Located in beautiful Escazu, one Costa Rica's finest residential areas. Hotel's great location, close to important shopping, business and entertainment centers, is another important reason to stay there.

Furthermore, Escazu's mild, comfortable climate makes for a great and relaxing setting from which to admire the nearby mountain landscape.

The hotel was beautiful. But, it was much further from the airport than indicated on the [...]site. It took 45 minutes to get there from the airport.

Caring staff...

Initially we were given a very noisy room. When we complained they not only moved us, they upgraded our accommodations. From beginning to end of our 7 night stay the staff was friendly, helpful, & kept everything clean. The front desk gave us information ranging from rental cars, bus routes & day trips; to good salsa dancing spots. Our 2 bedroom 2 bath suite was spacious with real wood doors, floors, & trim. The kitchen was amply supplied. While there were plenty of windows our unit only had a view of a small garden area. The buffet breakfast included fresh fruits & juices, yogurt, breads & jams, cereals, & croissants. The barrista made fresh expresso, cappuccino, & cafe Americano to order. The only thing I missed was oatmeal. The gym had treadmills, bikes, step machine, free weights, machine weights, a stretching area, & a wall mirror to see your beautiful body...:) We only used the larger of the 2 pools. It was heated & long enough for a good lap swim. The jacuzzi was well heated. During the day the wind did blow a few leaves into both, so don't be surprised to find them. I would return here in a N.Y. minute!

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

You do not need a car in San Jose. There is a bus stop in front of the Apartotel which take you anywhere in the city. There is a Mas x Menos grocery about 1/2 mile east of the hotel. They have a good selection & prices are decent.

great times!

Overall, cannot ask for a better staff than this! So helpful from the point i arrived at the airport to my last hour in the lobby waiting to depart. Location is great but u will definately need to either ride a taxi or rent a car. I got a private tour of San Jose with a cab driver and only paid 40 bucks! Reason for that was that I only stayed here for a days for business. Regardless of that, I also believe breakfast was the best part of my day!

Spacious, Comfortable Suites

The staff was wonderful, especially Eunice. She even took time to call me about tours when she was at home and not working. She definitely went above and beyond. It would be nice if it had a restaurant of some sort and it was very loud, but I think everywhere is loud, so no big deal. The suite was very spacious and comfortable.

Great business trip

I stayed at the Aparthotel-Villas Del Rio in San Jose, Costa Rica for a few days and the location was very convenient to everything. The staff was friendly and courteous and the room was immaculate. A little short on bathroom counter space but all in all a very good value. I would stay there again.

Good price/quality relation

Good. Nice staff, all included in the fare (taxes, shuttle, breakfast, internet) Bad. Some problems with Internet, a lot of noise of the street enters the rooms.

Very Big Rooms Its like a home!

Hotel was nice, very large rooms, close to everything. They have contracted to have all kinds of food delivered if you want. My only complaint was pillows were very hard.

A nice surprise in San José

A wonderful place for holidays or business. The rooms are big and equipped with stove and cooktop, a wonderful detail for vegetarians like me that like to cook their own food. The overall atmosphere was quiet, secure and business like even though there were many tourist and kids/teenagers. The stuff was impeccable and friendly and made me feel like a king. Do not skip the delicious breakfast buffet!

Excellent Hotel.

Our staying at this hotel was fantastic,customer service excellent,breakfast very rich. The only one suggestion we've is if they can change the bed (at least in room 112).
