This place is a hidden gem in the city. Once you're inside it is like a small very secure and semi-private resort. It is well maintained and beautiful inside. Food served was perfect and the staff is so friendly. I got lucky finding this place and if you're staying in San Jose this is a great place to be.

This was my second stay at Hotel Villa Los Candiles, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. The hotel is wonderfully quiet, the rooms are spacious, and the bed is incredibly comfortable, I slept like a rock!

What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Olga and Arlen in the restaurant are exceptional. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine effort to make every guest feel at home is something you rarely find. They made each meal feel special and personal.

I came back because of how great my first stay was and this visit just confirmed it: Villa Los Candiles is a true gem. I’ll definitely return again.

Tienen que revisar porque está publicado que te dan el desayuno incluido en Expedia, sin embargo, cuando hicimos el check in nos dieron que no lo incluía y hasta el 2do día lo verificaron con Expedia y si ya lo incluyeron, pero honestamente fue una mala experiencia.

Im blown away by \"Exceptional\" reviews on various sites. To be fair, the guy at the reception did everything he could. We had to change room FOUR times. One had a smelly carpet. Another one didnt drain water in the sink. Third one smelled musty and had stains on the curtains and walls. Basic rooms are tiny with zero decoration on white walls. By whose standards are they exceptional? This is Motel 6 level in the US. In the end they upgraded us for a bigger room for the inconvenience but when we were about to take a shower it turned out there was no hot water, the whole building was \"solar powered\". The only solution they could offer us at this point was to take a shower in another building in the room with non working sink.

The family suite was exceptional. Service was top tier from all angles. Breakfast is typical costa rican food which I liked. Security on site all evenings which was a nice touch. Neighborhood is walkable. We spent a good amount of time walking back and forth to restaurants and it was completely safe.

Wondering about the additional fees

The hotel was in good condition and the room I selected was spacious and clean. However, I was charged an additional $113 dollars because we traveled in a party of THREE for a room that could hold 5-6 people. There were two double beds and a sleeper sofa.

Had a lovely stay with my mom in February. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helped us get our bags up to the room. The room was clean and air conditioned and had a great big window with a beautiful mountain view. In the morning, the kitchen staff were extremely pleasant and made our breakfast to order. My only complaint was that the shower was set up a little awkwardly and had trouble draining properly, resulting in a puddle at our feet whilst we showered. Overall, it was a very nice stay and I would definitely stay here again.

Don’t stay

Terrible experience . Stayed here a few times before would not return. Check in was great. Go to the bar at 5pm for a drink after a long drive - bar closed until 6 pm . Ok no worries let me order something to eat - closed until 6 as well. Went out to eat instead. Bed was hard as a board. Pillows old. Dog barking in one of the rooms. Asked to move was told you are leaving in the morning anyway . That was not the point. Will not return and do not recommend.

Wonderful hotel. Beds were very comfortable, room was super clean, breakfast was wonderful.
Rooms are very large and represented well in pictures.

The only negative was our sink was clogged and therefore we could not brush teeth in room or wash hands. We called front desk our fist night to help us unclog it and they promised to come right away and never showed up. The next day we called again and they did fix it - but we were checking out an hour later.

Other than sink issue- it was a wonderful stay. Pricing is a little high compared to other hotels in area but would for sure stay again.

A quiet, amazing and affordable property

This property is amazing. Great service, very quiet and clean. Facilities are modern. My wife had just had surgery and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodated some special requests. Breakfast was not a buffet, but quite tasty, nevertheless. A minor complaint: next time, put the towel bar somewhere besides in front of the sink. Without hesitation, though, we would stay there again and will recommend it to our friends.

They are very polite people. We felt like we were welcomed there. The lighting was very poor in the suite, we had to turn on al the light to try to see, there was only one tv it was in the bedroom, no extra bedding, only 2 towels and we had to purchase wash clothes. But those are minor compared to how we were treated when we left our friendly hotel and went out among the people.

Beautifully presented, clean hotel but...

I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel near San Jose airport. It is a beautiful looking hotel and is in a very quiet area. Although this one was good value for where it was, about 4 miles away from the airport, little did I know was that it was going to take 40 minutes and $25 to get to the airport - I could have stayed in San Jose (same price to get to the airport). So not their fault as such, just pointing this out. As I had pre-paid I didn't want to pay again for another hotel.

I was a late check-in so didn't use the swimming pool/restaurant/bar. The desk shuts at 10pm, so if you have any issues with the room it'll have to wait until the morning (as the night person could only speak spanish and I have a little spanish but not enough), so as I was staying only one night, this was an issue. NOTE I am not talking about emergency situations as I'm sure this would be handled appropriately.

My room had a single width connecting door and although was locked, made it really noisy in that you could hear everything going on in the next room (TV, shower etc)! And if I could hear them, they could hear me! I suppose with the hotel being so quiet, it was easier to be noisy, if that makes sense.

All parts of the property, both inside and out, were kept constantly clean and attractive. Service at the front desk and restaurant were friendly and responsive. The room was spacious and well supplied, and air conditioning, although seldom needed, was very effective. One minor oddity was that although there were plenty of towels, there were no washcloths in the room. The room rate was extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Santa Ana!

The hotel environment was excellent, very clean, and staff was very friendly and accommodating with recommendations of things to do in the area. A good amount of distance from airport to get to the hotel but rented a car so it was convenient to drive to. Might want to check if hotel shuttle is available before hand, or how much it would be to take uber from airport to hotel. Hotel room was spotless, bed was comfortable, no issues observed with the room.

Apartment style hotel privately located

The hotel and staff are excellent. The shower is the highlight of the room, bed is cozy, good desk space for working. The one I’d love that is lacking is if the room came with a couple bottles of water like most hotels in Costa Rica do. There’s also no fridge so if you get drinks or yogurt from the store, you can’t keep them cold. They price equally to Le Loft and Studio hotel, both where I’ve stayed in the past year on separate trips. A few small improvements and they can be at a similar standard as those.

The room was just average. The walls are very thin so you can head when people talk or shut their doors. We had ants in our first room and the front desk was very nice and moved us next door. However there were things in one room that weren’t in the other so we basically were back and forth from room to room which was kind of annoying. Rooms were average but the receptionist was really nice.

Nice hotel, poor design

The hotel is fairly new and has beautiful layouts and gardens.
The rooms are clean and neat, out main concern was that our room was located in the bottom floor, so it was very noisy do to people walking and moving in the room on top of ours. This is very unpleasant, because we were woken up at 4:00 am, as people upstairs were getting ready to leave!
So unfortunately there was so much noise from the upstairs room, that we did not sleep very well.
