My parents and I had to stay at a hotel in Alajuela near the airport when we first arived in Costa Rica and right before we left on account of our crazy flights. One of our friends recomended that we stay at Jardin Tropical. We made the reservations with a woman who we thought to have worked there. Apparently she... More

We stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica. It is in the La Garita neighborhood of Alajuela, and is close to the airport (10 minute drive). If you're driving, Jardin Tropical is easily accessible from the Pan-American. We took the La Fortuna to San Jose bus and asked to be dropped off at Cruce Manolo. A short (300m)... More

We loved our last night in CR and Cinthya made it very relaxing and enjoyable. From the moment we arrived we felt like family. We'll be back! More

My husband and I stayed here before picking up and hire car and then the night before our flight home. As previous reviewers have said, Cinthya and 'Marta' make you feel at home. It's excellent value as breakfast is substantial. We visited the nearby Zoo Ave - bird zoo while we were there - a bit pricy but in a... More

Finally getting around to saying what a great stay we had at Jardin Tropical B & B in January. Cinthya was a pleasant and helpful hostess who introduced us to her two boys who delighted in trying their English out on us. Our room, though somewhat small, was very clean and tidy. The circulating fan overhead made for a pleasant... More

Spent the last two nights of a two month trip at Jardin Tropical...stayed in a LOT of different places,this was one of the best. Very clean including the bathrooms. The owner Cinthya could not have been more helpful. Her english skills are very good,which is very helpful for non spanish speaking gringos.Excellent breakfast menu. Very easy to find, centrally located... More

We stayed two nights at Jardin Tropical at the end of our Costa Rican vacation. Just 10 minutes from the airport, it is a convenient location, and within a short walk of Zoo Ave, a wildlife rehabilitation center which is definitely worth a visit. The bus line is a half block away. The B and B is in a safe... More

I was travelling alone but felt safe in this neighbourhood. I stayed for the last 3 nights of my trip. It is handy for the airport. The house is quiet and clean and bright and the hostess charming and helpful. It is walking distance to the zoo, a couple of interesting restaurants, and a big nursery where you can stroll... More

This is a good option if you are getting into or leaving the airport, or if you are REALLY into nurseries/garden stores. This neighborhood, La Garita, is fairly scenic with a couple of places to eat and lots of landscaping companies apparently. The B&B is seemingly on the quieter side, although the walls are paper thin between at least some... More
