Family run BnB in exquisite forest/garden setting 15 min from airport. Enjoy costa rican coffee and french croissants on your balcony watching birds before you take off for airport. Family are wonderful hosts and offer one-way transport to/from airport.
Amazing room overlooking a great view. Owners were very friendly and helpful with providing information on things to do in the area and transport to the airport.
We enjoyed being near the airport but away from the traffic and congestion. It was a treat to wake in the morning in the treetops, with breakfast on the balcony! The staff was very helpful as well.

What a beautiful and welcoming property! It is a secret hideaway in beautiful surroundings of greenery and flora.
This place is beautiful! We arrived very late and the hosts were so kind and made sure we had a quick check in and breakfast at our selected time. the directions took us straight there. the property is stunning and it really feels like you are right in the jungle. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a place with airport accessibility but does not want to be in the city. we hope to return!
The couple that runs this place are both kind and helpful.
The grounds are lovely! If you're looking for a place to stay before or after the airport, it's a way to continue to get the beautiful nature offered by Costa Rica but still be very close to the airport (and a shuttle is provided!).
Stayed one nt after late for into SJO. Helped arrange airport xfer and stayed up until our arrival. Would describe the views as Garden View…well kept gardens
This place was beautiful and the owners were so nice and accommodating! Very much enjoyed our stay here and recommend it to anyone wanting the tranquility of a bed and breakfast in Costa Rica.
This family owned hotel is very convenient to the airport without feeling like you're right next to the airport. The grounds were beautiful and the owners were very kind. They let me check-in early and check-out later (I think also because I went during low season). They also provide one-way transport to or from the airport as well as a breakfast of coffee, fruit, toast, and jam.
A lovely spot to stay as you fly in or out of SJO. It is run by a wonderful family and friendly staff. The rooms are well designed, each with a private balcony. Quality textiles and plumbing fixtures. Breakfast is delivered to your door so you can enjoy eating out on the balcony. Be aware that sounds do travel well between rooms, we arrived late and I think it was likely that our neighbors would have been able to hear us walking around and speaking quietly. I would have loved to arrive earlier to explore the property gardens and just relax on the balcony. I hope to return someday!
