La Riviera Hotel B&B

La Riviera Hotel B&B

10/10 Excellent
"Peaceful stopover to rest and recharge at the start of our vacation. After a long day of travel to get to SJO, we were looking for an easy airport pickup, a comfortable bed, a spot to spend a couple of nights and a full day relaxing, and a place that offered meals on site. Riviera checked all of those boxes. Lovely grounds with delightful cats, lots of comfy spots to sit and read in the shade, a grocery store directly across the road, and lovely staff who were always available but never in your face. Highly recommend!"
