BEST COSTA RICA HOTELS
San Jose
As I worked on the best Costa Rica hotels around San Jose, the task proved overwhelming. There are simply dozens and dozens of terrific resorts and hotels---way too many to describe.

So, here is a flavor of what you can expect on your Costa Rica vacation. Costa Rica Marriott Seen above, the 300 room five star Costa Rica hotel rises above a 30 acre coffee plantation and is designed like a 16th century hacienda. Conde Nast rates it as one of the best hotels in Central America and Mexico. Features outdoor pools, driving range, spas, three restaurants and coffee house. Barcelo San Jose Palacio Just 15 minutes from San Jose International is the Barcelo Palacio,a prestigious 254 room hotel. Features large convention center, casino, pool, tennis courts, spa, European type service. About 2 km. outside of San Jose. La Condesa Hotel This 96 room hotel sits high in the mountains about 30 minutes from San Jose International Airport and 25 minutes from San Jose. Two restaurants, bar, great view of Central Valley. Bring your sweater if you stay here on your Costa Rica vacation because you'll be about a mile in elevation. Beautiful country, fresh air, peace and quiet await---but so do cooler temps.

Real Intercontinental Hotel and Club TowerYou'd have thought it was the President. Roads closed, policemen overlooking bridges with machine guns. All the way to the Real Intercontinental Hotel. Come to think of it, it was the President---of China---and that is where his entourage and he were going to stay. This Five Star luxury Costa Rica hotel has 372 rooms, five restaurants, the largest spa in Central America, three heated outdoor pools, 24 hour gym, and is only 20 minutes outside of San Jose. You'll agree that this spectacular place is one of the best Costa Rica hotels.

Alta Hotel A luxurious Costa Rica boutique hotel nestled in the mountains above San Jose. Conde Nast describes it like this: "Most of the five-story hotel's 23 rooms have drop dead views of the city below (on clear days you can see the Pacific)..." Martino Resort & Spa Only minutes from San Jose International Airport, this five star luxury Costa Rica resort has a distinctly European flavor, perhaps because it was designed by an Italian hotel owner who wanted attention paid to every detail. Features 38 rooms, elegant casino, gourmet restaurant, Cleopatra spa, pool, italian statuary. Full breakfast included.
