The grounds garden and pool were very beautiful and clean. The restaurant was amazing and included a full bar. They even had a space that allowed the dog to dine with us.

This is a unique place. Nice sized room on a small building set in a jungle/garden. Lots of nice nooks and crannies by the pool, along garden paths, and just outside of room door to sit and read, watch birds, and just relax. The breakfast was one of the best I've had at a hotel for a long time. We loved our time there.

This is a charming little hotel and restaurant near the airport-15 minutes out-that exudes Costa Rican Pura Vida and flora. The staff were very helpful to a handicapped guest and the stay was fine for a close to airport overnight. Despite having a 715 departure, our 530 shuttle, got us to the airport in time to get us to the gate with an hour to spare.

I chose this hotel in part because of the free shuttle and also because it had a restaurant on site. The shuttle drivers were wonderful - including one who drove out of his way to bring us to our rental car company. The restaurant was excellent and our stay came with a free breakfast, which was delicious (not your average crappy continental breakfast like you get at some hotel chains). The room we had was spacious but didn’t really have enough furniture to fill it, but given that we were only there for a night it was fine. Overall I think this is a great place to spend a night or two and definitely recommend it, especially if you’re starting or ending your Costa Rican adventure as it’s close to the airport.

The staff is amazing and helpful, airport shuttle convenient and timely, communication was great using Whatsapp. The only complaint was staying in room 4: the bathroom is so small the door doesn't open all the way and you have to shut it to use the sink. Makes it hard to us bathroom comfortably. We stayed in room 16 on the incoming part of our stay, and that room was large and comfortable with a good sized bathroom. The breakfast is amazing and onsite restaurant really good too.

Lovely property with great staff and lovely gardens. The room was basic but nicely furnished, spacious, and very clean. It was very quiet at night, which made it easy to sleep. The AC worked well.

The airport shuttle both ways made this an extremely convenient stopover hotel for my flight out of San Jose.

I can’t even tell you how impressed I was with this hotel. WHO is that angel at the front desk?!! She was so kind and made me feel like I was visiting her home. She checked me in, let me practice my Spanish, lol, she was so patient. She told me about my shuttle, took my breakfast order for the morning and even insisted on taking my heavy suitcases to the room. The room is a bit dated but IMMACULATE! The bedding is white and crisp and everything was perfect. She showed me around the room and as she did, she closed the heavy privacy curtains as she moved around the room. Such care. I can’t say enough about how welcoming she was. And to top it off, there is the most amazing Italian restaurant next door, in the same parking lot. I sat and watched pizzas being made in the wood fired oven, sipped my wine, had the best risotto…it was the perfect last night before I flew home. Highly recommend!!

Lovely boutique hotel with clean comfortable rooms, great staff, lovely grounds. Free breakfast was delicious and the free shuttle was an excellent perk. You can't go wrong staying here. On site restaurant was fabulous for dinner and the market was lovely.

I really enjoyed staying at La Riviera Hotel. Staff is very friendly and nice. The property is beautiful and clean. The location is great as many restaurants and supermarket is within a walking distance. It comes with a free shuttle to the airport and nice breakfast. I'd stay there again with no hesitation.

If I could give more stars I would- I wish we could’ve stayed for more than one night. The property was so charming and the staff were very, very helpful. We stayed here the night before an early morning flight and not only did they shuttle us to the airport at 5:30am but they also collected us after we dropped off our rental car the night before.

Room and bathroom were spacious. Room 18 seems to be the main walkway for a lot of people. They would stop in front of our room and chat when coming back from dinner. In the morning noisy. There shouldn’t be a room there or at least put a sign up to be quiet. No sleep.

Nice staff and the cats were really cute. The room needs more in it, feels very empty. Some art on the walls, more furniture would really help. Needs a bit of an update. Otherwise, the restaurant and pool are a nice touch 👌

This place is perfect for fly in or fly out days. Great spot close to the airport and rental car drop off. We finished a 10 day vacation and need quick stop overnight in SJO before flying home. Staff is very friendly, super clean with a great restaurant on site. A complimentary shuttle was perfect and schedule on guest flights. This is not a resort hotel or luxury destination it is an outstanding overnight stop with great value and friendly staff.

The restaurant on the property was very nice and the food was delicious. The shuttle service to the airport was awesome. Some reasons I am not giving it 5 stars: we had a visibly dirty glass left from the last person, the TV didn’t work properly and the bed wasn’t very comfortable. It was a okay stay for one night.

The hotel is nice but dated. It is located right across the street from a supermarket which was convenient. They offered an airport shuttle from and to the airport. The service was excellent. The people were friendly and helpful. The food was good. The breakfast was free and was excellent. We were just disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel room.

La Riviera is beautiful and clean inside and out.
The breakfast was delicious and their coffee was one of the best we had in Costa Rica!
There is a nice strip mall directly across the street that has a grocery store, hair salon, dry cleaner and bookstore.

Staff is very friendly- I would highly recommend!

I stayed there three times over the course of a two week stay in Costa Rica. Each time I had a better room, and my last one was beside the pool and really large. The restaurant on-site is expensive but good. There is an awesome place called Lita’s within walking distance that I’d recommend. Amazing Carribean food for very reasonable prices.
