Just a medium sized town with everything you need.
Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.Guest review by2020 TravelerUnited States - 2.0
San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much...
San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.Guest review byBrownBearsCaliforniaUnited States - 10.0

Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.Guest review byHaworth - 10.0

Alajuela has everything I like in a city without much down side. It's clean and safe with many markets, shops, malls, transportation options, green spaces and restaurants. It even has a large dance school.Guest review byStantonUnited States - 6.0
We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.
We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!Guest review byLarryUnited States - 8.0
We used Alajuela as a base location to launch the day trip...
We used Alajuela as a base location to launch the day trip to Sarchi and Zarcero using a rental car, since our next outing was visiting friends south of San Juan. However, the heavy commuter traffic near Alajuela, SJO Airport, and San Juan adds 30-70 minutes (sometimes doubling travel times) at rush hours, plus choking exhaust. Two nights were enough near Alajuela. However, staying in Sarchi or Zarcero overnight instead would have been nicer; or an all-inclusive tour there would be most relaxing. For rides in Alajuela and San Juan, Uber is cheaper than taxi and is made secure by exchanged pin code. FYI: Car rental is surprisingly cheap and was well worthwhile for visiting Arenal and La Fortuna on our own schedule, nice for 5 nights (2.5 hours drive from Alejuela). A private shuttle to Arenal would be more relaxing than renting a car on the twisty mountain roads, but will cost significantly more than driving yourself.Guest review byPhotoseekerUnited States

- From 5,443.29 Kč per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 378 reviewsI loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.Guest review byCeciliaFrance

(https://worldobstacle.org/2024-ocrwch/ ) The hotel was fantastic—we had the best night's sleep and felt completely relaxed after using the pool and playing some pool. The breakfast was delicious!
