Hotel Buena Vista

Hotel Buena Vista Alajuela is located in the mountains near San Jose, with wonderful views of the volcanoes Poas, Barva, and Irazu. Thanks to its height above sea level, Hotel Buena Vista maintains a pleasant year-round temperature of 80 degrees during the day. With only 30 rooms, Hotel Buena Vista is dedicated to giving its guests the best service possible.

There are extensive tropical gardens, creating an ambiance of staying at a hotel amid the colorful tropics. These gardens are also ideal for nature walks and bird or animal watchers. The use of native plant species encourages wildlife and birds to visit the property, much to the delight of watching guests! In 2012, 2013, and 2014, the Hotel Buena Vista was awarded the Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor.
