The area is fun and easy to get around.
The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.GenesisCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

I only walked around the immediate area of the hotel . I had no need to explore the town as I had a demanding schedule upon arrival and prior to departure . This was just super convenient to the airport.MarcoPacoUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
It’s the best location to stay on your first night,...
It’s the best location to stay on your first night, especially if you arrive in the evening and don’t have an “all inclusive“ vacation booked; and best location for your last night in Costa Rica, due to the proximity to the airport. Be warned, the red taxis are really expensive and Uber drivers are allowed to drop you off at the airport, but are not allowed to pick you up from the airport. Most places that offer accommodation, also offer a pickup service from the airport. Take it. The closer to the airport, the cheaper they get; prices start at $5 and could get to $35, $40 US dollars , depending on the distance to the airport. Most rental cars offices are around the airport, so, look for a place to stay not too far away from the airport and one that offers drop off to a rental car office. If not, it’s always an Uber driver available. The closer to the airport, the better, for first and last night stay, because driving in the city could take a veeeeeery long time. If you have time, walk the streets of Alajuela, people are very friendly and ready to help. Be very careful, the water tranches along the pedestrian walkways, are very deep, and the holes on the uneven pavement are deep as well, but definitely go to the city’s fresh market; it is a very interesting experience. Make sure you calculate well the prices, from corones into dollars, lots of vendors will try to take advantage of you, if you don’t pay attention. You can pay in US dollars everywhere, except for buses (long distance or local buses); the dollar bills must be pristine, one little tear anywhere on the bill, will be refused. All in all is a nice city full of hustle and bustle, with lots of cars and people, with little parks with amazing trees, lots of perrots, delicious fresh fruits and gelatosAAnonymous - 6.0Scored 6.0

Quite noisy and a bit dirty. People are nice, but food was a disappointment - it was almost impossible to find fresh vegetarian food that hadn’t been processed. Everything was fried in grease and had meat in it.RitvanenCosta Rica - 10Scored 10

A horrible crowded traffic-glutted ugly town, which however has a great bookstore - Goodlight books - and a noisy rather grim organic cafe called Chante with really good food and vegan ice cream, but the traffic outside is awful. Rorro's Mexican restaurant was warm-hearted and fun but lots of fried stuff and the veggie tacos were horrible, with rubbery eggplant. The french fries were awful compared to the ones at Chante. My friend found driving in Alajuela a nightmare.Irene Z KUnited Kingdom

- From $248.96 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 483 reviewsI loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.CeciliaFrance
- From $143.74 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,068 reviewsBest Marriott hotel I've stayed at! We were only there one night before flying out of San Jose! Elegant and modern rooms and really comfortable bead! Plus they had a delicious espresso machine on our floor, where you could get some tasty drinks for free at any time of the day. The free airport shuttle is also very reliable and runs frequently! Staff was very nice and helpful! We had dinner at the restaurant onsite and the food was great!

The owners are super helpful and friendly. My bag was damaged and the lady sewed it for me!! What a great service. They took care of a taxi, which they called for me the next day. Wonderful place, next to supermarket and restaurants. Quite zone. Close to the airport. The price is worth it. I recommend it for women who travel alone. It is a safe area and the hotel is secure.
PetraGermany - From $99.99 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,224 reviewsGreat location in the heart of downtown Alajuela. Friendly staff, albeit slow check-in process. That said, a great spot for an overnight before or after a flight. Certainly, one of the best options in Alajuela (going on 14 years of living in Costa Rica and flying in/out of SJO regularly) that isn't absurdly priced like a $200 Holiday Inn. Included transport to the airport and breakfast are a huge bonus for this price!
travisequalitydayCosta Rica - From $148.88 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 3,789 reviewsVery friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is 2 mins from the airport with a free 24/7 shuttle service, so this is a great option if you arrive late or depart early from SJO. Alajuela downtown, mall and bus terminals are a short 3-5 min taxi ride. We stayed there for the first and last night of our trip and left some luggage in between, which is possible without a charge.
