Once you arrive, this place is great. It is a great value compared to places downtown so if you are looking for a more luxurious stay without the cost of the places downtown in Escazu, this is the place to go. The owners are very friendly. The bar/restaurant has an incredible view and the place is quiet and away from... More

30 min +\- trip from the airport, the route to the hotel takes you through some residential areas then up a hill and down an interesting drive way. You pull up to the front door and the view overlooks Escazu from the hill. It's quite, secluded, super clean, wifi, great menu, pool, comfy bed, nice rooms. Beats the hell out... More

I loved this hotel. In seven months of Costa Rica travel, this is without a doubt my best experience! Outside the hustle and bustle of the city. Spectacular views! Service like no other. The couple that own and run (and built) this unique boutique hotel are wonderful. They take care of your every need. Great food. Full bar. Relaxing environment.... More

Superb location with a very nice view on San josé specialy on night !!! the modern architecture is smart,sometime difficult to follow in your way. This hotel is for valid adults due to so many different levels. The rooms are nice,but the bathroom definitly for one person.

Our stay at Casa Cristal added a new dimension to Costa Rica. The setting and beautiful crystal building made our stay a truly wonderful and enjoyful experience. The hosts, Zeida and Victor, made us feel right at home. They had extreme sensitivity to our needs. The hotel is extremely clean, and their meals are superb. We strongly recommend Casa Cristal...

Recently returned from a 9 night stay in Casa Cristal. Eveything a traveler could want but rarely gets all at once: architectural beauty, cleanliness, personal and attentive service, great food, wonderful views, privacy, comfortable and beautifully decorated rooms, great location (especially for heading out to the capital or to many other interesting places in Costa Rica). That said, the best... More

Ask for a room with a view. These are the best and worth it. The morning sun shines right in and wakes you up with a smile. Spread below is the whole of San Jose, stretching right across the valley to the mountains on the other side. Getting there is half the fun and as one travels up, up, up... More
