Good proximity to the airport, great restaurant, excellent shuttle service to the airport, since I had to leave early they made take out coffee and some fruit!

Room lightning seemed a bit dark, since I stayed on the first floor I did not feel too comfortable to leave my curtains open, as some people were hanging around the pool area.

restaurant and location

Construction across the street that continued until sunrise with heavy equipment! ;(

The staff was great, both professional and friendly. Willing to help with everything you need. The breakfast was really good and they adapted to offer me a vegan option. It’s close from and to the airport and the shuttle service is always available, no matter the time. It’s a really good option if you’re looking to stay for a night close to the airport before or after traveling.

If you get a room on the backside of the hotel it can get noisy due to cars, but by night time you couldn’t hear a sound. 😌

Great location, very very clean, lovely breakfast and good (but expensive) restaurant and bar.

Nothing!

Really friendly and helpful staff. Huge, comfortable rooms - perfect overnight stop after late flight into San Jose.

comfortable, clean room great restaurant on-site amazing customer service breakfast, airport shuttles included!

If you have a front room it is noisy because of traffic.

Nice hotel, close to the airport with big rooms, a nice restaurant, breakfast and swimming pool. Also a big secure parking if you have a car.

Nothing

Property was clean and staff was excellent. incredible customer service. They picked us up from the airport at midnight! then safely brought us to the hotel and brought our bags to the room. Room comes with a fresh bottle of water. Breakfast was decent, they give great options and again customer service was amazing.

There is major construction that started at 6am! you can’t avoid it no matter where you are placed. Our double queen room was quite cramped with all our luggage but we were cozy and it was clean.

Perfect for overnight stay close to airport. Friendly staff and excellent shuttle service and breakfast to go. Thankyou La Riviera 😘

The distance from airport is convenient and the complimentary shuttle service is great. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

When we arrived, I went to the bathroom and there was human hair (someone else's hair) around the bathroom sink and many dead black insects around the hand soap bottle. The bathroom sink wasn't properly cleaned (forgotten about?) which made me worried the entire bathroom (toilet and shower) wasn't properly cleaned / disinfected - very concerning. We were in a rush to eat dinner so quickly left and when we came back to settle into bed, we discovered many brown and black stains on all 3 pillow cases and on the bed sheets and when I lifted the sheets to look further, there was human hair (someone else's hair) in between the sheets. When we notified the staff, they immediately changed the bed sheets (thank you), but this should not have happened - clearly the bed was not properly changed/cleaned after the previous guest. As we were finally settling into the newly cleaned bed after a long day of travel, we were alarmed by the very loud sound of numerous guests walking up and down the outside metal/steel stairs and walkway and dragging their luggage (right outside our bedroom window and above us). These are the main stairs and walkway for guests to access the second floor and guests were using them after 10 PM and at 4:30 AM (we did not sleep well). These metal stairs/walkway are very loud and any room beside them will be disturbed. Lastly, the next morning of our departure back to the airport, it was disappointing to discover the express coffee provided in the rooms is a $3 charge and the complimentary breakfast isn't available until 7 AM. As a hotel that primarily services guests who are flying to and from SJO very late in the night and early in the morning (before 7 AM), at minimum, the express coffee in the room should be complimentary (1 per person) like many hotels provide (I've never stayed at a hotel that didn't provide complimentary room coffee).

Everyone at La Riveriera was FANTASTIC! Shuttle from the airport, the friendly and accommodating staff, clean and comfortable room and absolutely delicious breakfast! Beautiful property as well. 10/10 Totally recommend this place!

Handy free airport shuttle with a friendly driver. Good restaurant open all day. Gated entry with a security guard. Pleasant grounds and lounges, small swimming pool, quiet location. Bedroom upgrade was good. V high vaulted ceiling, full of character ,tucked away with a private lounge area outside.

Bedroom by the pool was much in need of updating . Dark and sparse, but in a good position.

Close to airport and free shuttle.

The breakfast starts at 7am. Not fair for the early rises. At least start a 6am!

The proximity to the airport was great. It was far enough away that you did not hear major air traffic (you do hear some) but also close enough that it is a quick ride to and from. The provided airport transportation and the transportation to the rental car facility. The restaurant on property was fantastic. The food was really good with a range of options from traditional Costa Rican meals to simple classics. The property is very responsive through the Booking messenger and Whatsapp.

This is not as much of something I didn't like, but more of a setting of expectations. The rooms are not highly decorated like you might find in other places. The rooms are simple in decoration, but I found that to be consistent throughout my time in Costa Rica. It did not bother me, but if you are not expecting it you might not like it.

The hotel grounds are beautiful, well maintained, and very lush. The views are nice since the hotel is on a hill. I was impressed by their greenhouse, and the pool area was very quiet. We spent one night here before our flight home after 8 days in Jaco. We walked to eat about 1 mile away in the Belen neighborhood and it is a very lovely area. Their staff were all super friendly and helpful. Airport shuttle was perfect!

The room was adequate. I thought the bathroom was spacious and had nice decor but the shower head had a weird flow. Our bedsheets had a stain.

small hotel close to the airport goid restaurant

the complimentary shuttle and breakfast were amazing

a little noisy in the AM but wind covered it up

Adorable property with a lovely restaurant attached. Large shower, comfortable bed. Within a 20 minute drive to the airport. Good value for the price. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location close to the airport, but not just a typical airport hotel. Good size rooms, super clean and friendly helpful staff. Decent complimentary breakfast too. We met an expat couple who always use this hotel when travelling in and out of the country and we could see why

Nothing, all was fine.
