The property is very unique in that you will see wildlife everywhere. People who have issues walking should avoid the villas . There are just too many steep steps leading to the main lodge. The roads are not paved so be prepared for bumpy rides.

The most affordable Alajuela vacation package is $592, so your dream trip can become a reality — without the high price tag. Combine flights, hotels and car rentals to build a package that suits your travel style.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Alajuela?
Bundle your bookings with Expedia to save big on your next getaway.

What are the top hotels in Alajuela?
If you’d like to stay in the Carmen neighborhood, some great options are Hotel La Guaria Inn & Suites and Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House. Agonían is also a popular Alajuela area. We recommend Hotel Bamboo Aeropuerto or Hotel Pibi Boreal if you prefer this part of town.
How far in advance should I book my Alajuela vacation?
Reserving your tickets early with Expedia means one less thing to have to worry about. A number of air carriers advertise prices up to 12 months in advance. This is often the cheapest time to book. If circumstances have left you booking late, discount flights to Alajuela sometimes emerge a few weeks before departure.

With Expedia, you can choose a combination of flights, hotels and car rentals to build your perfect Alajuela travel package. Once you’ve made your booking, you can add on the fun stuff like tours and activities. Remember, the more you bundle, the greater the savings!
What should I know before booking an Alajuela travel package?
Get ready to save with an Expedia travel package. Bundle your airfares, rental cars and hotels and be rewarded with fantastic discounts. Hotels aren’t your only choice, however. Book with us and take your pick of beachside condos, cabins in the mountains and even ranches and treehouses!
Can I choose my airline with an Alajuela Expedia vacation package?
Yes — and it’s easy too. Expedia has access to more than 550 partner airlines worldwide. Our packages give you the flexibility to take your pick of available flight, hotel or activity options that fit your needs.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Alajuela vacation package?
Don’t stress if you’re rethinking your Alajuela vacation package — it’s possible to change or amend your booking. And if you’ve booked it within the last 24 hours, you may be able to do it at no cost. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur fees from your airline, hotel or car rental company. We realize your circumstances can suddenly change, so head to our Customer Service Portal if that happens. When you’re ready to make changes, we’ll take care of it.
