Trapp Family Country Inn

What guests think

Many travelers describe Trapp Family Country Inn as a convenient stop just minutes from SJO, praising its welcoming, helpful staff and a relaxing atmosphere that feels removed from the city despite the near-airport setting.

Guests frequently enjoy the pool, lush gardens, and secure, secluded grounds. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with balconies, but several note airplane noise and the absence of air conditioning, with ceiling fans sometimes sufficient and humidity a drawback for some. Breakfast and on-site dinners receive consistent praise. Expect a charming stopover suited to pre- or post-flight stays, with some airport noise.

Trapp Family Country Lodge in Alajuela is a beautiful oasis in a bustling city, and is conveniently situated near SJO Airport. The property has majestic shade trees, a pool, a garden, a lovely porch for dining, Adirondack chairs for relaxing, rooms with beautiful wooden furniture, open air balconies, and a ceiling fan. With the enormous old shade trees, high ceilings and a ceiling fan, an air conditioner was not necessary. This is not your typical chain hotel found in every city in the world. Trapp Family Country Lodge truly felt like a uniquely Costa Rican experience. The property was very secure, and the staff were super nice. I plan to stay here on future visits!

A wonderful oasis tucked right outside SJO airport. The grounds are stunning and very well taken care of. The staff was all very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and beautiful. I highly recommend a stay at Trapp Family Inn! You can hear the planes leaving from the airport at times, so this may be a problem for some people.

Unfortunately, this hotels proximity to the San Jose airport means loud jet engine noise occurs frequently when commercial aircraft take off from the west end of the runway. This seriously disturbs an otherwise very tranquil setting at the property.
