Hotel Buena Vista
A good quality mid-range hotel close to the international airport.
Buena Vista Chic is located in the hills above San José but only a 10-kilometre drive from the airport. The colonial-style building, so called because of the impressive views over San José and the Central Valley, is a pleasant place to spend your first night in Costa Rica. Each of the 30 rooms is painted in tasteful creams and golds with Costa Rican decorative features and comes with a King-Size or two Queen-Size beds and a ceiling fan. The superior rooms on the upper floor have balconies looking out over the gardens or pool. Facilities include a bar and restaurant, a small swimming pool and a short nature trail through the property’s beautifully maintained tropical gardens, perfect for stretching your legs after a long flight.
