I can’t recommend enough! We stayed in San Jose the night before our flight, after spending the week in Fortuna we weren’t sure what to expect. We booked a cheap stay, and it was fantastic! It was clean, safe, and comfortable! It’s inside a locked gate, with a safe place to park. It’s walking distance to plenty of food and shops. I can’t recommend enough!

The personal attention from Jorge. The room was clean and had what we needed. A place to hang clothes would have made it better, but we were very happy with the accommodation.
