Very helpful and friendly manager who went above and beyond in welcoming us, even upgrading us free of charge to an apartment when he realised it would suit us better. Gorgeous pool which the kids loved. Fresh coconuts by the pool. Perfect for our short stay.
Breakfast was more than sufficiant, with two different style pancakes to order, eggs cooked various ways, plantain, fruit salad and more
Cute little town near the airport. Probably not a destination, but, if you have a night to kill before flying out, it's fine. Otherwise, there isn't anything I know of to draw visitors. Couple cute restaurants on the main street. Felt safe walking around after dark.

We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do.
We did more in San Antonio than we expected to do. The church in the center of town was welcoming, and there are a lot of restaurants with good food and service. The bussing to other areas (San Jose and Heredia) is well marked and has an appropriate schedule. Plus, the area felt safe to walk after sunset. Because of its convivence, we extended our hotel stay to stay in the area, and only bussed to San Jose for the day.

For us La Rivera is a take off and arrival point, so the easy airport access is important. It is an easy walk to a phone store or Pali supermarket for some basics, and the local pista, church and park give you a safe introduction to Costa Rica. There is not much else to do in the immediate area.
This hotel was a gem! The photos did not do it justice. We booked it for our last night in Costa Rica and enjoyed it greatly. The surroundings and decor were tasteful. My husband also enjoyed a dip in the pool.
A big thank you to the staff members as they were exceptionally nice and helpful - I don't like coriander and the staff members did everything to make sure I would have no coriander in my food. If we go back to Costa Rica we will book a longer stay in this hotel as they also organise wildlife trips.
The lady checking us in was very friendly and helpful. She was also very kind to let us check into our room early. She also made sure to show us the room and made sure that everything was clean and working well inside. The room was also a great size and it included a full kitchen with appliances. That was a nice bonus. There is also an excellent local restaurant right across the street from the hotel, which was very convenient.
I like to stay close to the airport the night before departure and the La Riviera was close enough for convenience but far enough away that I don't hear Jets talking off all night. It was perfect for this.
They also had a great restaurant/wine bar attached to the hotel, with the option of outdoor seating, and breakfast was included.
There were nice sitting areas around the pool and it was clean and crystal clear
Had to leave at 03.00 so no breakfast, but porter made us a coffee whilst we waited for taxi. The hotel had an old-world feel - was spacious and the room was comfortable and clean. There was a decent-sized pool which we didn't have time to use. We had dinner almost immediately after arrival which was tasty and plentiful. The staff were friendly and obliging.
We liked the on-site restaurant which is in a separate building in a large open air space. The staff communicated with us everyday to ask about our dining preferences for the next meal. For us, the hotel was just a convenient overnighter near the airport, but we could have stayed here comfortably for much longer.
This place was just what we needed after a long flight. They pick you up from the airport. The beds were very comfy, nice shower and nice outside area where we could chill out and meet with our car rental guy. It exceeded our expectations for a kind of airport hotel. The breakfast was very nice.
Rachel the receptionist was just wonderful and the rooms were large and very well cleaned. In terms of proximity to the airport the hotel works - a short taxi ride. The hotel has a lovely pool and everything it needs to be a really great choice - yet I wouldn't choose it a second time.
Comfortable room. Roomy, free shuttle to and from the airport. Connected to the hotel is a great restaurant, and bakery and bar. Excellent food and service and open late. Breakfast at the restaurant was included and was good. Staff is friendly. I probably will return.
The hotel is close to the airport. It has unlimited water and coffee at the reception. The staff is kind and helpful. I would suggestion learning some Spanish words here. The private room is quite big and has everything you may need as well as ventilation.
Very kind staff. The hotel is very close to the airport and they have a free shuttle service which is very convenient. We had to leave earlier than breakfast time and they gave me coffee and fruit to go which was nice. Rooms are simple but clean.
The Rivera hotel is a great choice for anyone heading to or from the Alajuela airport. The airport is only around 5-10 min by car/ shuttle. They provide an airport shuttle for free. The restaurant served an amazing Tico style breakfast.
Ideal small boutique Hotel, awesome Restaurant on the property with Italian food. Excellent coffee, pastries, plus enjoyed a great dinner there before our flight home the next day. Transfer shuttle included to and from Airport!
Great one night stay hotel. Close to the airport. Clean room, good breakfast, and the most important thing is free shuttle. The shuttle even drove us to the car rental in the morning. Thank you for that!
The staff that checked us in were very nice and the hotel is ok for one night. there is a cute pool and the airport shuttle is nice although free the driver asked for money.
Loved it - could’ve stayed longer :-) Such a great hotel with lovely staff, incredibly spacious rooms and perfect location for an overnight stay ahead of an AM flight!
