9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (11 reviews)
"Would highly recommend this place. The owners just couldn't be nicer or more helpful. The cabins are bright, comfortable, and clean. The location is convenient to the Mirador de Ujarras and the Ruinas de Ujarras as well as multiple good restaurants. The citrus trees on the grounds attract lots of interesting birds. We saw at least 35 species from our porch. Hanging out with their adorable, super friendly Doberman was a big bonus for us."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San Rafael?
For travelers seeking a convenient and comfortable base in San Rafael, the best area to stay is near the main road, Route 3.

This area provides straightforward access to both the city center and the highway for day trips. You'll find a selection of hotels, local restaurants, and essential services along this corridor, making it practical for those who plan to explore the region by car. It's a good choice for solo travelers who appreciate ease of navigation and a central location for exploring.

Families will find the areas slightly off Route 3, particularly those closer to local parks or residential sections, to be a good fit. These spots often offer a more quiet environment and are still within easy reach of amenities.
When is the best time to go to San Rafael?
The best time to visit San Rafael, San José Province, Costa Rica is during the dry season, which runs from December to April. This period offers consistently sunny weather and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the region.

Travelers seeking optimal weather for exploring coffee plantations or hiking in nearby natural areas will find December through April particularly suitable. The lower humidity and minimal rainfall ensure comfortable conditions for day trips and outdoor excursions without the interruption of daily downpours that characterize the green season.

While the dry season is popular, those looking for a quieter experience and don't mind occasional rain showers might consider the shoulder months of May and November.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in San Rafael.
