"I stayed at Selina/Socialtel San Jose for about a week until the 28th of January 2025 and my Spirit Animal for the stay was a Sloth because I did mostly nothing in the morning, then took a rest in the afternoon. One might not think this a feasible feat in a city such as San Jose. But, I accepted the challenge and made good on it. Mae, aquí pulseándola! I've stayed here at this property many times since my first time in 2019 or 2020. And, the staff has always been welcoming. It was fun to hang...

3.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (128)
"I stayed for 3 nights at Selina and my experience was wonderful! The hotel had a lovely, clean room and the hotel grounds were lush, beautiful and green. Getting around by foot is a bit difficult given how remote the hotel is but you are across the street from a shuttle that can take you directly to the cloud forest, the hotel has a transit stop outside of it and the hotel can provide you with a reliable, safe ride share option. There is also a restaurant on site where you can get very good...

The Nomadic Hotel

3.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (85)
"I would absolutely stay at The Nomadic again. The location is great for both beach and restaurants. The ambiance is boutique chill. I loved the layout with most rooms having front porches facing the pool and also a private back patio. There are several cozy areas to play games or read. Breakfast was good- they served just one option but it did vary by day. One yoga class was included per day and I enjoyed all except the breath work (not my thing so I don’t do it). One day they ran out of coffee...

Téva Eco Retreat - Hostel

2.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (73)
"We stayed at Teva for 3 nights near the end of our trip and overall enjoyed the stay. The Good - the rooms are clean but very basic. Ours was one with a ceiling fan and aircon (AC essential in this location i think). The pool area was nice, and there were various places to sit in the grounds. You could also use the kitchen area if needed. We saw monkeys and iguanas in the grounds. There were trails in the ground too but it was too wet for us to explore these. The not so Good - it was the most...
