Tacacori EcoLodge, hotel in Alajuela City

Tacacori EcoLodge is set in the Alajuela Hills, 15 minutes' drive from Juan Santamaría Internatrional Airport and only at 30 minutes' drive from Poas Volcano site.

We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Costa Rica than our stay at Nadine’s Paradise! Despite our flight delay, Nadine kindly picked us up at midnight, and we woke up to breathtaking scenery with exotic birds all around. Even the heavy rain couldn’t dampen the beauty of this place. Nadine is a warm and thoughtful host who goes out of her way to make her guests feel welcome. We’re already hoping to book our last night here on our way back to the airport. Such a special place—merci beaucoup, Nadine! 💚

Private rooms in a house by San Jose airport and on the way to Poas volcano, hotel in Alajuela City

Located in Alajuela City, Private rooms in a house by San Jose airport and on the way to Poas volcano offers accommodation with a terrace or a balcony, free WiFi and flat-screen TV, as well as an...

It is a beautiful room surrounded by beautiful houses with an amazing view, swimming pool and a BBQ ranch. If traveling with cats, this place is the best, because it is quiet so they don't get any nervous and the bed doesn't have spaces below where they can hide. My cat adapted almost immediately to the installations, which is not common to happen. Highly recommended for people arriving or leaving the country, because it is nearby the airport.

What a beautiful spot ! The river along the cabin, the pond with the animals and the waterfall nearby are so charming. I wish I would have stay more than a night because I would have like to enjoy more all the facilities around and the beautiful surroundings.

    Close to the airport, a great dip in the pool, a delicious breakfast, a responsive and welcoming host...we couldn't have asked for more! The host even helped us order late night pizza since we got into San Jose a bit late. We all agreed that upon returning to Costa Rica, we will definitely always land at Uruka Lodge!

    The views were beautiful, and the bathroom was very nice. However, it was more of an AirBnB than a lodge, which was not what we expected. The gate only intermittently worked, the key to the room was in a Masterbox, and there was no shampoo for the shower.

    Great location, really close to the airport. Had great mountain and city views, our lodge had an amazing view from the bed! and I would recommend eating dinner in the restaurant - delicious and stunning views. Lovely hiking trails to the waterfalls and three beautiful pools.

    We loved everything about our stay at Tacacori EcoLodge: the small house we stayed in, the breakfast on a small terrace with a beautiful view and breathtaking garden with birds all around. Very helpful owner with a lot of recommendations for the area. That's an oasis which is a great place to relax before or after your flight.

    Uruka lodge is a very cute family owned place located close to San José. The room was somewhat comfortable and very clean. The owners were the most helpful people, they suggested restaurants for us and offered a shuttle service to the airport even if our flight was very early in the morning! The pool was clean and the place was calm and lovely. You will also meet the cutest two little dogs: Pickett and Bella 🥰 I totally recommend for a short stay around San José.

    So close to San Jose, yet it felt like we were in the rainforest away from civilization. Beautiful lodges in a stunning garden, and looked after by wonderful hosts.
