Terrazas de Golf Boutique Hotel offers direct access to Cariari Golf Course and transportation to Juan Santamaría International Airport, which is 5 km away. It offers free WiFi, massage, free parking and 24-hour reception. Cecelia, her staff and her children Irene and Roberto went above and beyond on my stay. I felt cared for like an intimate family member. Classical music playing in the morning and her staff providing food to the birds and squirrels each morning from the breakfast view made me feel like I was in a storybook.

With a restaurant, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a city view. Family run and so friendly and safe. Loved the garden & inside outside vibe. The area is gorgeous and has great shops & restaurants. Breakfast is huge, but you can tailor it to your needs. Poor dad went from trying to feed me everything to 2 perfectly boiled eggs. A great base in San Jose and a very nice neighbourhood.

The bed and breakfast boasts a variety of wellness options, including spa facilities, wellness packages and yoga classes. You can play table tennis and darts at this 4-star bed and breakfast, and the area is popular for hiking and walking tours. A water park and an indoor play area are available for guests at the bed and breakfast. Everything - Laurie and Miriam are FABULOUS in every way. I felt like I was at home, or perhaps staying with a favourite aunt. It felt like home. And the breakfast, oh dear - it's a shared table (not great if you're not a morning person, but I muddled through and thoroughly enjoyed it) and Laurie moaned that she "didn't have much this morning" and then served up enough food to feed a horde of hungry adolescents. Love all the animals, the terrace is magical...I could go on. So very glad I found this place and I'll see you next year :-)
