Hotel Suites Merlyn Airport

We stayed here for one night before flying out of San Jose. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms spacious (with a kitchen!), and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was fresh and lovely. They have mango and lime trees and we picked a delicious mango right off of the tree! Drive to the airport was about 15 minutes. It was great!

As part of our 71 day road trip around Costa Rice were loooking for a nice hotel to stay at before flying home. We use Hotels. com for all our accomodation requirements and this hotel appeared to have everything we needed, however there was availability for only one night instead of the 3 we normally book. We decided to book for the one night and enjoyed our stay so much that we booked a second night when there was availability. The hotel is close enough to the SJO Airport to use a taxi, although we still had our car. Daniella in reception saw our reservation and texted what time we were arrivng and had the gate open on our arrival. The room we were given was amazing, the best by far of the 17 hotels we had previously stayed in. It was ultra modern with a kitchen and couch to compliment the double beds. Daniella went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed. She is a credit to the establishment, spoke very good English and is extremely personable. We enjoyed the swimming pool and walked around the extensive gardens. There are a few pieces exercise equipment, but we didn't use. The next morning we enjoyed an excellent breakfast, lots of food choices, freshly cooked and delicious. I definitely recommend this hotel at the start, end and even during your stay in Costa Rica. Value for money it is excellent.
