The views are gorgeous, the room comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious.

If you have sensitive skin be cautious with the hot tub, I reacted to something in the water, but that's not unusual for me, and my husband was fine. A rinse off in the room and some login, and I was fine the next morning.

Best hotel experience

5 stars – Best Hotel Experience in Costa Rica!
I’ve stayed at a few different hotels in Costa Rica, but Vista Canyon Inn stands out as the absolute best. From the moment I arrived, the experience was smooth, relaxing, and incredibly welcoming. The staff was so accommodating—always friendly and ready to help with anything I needed. The atmosphere was peaceful and perfect for unwinding, whether by the pool or just enjoying the beautiful surroundings. I truly had a wonderful experience and can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll definitely be coming back! Also the most amazing views!

The property itself is very cleaned with beautiful garden, great view of the canyon and great staff. The street leading to the hotel has several empty lots full of trash. It is not advisable to walk at night. The hotel has no dining. There is a restaurant on the main road not too far from the hotel, but the menu is very limited and the food is average. This place is good for one or 2 nights.

Outstanding, relaxing & excellent

Everything was outstanding. The room was immaculate and I loved the paintings on the walls. Breakfast was delicious with a Costa Rican flair. I went swimming in the outdoor pool which was warm and so inviting. The outdoor dining room allowed me time to take in the view of the canyon as well as the birds. Everyone was very friendly and even the owners were very hospitable. I highly recommend the Vista Canyon Inn over any traditional hotel if you want a relaxed inviting place to stay.

Small boutique-like inn, located in a neighborhood. The staff were wonderful, breakfast very good. Pool is small, water warm. Rooms are nothing fancy, air conditioning units are noisy so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Owner lives on the property, not super engaging, just wants to play retired. 😊. Paola was very helpful, a gem of an employee. Outdoor seating is nice, overall a nice stay.

Nice, homely property to make for a pleasant stay. I love that it’s far enough away from downtown San Jose that’s it’s not as congested and yet, close enough to get to where you need to get to quickly. The property itself has nice amenities, pool, hot tub, stocked kitchen, breathtaking views and is well maintained by the owner & staff. The fresh cooked daily breakfast was simply amazing!

Room was decent but a bit uncomfortable IMO. The mini-split functioned well so temperature wasn’ta problem. I’m ok with the fact that the room itself was bite-sized but a few other factors made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The pillows were uncomfortably soft to me. Had to put a decorative pillow underneath it for support. We had unruly neighbors at one point that played TV or talked loud at certain points of the night which could be clearly heard or turned the light right outside of our rooms on which is bright enough to wake up a light sleeper like myself. Nothing major, just minor gripes. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.

Vista Canyon Inn is a perfect little slice of heaven tucked on the side of quite literally a canyon. It is located in a suburb of San Jose, so it is quiet enough for relaxing but close enough to the city for access to activities. The owners and staff are so friendly and will assist you with anything you need from excursions, to onsite spa services to arranging COVID testing. The rooms are cozy, clean and beautiful and the beds are firm but comfortable. The pool is clean and always a warm temperature. The jacuzzi is hot and a perfect place to wind down after a day of white water rafting and zip lining. I will definitely be returning.

The views were definitely unique and the biggest draw to the property itself. The staff is amazing and they truly go above and beyond for their guests, thank you for this!!! The rooms are cozy and have plenty of amenities both within and in the lobby/kitchen/Recreational area. Breakfast which was included was delicious each day. Dining after that takes planning but can be done in whatever capacity works for your stay and you schedule plenty nearby with Uber Eats. Easy to pre plan transportation to and from airport with the staff and or to create additional tours if need be.

There’s a dog across the street that barks sometimes but nobody can do anything about that. Restaurants, grocery and pharmacy are nearby. The hosts feel like old friends. I can’t wait to go back!

Fresh breakfasts using local ingredients were delicious. I had a nice room near the pool and hot tub,which were always clean and available. Very nice landscaping with palm trees ,flowers,and plants. Being next to the canyon is nice, the property feels very private. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.
