Always a favorite and has been for years. Just up the hill from the hustle and bustle of Escazú, across the gorge not far from the US Embassy and San José, the location is great. Not right in the middle of the congestion but yet not too far away from any of it. Easy to get to. The owners and... More

My husband and I stayed at this lovely B & B twice while having dental work done at CIMA. It is convenient to the hospital, a short taxi ride away. It's like staying as a guest at someone's beautiful home, which in fact is the case. The owners are lovely, as is the house. It has a gorgeous living room... More

We originally reserved a room with shared bath, which was small and faced the street, and then splurged on a room facing the gorge. The rooms are medium size, clean, and lots of character. We had a small balcony from which to sip wine, and enjoy the view. it is centrally located in the town, and walking distance to all... More

First and foremost, the hospitality and customer service are outstanding. Jose and Alcides at the desk, thank you again for going above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. Our room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable with a nice ceiling fan to keep us cool at night. It also had a small balcony with a beautiful view of... More

We flew from NYC to San Jose on an evening flight, so we stayed at Posada El Quijote the night of our arrival. We also stayed here for our last night, before flying out early the next morning. We traveled with our two young daughters, ages 8 and 6. This place was just perfect for us -- and the staff,... More

Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms were very comfortable and nice wood floors. Location is a $2-$3 taxi ride to Escazu. (only downfall) Great views from the lobby area (and some rooms) and lovely grounds. The included breakfast was delicious. Bacon, eggs (done perfect), toast, fried plantains, rice and beans, juice, coffee and wonderful bowl of fresh fruit. Yummy. Would... More

We stayed here in 2007 on our way to Tortuguero National Park and this time we were going to Arenal Volcano. It was like we were had never left - there is nothing like quite like being greeted by friendly familiary faces while travelling and as with last time José was a shining star. José once again ensured that our... More

We stayed here again for our first and last night of our holiday in Costa Rica and it was perfect again. It truly is a home away from home and the atmosphere there is so relaxing. Perfect location to get to the new highway towards the Pacific coast. Add the proximity to some great restaurants (Saga and Serutti) and the... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Posada El Quijote. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the gorgeous tile work and rich hues. The manager greeted us warmly and gave us a free upgrade to a suite with no extra charge, which was fantastic. The gardens and view of San Jose from the wide porch that stretched the... More
