"We are staying there beginning an end of trip flying in and out of San Jose… It was perfect for that being fairly close to the airport but yet it is 25 minutes outside of San Jose. Not much around in the way of amenities, restaurants, and such. Casino was on property"

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent
"El personal es muy colaborador y amable. Estuve contento de hallar en mi cuarto una mesita que me sirvió de escritorio, lo que no había en mi habitación en febrero. Aprecio el aislamiento fónico que limita la entrada de los ruidos exteriores, y las batas muy abrigadas. Cama confortable. Excelente atención 1) en el restaurante, en particular de Fabiola, Viviana, Luis y Carlos, siempre con una sonrisa. 2) en la recepción, con Randy, Kenia y Jonathan. La música queda fuerte y no relajante, pero tengo que resignarme, porque en prácticamente todos los lugares (hoteles, restaurantes y almacenes, hay esa música agitada, salvo en los restaurantes de alta gama. Regresaré con gusto en enero de 2027, para quedarme con gusto varios días con mi esposa."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San José?
The best areas to stay in San José are Escazú or Santa Ana, both known for their upscale amenities and convenient access to the city's highlights.Escazú is a popular choice for those seeking a sophisticated base. It's an affluent suburb west of the city centre, known for its modern shopping centres, high-quality restaurants, and pleasant residential areas. The main thoroughfare, Avenida Escazú, offers a range of dining and shopping options, and it's well-connected for exploring both San José and the surrounding Central Valley.For couples looking for a relaxed yet refined experience, Escazú offers a good balance. You'll find boutique hotels and luxurious accommodations with features like outdoor pools and high-end fitness equipment. The area provides a tranquil escape from the city's hustle but keeps you close to cultural attractions and gourmet dining.Santa Ana, just west of Escazú, provides a similar upscale experience with a slightly more laid-back character. It's known for its well-maintained streets, golf courses, and a growing number of excellent eateries. It benefits from its proximity to the main highway, making day trips to areas like Poás Volcano or the Pacific coast quite straightforward.For business travellers, Santa Ana is particularly convenient due to its easy access to corporate parks and the international airport, which is about a 20-minute drive away.
When is the best time to go to San José?
The best time to visit San José, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica, is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you'll experience pleasant, sunny weather with less humidity, making it ideal for exploring the city and enjoying outdoor activities. Temperatures are consistently warm, typically ranging from the low 20s to high 20s Celsius. This period is superb for travellers who want to avoid heavy rain and prefer clear skies for sightseeing.For those looking to explore the natural beauty surrounding San José, such as visiting volcanoes or coffee plantations, the dry season ensures better road conditions and clearer views. It's also an excellent time for couples who enjoy walking around and discovering local markets or historical sites without the interruption of rain showers.While the dry season is popular, it also means it's peak tourist season, so you might find more people around and potentially higher prices for flights and accommodation.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
