Villa Margarita

Our 1st time in Costa Rica for a family wedding. Stayed here because it was only 20 minutes from the Int’l Airport after a long day of travel and another day of driving ahead. Margarita is an excellent hostess/owner who was very helpful and kind. Her property is “boho-chique” with rescue dogs that act as ambassadors and chickens that lay eggs for guests to dine on at breakfast; which was excellent, fresh and included with the stay. The tower & view of the volcano was spectacular, pool was nice & clean to cool down in, bar/dining area lends great vibes. Rooms were clean, comfortable & decorated in fun rainforest themes with giant fans to cool you off (no air conditioning) so you could hear the nights creatures singing you to sleep. It was such a wonderful experience that we booked to stay with her on our last night before we left. A truly special place. Highly recommend.

Villa Margarita is the dream of a kind Dutch woman who, along with an excellent staff and several rescue dogs, does everything she can to make her guests feel like friends visiting her home rather than just staying in the hotel. The grounds are lush with tropical landscaping, the common outdoor dining area is the focus where delicious breakfasts are served and strangers become friends over a cold beer. The rooms are simple, but cozy (she could upgrade the pillows, however). The swimming pool is relaxing and the bustle and chaos of San Jose seems many miles away even though Villa Margarita is just 10 minutes from the international airport. Our family had a fantastic time there. The "zoo" Rescue center is just around the corner. This made our trip even better. Highly recommended over staying in the city. Tranquil and awesome.

Staying at Margarita"s place was delightful. The place is charming and the rooms are very cozy. I was travelling with my family of 4 and this place hit the spot for one night to gather energy and keep going. If you are looking for a hotel experience this might not be for you but if you want something like a B&B with character then it will strike all the right chirds. And if you like dogs you will get an extra bonus.

We arrived late but Margarita was waiting for us and was very welcoming . Breakfast was delicious and kids had fun walking around and playing at the playground. Our family room was huge!!

This is a must visit! Owner makes you feel like family! Beautiful property and amazing stay.

The owner, Margarita was very welcoming and kind to our family. We got in at night for checkin from a late flight and had a rough time getting our 4 yo son settled in the room. Margarita was patient and kind to help us get acquainted to the room. Just made a difficult situation much easier to handle. Thank you so much for a wonderful first night on our Costa Rican adventure!

This is one of the best properties we lived at on our trip to Costa Rica. The host lady stays at the property and was very warm and welcoming. She had a few rescue dogs that my kids enjoyed playing with. The breakfast in the morning was really good. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The property is very secure, gated and is very well maintained. The trees and plants made it all the more pleasing to stay here. Highly recommend staying at this property if you are visiting San Jose.

Our night at Villa Margarita was a last-minute booking, but I am so glad that we found it! The hotel is not fancy, but comfortable and personal. I loved relaxing in the hammock and rocking chair on the patio outside of our room. Margarita and her staff are amazing! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the place had a wonderful family feel. Margarita made an amazing breakfast and even took me to town to a restaurant to get takeout dessert in the evening! I highly recommend staying here!

The property was amazing! It was an amazing first night after a long travel day with our toddler. Beautiful property, a little play ground, and the host so accomdating. We enjoyed the pool and view point in the morning. Excellent breakfast (and coffee!!) In the morning. We can't recommend this place enough! Thanks for the stay!
