My family and I have stayed here lots of times and have seen it grow up over the years. The new restaurant, deli, wine bar is really nice. The rooms are decent with air-con and wireless. There is a pool and the staff is very helpful. Free airport shuttle to and from the international airport. This is the best value... More

After first having our original flight cancelled to due weather in Toronto, almost missing our connecting flight in Miami, having the airline lose our baggage, and then having to go through a different car rental agency than planned, we arrived in Costa Rica exhausted and discouraged. We were directed to this hotel by our car rental agency and we loved... More

Like another reviewer, we were directed to the hotel by the car rental company. The hotel came and picked us up from the car rental company for free. The neighborhood seemed sketchy and we too had to be let in through the gate. the staff was very friendly and the room was a good value. The best part for us... More

We needed a hotel close to San Jose International Airport (Juan Santamaria) for one night, prior to a business appointment and prior to picking up a friend arriving from the US. I had heard from friends in Southern Costa Rica about La Riviera but always shied away from staying there. The brochures I saw featured this rather old-fashioned looking hotel... More

Our family of 7 stayed at the Hotel La Riviera the night before we had to catch an early flight back to the U.S. It was recommended to us by a representative at the rental car when we made our initial reservation. The rooms were clean and spacious. The grounds were lush and beautiful, and it hotel has a nice... More

We enjoyed the covered patio and the quality of its furnishings. What a wonderful place to relax and read.Your office staff are exceptionally friendly, professional and... More

My wife and I stayed here on our arrival at SJO, where we were picked up by the hotel's shuttle bus. We intended to stay 2 nights and instead stayed for 5 weeks. There is major construction going on so there is some disarray at the moment, but it is primarily cosmetic disarray. There is razor wire around the walls... More

We were catching an early flight the next morning and the car rental shop recommended this place to us. It was dark and we had to be let in through the gate. It seemed kind of sketchy at first, but once we got to the lobby everything was fine.The guy at the front desk was super fun, very helpful and... More

Even though there is construction going on at the hotel, I found things to be clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I needed help confirming my reservation on Interbus, and Samir (sp?) easily handled this for me. Free shuttles to and from airport is nice. The food in the restaurant was good and reasonably priced.
