Guests highlight easy access to the airport and nearby car rental offices. Inside the gate, the courtyard, small pool, and greenery feel calm and safe. Some find walking or driving outside the entrance stressful due to the busy road. A practical pick for short pre- or post-flight stays.

I had a fantastic stay at dos Palmas studios! I was welcomed by Flor who kindly arranged my transport to the airport and offered to pack my breakfast to go as I was leaving early! The studio was very spacious with a great kitchen and shower! The garden and pool area is beautiful and a great place to relax and plane spot! Would definitely recommend staying here!

We were looking for a place convenient to the airport to start our Costa Rica vacation. This is not a fancy place, but it was close to the airport, gated entrance, had an airport shuttle, a kitchen, a safe in the room, a lovely little pool, made to order breakfast, and our hostess Flor Cordero was just marvelous. Plus they allowed us to leave our bulk luggage while we spent a few days at Tortoguero National Park until we came back to start our next leg if the vacation.

It was my first night after long flight, so I just needed some sleep. which was a bit complicated as the hotel located just under the path of departing planes, means: it was quite noisy from certain time in the morning. Service was very friendly, though. Good breakfast and parking behid the gate (important value in CR!!) ! nb: it is quite had to figure out how to enter the hotel. GPS gives right location, so you need to find the gate and push the bell, but it is a bit busy street to just stop and park in right spot

We were very happy with how close this property is to the airport. The charming owner waited up past midnight for us to arrive on our delayed flight. This little apartment motel has 4 rooms lined up making an outbuilding on the side of their home with beautiful gardens and a pretty pool on the patio where breakfast is served to order. There was free parking at the front of the gated property. The rooms were nice--very clean with a big fan for cooling and little kitchenets. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. We would stay again and wanted to, for our return flight, but it was full. The only note is that it is very close to one of the airport landing runways--we were so tired we slept through the night after the first two landed.

I think it's a great place if you're flying out from the airport the next day, given how close it is. However, note that it's under one of the flight paths so you'll occasionally hear the flights landing. Could bother very light sleepers. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the room was surprisingly very nice. It's a great value. Other important note: The hotel is a small villa-style building and completely surrounded by a large outer wall with locked gate. This helped us feel more secure. However, if you're driving and not used to the area, note that the four-lane street it's on (2 in each direction) is very busy during rush hour and the only way to drive into the hotel is to stop your car directly on the street during traffic, get out and ring the camera to let them open the gate for you. I wasn't used to this stopping right on a busy street, but apparently that's the way it's done here. There's no entrance or spot to pull off to the side so you can check your map or anything. Just stop cold right there on the street.

We loved our 2 night stay here. The best thing about it was the host, Flor, and her staff. The breakfast that was included was one of the best of the trip. She also had a mini-fridge up front you could grab a drink for a reasonable cost. Included was also a taxi trip to the airport at 4am which she arranged for us. The pool was clean and refreshing. The bed was a queen and very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit aged but functional. There was a fully equipped kitchen. There wasn't AC but the area had a good breeze and we were actually a bit cool the second night we slept here. Of note, this place and placed directly in line with the SJO runway so some very loud planes overhead. There was thankfully few overnight. The road in front is also quite busy so driving (unless familiar with SJ city driving) was a bit nerve-wracking at times.

Our host was lovely, very helpful and welcoming. We stayed here for our first night and our last night as it is very close to the airport. We enjoyed our breakfast cooked to order. We had to leave very early in the morning on the last day and our host arranged for a taxi to pick us up at no cost to us. The room was fine, clean with comfy beds and there was a small kitchenette. You could sit outside where there is a nice garden. The location is quite noisy though as it is by a busy road and very close to the airport - a pro and a con! I would stay here again. It is convenient and the price is reasonable. For contacting the host to arrange for the shuttle make sure you have the What’s App number.

What a perfect little hotel and room- like a small apartment. Very comfortable bed, a kitchen and shower. It’s perfect to get to or from the airport. The taxi ride to the airport was included. This is just a wonderful hotel and the proprietress is a friendly and helpful as anyone I’ve met. There are only four rooms so it’s very quiet and safe. I’d recommend this place to anyone and I’ll certainly return again when we come back.

