I stayed at Hotel La Rosa de America in March, and everything about my visit was excellent. I made my reservation online, and Robert, the owner of La Rosa, emailed me personally to confirm the booking, which was much appreciated. When I arrived, everyone at the hotel was pleasant, friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful, the pool was immaculate,... More

As with many others we used la Rosa for our in and out stopovers. Set in the midst of San Juan suburbia, it is a delightful setting with all the basics that you require. The rooms were adequate but some better than others. We found cabin 2 very well equipped. The key strength of this establishment is it's staff, the... More

Hello there fellow travelers! I am the owner of a small Eco-Adventure company (Infinite Forest) based in Costa Rica, and we have had the pleasure of working with the wonderful people at Rosa de America for about three years now. We often use their hotel as a lovely sanctuary for our travelers upon arriving in Costa Rica. Whether they arrive... More

We stayed here a night before we went off for our vacation to Montezuma. We had the Suite #2 for the 5 of us and it was great. The rooms were clean, there was hot water, the pool was so nice, breakfast was great! It was an all around great place. Loved it and we are coming to stay another... More

We spent 2 nights at the beginning of our trip and 1 night at the end. We did a little research and settled on Hotel La Rosa de America, and we were glad that we did. We thought that the place that we picked to start out our trip would set the tone, and it would also complete our adventure... More

If you're looking for an affordable place near the airport to begin or end your adventures in Costa Rica, this is it. Our room met our needs for the night (basic and clean); however, this hotel earns 4 stars because of the helpful service in assisting us with our rental vehicle and its convenience as a starting point for our...

It was our pleasure to help you with your trip plans and your rental car. There is so much to do and see here - often with limited time, that some local advice can make a difference! We are glad that the rental car worked out for you as well. Sometimes getting the right vehicle here can be a bit... More

We were pleasantly surprised by this little hotel as a way point after arriving in Costa Rica and again before flying back to the USA. It is relatively close to the airport ($15 taxi ride) and is tucked away in a quiet, residential area with a beautiful garden and pool area. The grounds and rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast... More

La rosa is a wonderful little gem of a hotel, not far from the airport, and yet very quiet. The garden is glorious, the rooms spanking clean, and comfy. The food at breakfast is ample and yummy. Dinner is excellent as well. The staff is professional and very helpful. I recommend La Rosa without reservation! More

We stayed in two rooms, #9 and #7, both close to the entrance gate. Upon check-in it was apparent that La Rose is well run and maintained, and that the staff are well treated. My... More
