Every thing was great . The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was we kept having issues with air conditioner going off. Desk sent someone 3 different times, but after a bit it would not work again . It probably needs a new unit in the villa we were in.

I absolutely love staying here! The breakfast is amazing, with a fantastic variety of delicious options to choose from. They also offer additional hot breakfast items for a small fee, which are well worth it.
The front desk staff is always warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They go above and beyond to make sure every guest has a great experience. The housekeeping team also deserves recognition for doing an exceptional job. The rooms, floors, and kitchenette are always spotless, clean, and well-maintained.
This was my second stay at this establishment, and it certainly won't be my last. I always have a wonderful experience here, and I can't wait to come back again soon! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay.

Staff here is wonderful. The spaces we rented are roomy and clean but desperately outdated. Furniture (other than beds) is cheap and uncomfortable. Everything needs a coat of paint. This property feels like 1990s Time Machine. Again - great staff and super clean! Just not as expected.

We stayed at the Apartotel and Suites Villas del Rio for two weeks on our first ever visit to Costa Rica. The continental breakfast along with the made to order options was a perfect way to start each morning.
The staff was one of the biggest highlights. The noticeable perk was the security presence and attentiveness to the guests and visitors of the premises. Everyone was incredibly kind and the front desk team went above and beyond. They recommended several authentic local restaurants that were both affordable and close by and every suggestion was spot on. They helped us choose tours in the area that matched what we enjoy.
Our room exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, spotless, and far nicer than we imagined from the photos. The patio quickly became one of our favorite places to relax.
The cleaning staff did an excellent job throughout our stay keeping everything fresh and comfortable. Two stand out perks were the heated pool in the 24/7 coffee which we took advantage of daily. Overall the condo delivered far more than we anticipated. Great service, great amenities and great location. All around a fantastic stay!

I was very happy with my stay. The apartment was large, comfortable and a good value. Breakfast was very good. The grounds are pretty. The large heated pool and hot tub were a treat. Only 2 minor complaints. (1) The listing said there was coffee in the room. There was a coffee maker but no coffee provided. (2) Stranger still it had a fully equipped kitchen and nothing was provided to wash dishes. No dish cloth or dish soap.

The breakfast was not the best, it was very repetitive and limited. Some of the staff at the front desk were not the friendliest and not willing to help us. For example booking a tour, instead of helping us figure out how to book it the lady at the front desk simply handed us a pamphlet without saying a word to us. Our microwave did not work the whole time and on our final night when we came back from being out all day, all our towels were gone so we had to use a small hand towel for our showers. In addition they kept running out of beach towels whenever we wanted to go to the pool. There is no room service and or dining options besides breakfast, so you will have to either Uber Eats or walk down the road for lunch and or dinner.

We only stayed for one night after an event. The check in late at night was a breeze and the attendant was very attentive to my mother’s handicap status. The apartment we had was beautiful and very spacious. We could have accommodated 6 easily, which was the original plan. We only ended up being 4 so we had extra room to enjoy. The breakfast was very good with anything you might want to eat. Definitely a place to stay. Highly recommended.

I left 2 items in the nightstand next to the bed. I have receipts and photos of the items. They refuse to send someone to go check if the items are there. The gifts are for an 8 year old and they can’t be bothered to knock on the door. Horrible service. I called 10 times last night on 2/2/26 before they answered the phone. If only a manager could get off their butt walk to the other building and knock on the door. Wouldn’t take more than 5 minutes seriously, 5minutes!

The breakfast was not good. During our last day there when we were going to check out, a worker came into our family suite at 4 o’clock in the morning without notice. The worker ended up eating some of our food that we had on the counter and taking food from the refrigerator while we were asleep in our rooms. We could hear the door slam and we woke up. I called down to the front desk and the worker said he was going to look into it. He called me back and said that there was a miscommunication between him and the cleaning ladies and they thought we had already checked out. He then ran back up to our room with our food in a plastic bag and gave us our food back and apologized.

I love that it’s always a welcoming, clean and safe oasis with close walking distance to shops and restaurants in Escazu .
Mauricio and the entire staff and crew are always so kind and helpful and truly do their very best to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
The included breakfast buffet is consistently delicious and offers a wide assortment of options . The heated pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. They also offer a free Airport pick up and drop off. It’s always a pleasure to stay at Villas Del Rio. Will be returning again soon to my home away from home in Escazu .

Wish we stayed longer to better enjoy the property

We were only here for one, rainy night but the property was excellent. We stayed here to be closer to the airport, for an afternoon flight and as such, this hotel is above and beyond. The room was perfect to get cleaned up from our adventures with modern amenities like strong water pressure and practically sound proofed windows. The included breakfast was also well stocked with a warm service staff. Checkin and checkout was seamless and we're sad we didn't get to enjoy the heated, clean pool. The Santa Ana neighborhood is VERY upscale compared to traveling across the jungles, beaches and volcano areas, but you can still find local spots away from the main roads. Just plan for traffic...it's approx 15mi from the airport, but Waze had estimates from 30min to 1hr 15min.
