Casa Tropical is a great hotel bed and breakfast. We stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip. The location is beautiful with the fresh air of Heredia. It was close to drive into San Jose and even closer to the airport for our departure. The staff is friendly and professional, property is beautiful, clean and safe, and the breakfast was delicious! Could not recommend more.

I like the fact that it is situated in a beautiful quiet residential area. You can walk around in the neighborhood and there are several small restaurants and shops nearby (bakery, supermarket, ...). Staff is super, super friendly and helpful!. At the same time it is nicely furnished and nottoofar from the airport and downtown San Jose. No problem to reach everything by taxi, Uber, minibus.

You have a view of 3 different volcanoes and a beautiful view stop to view the scenery and the amazingly fasts approach of the airplanes as they go toward the airport. It’s beautiful to watch. The service and staff are welcoming and the friendliness that Ticos are known around the world for. Will definitely visit again. ¡Pura vida!

Nice stay at Vista
We stayed for two nights. Lovely courtyard and upper balcony view in nice neighborhood. Our hosts were terrific! Breakfast was very good. The room was pretty basic and needed more furniture- nothing to put luggage on, only one nightstand, bed not very comfy.

Fantastic Stopover
This hotel is nothing short of fantastic. The staff have been wonderful to communicate with and the quality is outstanding. When booking a private hotel instead of a chain I always worry a little as you don't know what you're going to truly get but this one knocked it out of the park. The rooms are clean and have everything you need including a nice comfortable bed (not to hard - not too soft). The breakfast provided is several tasty Costa Rican dishes. There are several sitting areas around the hotel to be out and enjoying the sun or shade should you prefer. It's in a safe neighborhood to walk to some of the local restaurants - which I also found didn't disappoint. I absolutely would stay here again! I'm glad this property came up in the search and was so much more affordable than a large north american franchise name.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Poor service affected the stay
The rooms were okay though not great (water pressure was intermittent, safe didn't open), but we will definitely not stay here again because the management is not honest on their communications. He seemed more interested in making excuses and saving face than serving customers. Perhaps it is a language barrier, but there were several things we were told regarding times (when the manager would be there, rental car arrival), prices (rental car) and arrangements (room reserved vs what was received, whether or not we could accompany the airport shuttle to the airport, where the rental car would be) that were not fulfilled or were different once we got there. The person that worked at night was very friendly and tried his best but did not know enough English to communicate with guests. The manager was also very rude to a friend of ours that tried to help with communications. It became an expectation that more would be incorrect/inconvenient as we moved through our short stay. We cancelled our last night there and went to a different hotel instead. I would NOT recommend this place.
