Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Casa Bosque GuestHouse & Car Rental - Free SJO Airport Shuttle is located in Desamparados. The owner is very nice and it was easy to communicate with her (in Spanish). The apartment is completely equipped and very spacious. We were able to park our car in the garage and the owner gave us tips where the closest supermarket and soda was. We had the whole apartment to ourselves.

Set 32 km from Poas National Park, Casa Carmen offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. It was actually a very comfortable stay. The owner was very helpful. I timed it, and it took 15 min to walk to the airport. The room was very clean and comfortable. Alajuela has cool nights, so lack of AC was not a problem. Great budget option for late arrivals or early morning departures.

A convenient stay at the favorite hotel for travelers with complimentary transportation to and from the Juan Santamaria International Airport. Surrounded by a variety of dining options. We found the staff very helpful, especially the gentleman on reception (the bon voy man) in helping Neal contact customer service at the airport. We have some return trip which we look forward to. Also, the gentleman in the dining area was very helpful, guiding us to get a sim card.
