Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful room with friendly and wonderful staff. The restaurant in the hotel was pricey but the food was amazing. Location is in a busy area but there’s lots to do all in walking distance. Also There’s nowhere to park, you can only do valet which is just a one-time payment of $28 for your whole stay."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to American Free Zone?
The best time to go to American Free Zone is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. This makes it ideal for exploring the area and enjoying outdoor activities without the interruption of daily rain showers. The dry season also means better road conditions, which is a plus for those travelling by car for business or leisure.

The rainy season, from May to November, brings daily afternoon downpours. While the mornings are often still clear and sunny, the humidity is higher, and travel can be less predictable due to heavy rain. However, the landscape is at its most lush and green during this period, which can be appealing for some visitors.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right American Free Zone hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a American Free Zone hotel?
Hotel prices in American Free Zone often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
