Top hotels in Zapote
Barceló San José
A nice hotel, but the check in was terrible. There was only one desk clerk on duty, and she spent at least 40 minutes trying to help one couple. The rest of us (15-20 people) had to wait in line for our rooms. (10:30 pm and tired from a long flight.)

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport
Very convenient. Right across the car rental (walkable) and a short ride to the airport. Free shuttle 24/7 and a breakfast to go if your flight is before their opening time. 👍
