This was the perfect place to stay after we landed in CR. We got there at 10:45 pm and we were greeted by our host Margarite and one of her super friendly dogs. We were offered food and beverages which was very kind of her at such a late hour. The room was more than we even needed and we had a great sleep. Breakfast was delicious and we headed out shortly thereafter to catch the Ferry to get to Santas Tresea. Perfect location not too far from the airport but you get out of the hustle and bustle and an easy drive from there to our next destination. Make sure you use Waze for directions. There is no sign at the road for the hotel but once you get down a short lane way you will see it!

Not great
I am quite surprised by the many good reviews - my experience was a bit different. We arrived late and were greeted by somebody who immediately wanted to upsell us on a room that really wasn’t much different. The room itself: small, the glass sliding door was tough to operate, the gate could not close because of alignment issues, the light switch cover fell off the wall, there were dead bugs on the side of the bed, and there was no water coming from the shower. We did not ask for help since we didn’t really have much time there, but for the price we paid we did expect more … Having said that, the grounds were cute, lots of flowers, nice walkways, and seating areas.

Margarite was a friendly and amazing host who greeted us personally as soon as we arrived. She was over the top accommodating in all aspects of our stay! We love animals so we enjoyed her dogs and cats and chickens running all over the place! Her breakfasts were great and the whole place was very quaint and rustic. Even in August it was cool on the mountain so having no air conditioning was not a problem.

This is a very welcoming place to stay with friendly pets - made us feel at home although had all the character of a costa rican villa! We would book here again in a heartbeat! My boys loved the extra space on the grounds and breakfast and patios with hammocks were a treat!

Our 1st time in Costa Rica for a family wedding. Stayed here because it was only 20 minutes from the Int’l Airport after a long day of travel and another day of driving ahead. Margarita is an excellent hostess/owner who was very helpful and kind. Her property is “boho-chique” with rescue dogs that act as ambassadors and chickens that lay eggs for guests to dine on at breakfast; which was excellent, fresh and included with the stay. The tower & view of the volcano was spectacular, pool was nice & clean to cool down in, bar/dining area lends great vibes. Rooms were clean, comfortable & decorated in fun rainforest themes with giant fans to cool you off (no air conditioning) so you could hear the nights creatures singing you to sleep. It was such a wonderful experience that we booked to stay with her on our last night before we left. A truly special place. Highly recommend.

Thank you Margarita!
This was another ordinary hotel. I thought I was just reserving a place to crash after we arrived on a late flight into San Jose, but it was such an oasis! I can’t say enough about Margarita, who welcomed us late at night and cooked us delicious dinner. Then, the next morning, there was strolling around the beautiful property, lounging with coffee on the patio, swimming, and another delicious breakfast. What an amazing hostess and property! our four-year-old was in heaven playing on the playground, with the chickens and the dogs, and just enjoying the Pura Vida hospitality.

The rooms do not have doors only sliding glass doors. You cannot lock the door from the inside that I could tell. The lock was a padlock with key on the outside. No air conditioning so windows left open. Very noisy due to dogs on property and can hear everything due to close proximity to the gathering area. Margarita is lovely and welcoming.

Villa Margarita is the dream of a kind Dutch woman who, along with an excellent staff and several rescue dogs, does everything she can to make her guests feel like friends visiting her home rather than just staying in the hotel. The grounds are lush with tropical landscaping, the common outdoor dining area is the focus where delicious breakfasts are served and strangers become friends over a cold beer. The rooms are simple, but cozy (she could upgrade the pillows, however). The swimming pool is relaxing and the bustle and chaos of San Jose seems many miles away even though Villa Margarita is just 10 minutes from the international airport. Our family had a fantastic time there. The "zoo" Rescue center is just around the corner. This made our trip even better. Highly recommended over staying in the city. Tranquil and awesome.
