Los Tucanes Hotels, Alfaro

"Super cute spot with great vibes."

"Website says to contact them to arrange a second shuttle service, but the receptionist said they do not call or arrange for another. Frustrating that a hotel can’t arrange for this!"

"It’s a nice place to start or end your trip. Easy to get to the airport. The property has nice trails you can walk and a swimming pool with views of the valley. A few areas for improvement: the rooms are looking a bit dated, we had dirty/stained towel and pillows which was quite off-putting. The rooms are noisy as there is no air conditioning so instead the room has windows for air flow. This works fine for cooling but it does mean you can hear the planes very loudly. "

"Oasis right by the airport. Nice grounds, good breakfast, nice rooms."

"I stayed at Villa San Ignacio for one night after landing late at the airport before beginning a motorcycle trip around Costa Rica. It turned out to be a very convenient and pleasant place to start the journey. The room itself was fairly basic, but it was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed for a short stay after a long travel day. What really stood out was the property. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, with a really nice pool area that makes the whole place feel relaxing and tucked away from the road. The restaurant was another highlight. It is a lovely space and a great place to sit down for a meal before or after travel. It added a lot of character to the property and made the stay feel more special than a typical overnight airport stop. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which made arriving late in a new country much easier. Overall, Villa San Ignacio is a great option if you are arriving late or need a comfortable place near the airport before heading off to explore Costa Rica."

"The property is well maintained, and rooms and dining room well maintained. The staff generally are excellent with exception of Dining Room- who lack the ability to connect with guests and work a relaxed atmosphere."

"What an absolute gem of a place. I didn't want to leave! After a 2 week road trip, we wanted somewhere an 'easy' drive of SJO airport before our longhaul flight, and this place was perfect. We felt it extended our holiday because we instantly totally relaxed. The rooms had lovely comfortable beds and stunning views. The pool was amazing, as was the yoga room, the food was delicious and cooked with love. All the staff were delightful, making sure we were able to have massages in the beautiful Spa room. All with a view of the Pacific, and the sunsets. "

"This place could truly be excellent, however they just missed the mark in a few areas. 1) The restaurant food quality was almost good but they used toxic seed oils in everything. 2) We booked the sauna only to find it turned off and no towels for us. We turned it on ourselves, told staff to push our appointment back to the next half hour block. One hour after turning the sauna on it was 46°C inside, we hadn’t broke a sweat & staff came by to ensure we didn’t over stay our time limit. We promptly received a bill, nobody asked about our experience. NOTE: our suite was right beside the sauna and I did not see anyone else enter after us. 3) In our suite all the bathroom racks & hangers were not secured and would fall off & the large soaker tub drain plug leaked so much we had to keep the tap running to maintain water levels. 4) In Costa Rica, the land of cacao they serve toxic Hersey’s chocolates (this one may seem petty but that stuff straight up contains aluminum and that country has organic local chocolate everywhere) "

"Yes it was fresh and lots of options"
