A former hacienda set on a 30-acre coffee plantation, this hotel features 2 outdoor swimming pools, a golf driving range and a coffee-inspired spa. Downtown San Jose is about 15 minutes’ drive away.

The Kuö Spa at Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San Jose offers a wide variety of body and beauty treatments using coffee, volcanic ash and other natural ingredients from Costa Rica.

The hotel is beautiful, and has two beautiful pools - one in the jungle and one on the beach. My room was really comfortable, and the staff were all lovely. The Hotel is in the jungle, and the restaurant & beach club are on the other side of the Road which has a big lawn area with lots of seating and a fabulous pool (just for residents) in addition to the beach. There was a sloth mooching about in the tree by the restaurant, and lots of beautiful birds, including a toucan, to watch. I had a really nice massage in the jungle spa, and went on a tour with 'Jungle Man' to the indigenous village, BriBri, where we learned about Chocolate making and got an interesting insight into how the indigenous community use the jungle plants for medicinal and culinary purposes. The tour also includes a swim in the BriBri Waterfalls - all in all a great day out - I highly recommend it.

    The staff were wonderful and amenable, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy, and they gave us really good tips on places to eat and how to get around to various museums and sites in San Jose. The hotel has the feel of a fancy house, rather than a corporate resort, which makes it feel cozy and home-like. Their pool has breathtaking views of the city and mountains. The dog and cats on site are adorable. We loved it all!

    The structure of the hotel and its atmosphere are a resort. The hotel name-wise, we did expect a reasonable stay near the airport before picking up a car. But we wanted to stay longer at better room enjoying this atmosphere.

    After travelling for weeks, I was very pleased to find a bath in the room, hot water, no insects, working air conditioning, a fridge and a coffee machine. And a massive bed! Luxury!

    There was so much to choose from on the breakfast buffet. The breakfast is included. The pool and fountains made the hotel feel resort like.

    Nice resort with huge rooms, very clean and the most comfy bed we had in ages. Arrived late and tired, check in went smooth and fast. Breakfast available for USD 12. Pool looked nice and clean as far as we could see. Easy to reach from the airport (taxi between CAC 17'000 and 20'000) but still quiet.
