Top San Rafael Hotel Reviews

Hotel Oasis del Pacífico

10/10 Excellent

"Really central location and room had plenty of space. Pool was a hit with the kids"

Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Exelente servicio"

Hotel Cayuga

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buenas instalaciones"

Hotel Villa Caletas

10/10 Excellent

"The view was incredible! I could spend four days by the pool. It was great to have the shuttle (4x4) to the beach. It is not a swimming beach at all, but it is great for watching the waves and reading a book. Drinks were delicious, though the good was hit or miss. (The tuna tartare was incredible; the seafood platter was a sad disappointment.) The staff were very kind and helpful and there was yoga on the weekends with a transcendent view."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at La Vida Mountain Resort and Spa. We particularly enjoyed the evenings watching spectacular thunderstorms flashing in distant skies over other valleys while there was not a drop of rain where we were. The food was consistently very good and the staff always friendly and helpful. We would definitely return."
