Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at the Courtyard by Marriott San José Airport Alajuela. It was the perfect choice for our final night in Costa Rica, especially with an early morning flight the next day. The hotel was clean, comfortable and very conveniently located near the airport. One of the biggest bonuses for us was having Walmart right next door, which made it extremely easy to pick up any last-minute items before traveling home. The location is excellent, the rooms were comfortable, and everything we needed was close by. After traveling from Tamarindo, it was nice to have somewhere convenient and relaxing to settle in before our flight. I would definitely recommend this hotel, particularly if you need somewhere to stay before or after a flight from SJO. The airport convenience plus Walmart next door made it a winner for us! 🇨🇷✈️"

"The staff was so kind and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was so comfortable. The soaps and shampoos (locally made in Costa Rica) smelled so good we wanted to eat them, especially the banana conditioner. The view from the back garden was extraordinary. The only negative was that there was nowhere to walk when you left the hotel however there was a cute coffee trail in the back"

It allows for easy strolls to local eateries and provides a taste of local life without being too far from regional attractions.
When is the best time to go to San Rafael?
