This was our second trip to San Jose for extensive (and way too expensive in the US) dental work at New Smile Dental. They are wonderful! Even with airfare and 12 days in Costa Rica I estimate it cost 1/3 of US dental. Got a great vacation to boot! We very much enjoyed the La Paz Waterfall and Doka Coffee Plantation tour. Learned a lot. Saw a lot of animals and butterflies in the wildlife rescue and did a lot of hiking stairs up and down steep terrain. We had a lot of fun at the central artisan market. Not fancy but the salespeople were engaging and we bought some nice things. Local transport is easy by taxi ($5-10). Public city bus is very cheap. Bus to Jaco Beach from 7-10 Bus Station was <$5 for a 2 hour trip. Lovely station with many food and shopping opportunities.
We were only here for a couple of days at the start of our trip and to be honest that was enough. There are a few museums and gardens, and we ate in some good places, but I wouldn't recommend spending more than two days here as there is so much to see out of the city!
Gets local driver because the traffic and drivers of trucks, 19 wheelers, buses, cars and motorcyclists weaving in and out of lanes will quickly age you. Stayed at Barclays Hotel - excellent all around!!
“The staff was super friendly and helpful. It was a ten-fifteen minute walk to downtown which was really convenient. And they had hot water in the showers which was awesome! A great place to stay while in San Jose and it feels safe since they have a locked gate to get into the building.”
“I think so far it's the best hotel I been to in Costa Rica”
“We called ahead to change our reservation to include an additional night and to upgrade to deluxe room. Lucy, one of the owners, was so friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful. The room is so comfortable we didn't want to leave. Free breakfast was perfect. Highly recommend this place as it is only 20 minutes to the airport and close to downtown San Jose.”
“Gina the manager was incredibly friendly and helpful when I needed to check in early. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the San Jose, Costa Rica area.”
“Hotel was new and modern. After having stayed in a few budget hotels around Costa Rica this was a pleasant ending ! Big, lovely shower. Great view from the room. Always nice to have a pool there:) On-site restaurant convenient at times.”