Peter and his wife were super communicative, prior to our departure. Day of our arrival he stayed up late to meet us and show us our room. The room was clean, and we'll appointed. Only down side would be the pillows were thin and you can hear the planes taking off. Breakfast the next day was great and they helped arrange a ride back to the airport. Would recommend for a night of arrival or departure from. Either international or domestic terminals.

The owner lady is super nice. I was nervous about leaving the rental car in the airport as suggested by the rental company. She advised to return the rental car previous evening as I had an early morning flight next day and arranged a regular taxi guy for free who showed up on time and dropped us off at the airport! The bonus is all the rental car companies including mine is in the same street. The only issue is the traffic.

Peter and his wife were super communicative, prior to our departure. Day of our arrival he stayed up late to meet us and show us our room. The room was clean, and we'll appointed. Only down side would be the pillows were thin and you can hear the planes taking off. Breakfast the next day was great and they helped arrange a ride back to the airport. Would recommend for a night of arrival or departure from. Either international or domestic terminals.

Location
Very close to SJO and several car rental offices, making overnights before or after flights easy. The busy road and flight path bring traffic and aircraft noise, and some guests found pulling over at the gate or walking outside inconvenient.

Pro: staff is friendly and helpful. Property is very close to the airport. Con: Property is very close to the airport. Jets fly low overhead day and night. Just outside the front gate is a permanently congested highway with bumper to bumper traffic and exhaust. Walking outside the property is unpleasant, but you can order food online for delivery.

very close to airport and rental car companies. There is a gate to get in, easily miss the gate. You have to stop on the street to ring the doorbell, feel not safe for your car due to heavy traffic, other than that, stay 1night is fine.

Very convenient to stay before/after a flight, since it's very close to SJO airport! Spacious and clean room. Helpful staff and delicious breakfast! Free shuttle available for the airport, just make sure you talk to the staff about your needs beforehand.

The staff and room were excellent. The location near the airport is noisy with poor air quality. The short trip to the airport does allow you to sleep in, however, for early flights.

Our host was lovely, very helpful and welcoming. We stayed here for our first night and our last night as it is very close to the airport. We enjoyed our breakfast cooked to order. We had to leave very early in the morning on the last day and our host arranged for a taxi to pick us up at no cost to us. The room was fine, clean with comfy beds and there was a small kitchenette. You could sit outside where there is a nice garden. The location is quite noisy though as it is by a busy road and very close to the airport - a pro and a con! I would stay here again. It is convenient and the price is reasonable. For contacting the host to arrange for the shuttle make sure you have the What’s App number.

I think it's a great place if you're flying out from the airport the next day, given how close it is. However, note that it's under one of the flight paths so you'll occasionally hear the flights landing. Could bother very light sleepers. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the room was surprisingly very nice. It's a great value. Other important note: The hotel is a small villa-style building and completely surrounded by a large outer wall with locked gate. This helped us feel more secure. However, if you're driving and not used to the area, note that the four-lane street it's on (2 in each direction) is very busy during rush hour and the only way to drive into the hotel is to stop your car directly on the street during traffic, get out and ring the camera to let them open the gate for you. I wasn't used to this stopping right on a busy street, but apparently that's the way it's done here. There's no entrance or spot to pull off to the side so you can check your map or anything. Just stop cold right there on the street.

My room was actually a studio with everything necessary for cooking. The furniture was sturdy, rustic style. I liked the high ceilings. The owner is very nice and friendly. He picked me up at the a Airport (complementary service). Breakfast was fresh and prepared individually at the moment. I strongly recommend Dos Palmas. Would stay again.

We were very happy with how close this property is to the airport. The charming owner waited up past midnight for us to arrive on our delayed flight. This little apartment motel has 4 rooms lined up making an outbuilding on the side of their home with beautiful gardens and a pretty pool on the patio where breakfast is served to order. There was free parking at the front of the gated property. The rooms were nice--very clean with a big fan for cooling and little kitchenets. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. We would stay again and wanted to, for our return flight, but it was full. The only note is that it is very close to one of the airport landing runways--we were so tired we slept through the night after the first two landed.
