restaurant was phenomenal, and the rooms were extremely cute -- they had a... more
