Top Vara Blanca Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"Un hôtel correct pour passer une ou deux nuits. Les installations sont vieillissantes et la chambre, bien que spacieuse, n’était pas super propre. Un hôtel qui mériterait un peu de rénovations. Mais l’emplacement est pratique."

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

"We stay here every time we fly in or out of the city. Very convenient location with 24 hr free shuttle to the airport. Staff are always friendly and breakfast buffet is a bonus."

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is always very helpful, cheery and accomodating. Checkin is always a breeze, the shuttle for the Gastronomic Route is efficient and reliable to take us to quality food options (rePUBlic is a favourite) and the breakfast is healthy, plentiful and well cared for by the staff (Minor was a kind and caring manager of the food and gave us nice insights into the various fruits available). Bravo team Alajuela HI."
