Very clean, armed guard, gated property very safe area of town, can easily walk to restaurants, city bus in front of property, close to hiwy, close to American counsel, staff speaks English, close to Goodness Dental. nice pool, nice grounds, free breakfast.
Breakfast buffet offered good choices but eggs were cold.
Security in the property was excellent. Availability of coffee 24/7 is a definite plus for coffee lovers. Airport pick-up and drop-off service is much appreciated.
Very clean. Only miss some coffee but in reception I found some fresh brewed coffee
Great service, friendly staff, great breakfast, wonderful pool.
We enjoyed the help from the staff at rhe front desk, and loved the beautiful plants and landscape, as well as the pool.
very safe and secure. large units and very clean. they used to offer hard boiled eggs for free in the breakfast, but now they charge extra for eggs.
Excellent . I have no complaints. The staff was amazing.
Always a great stay at Villa de Rio!! The staff is excellent and the grounds are well maintained. With 2 Pools, Jacuzzi a gimnasio plus spacious suites make this property a favorite for many travelers.
The room and grounds were well kept . The front desk staff was helpful and pleasant for the most part
Everything was wonderful as far as location, cleanliness, fabulous pool and hot tub. Staff was very helpful. The only issue we had was that the bed was very hard....we highly recommend this hotel!
Staff friendly, helpful. Great experience in the city. Lots to see. Not many speak English. But, we got around fine. Urber great. We will be returning.
My husband and I had a wonderful 3 day stay at Villas del Rio. Our apartment was exactly what we were looking for, kitchen, living room, nice bedroom, huge walk-in closet, den and a good sized bathroom. We didn't have to use AC because the apartment was situated on the first floor at the back with lots of beautiful shade trees to keep it cool. Open the living room glass and screen door and walk out to a garden path with a bubbling fountain. There is a rushing stream or river right next to the property, it sounds like a waterfall when the screen door is open but otherwise very quiet. The biggest treat was the shower!!!! My husband gave it a 10 out of 5. Ok, well, we do live in Nicaragua so it was a pleasure to have a shower with so much pressure. All the staff was friendly and the people at the front desk were great. They answered all our questions, were more than happy to even help us make a call for take out pizza one rainy evening. The buffet breakfast is included and it's in a lovely setting on the second floor of the lobby. We enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony. The buffet had wonderful fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, cheeses, cold cuts, a variety of breads for toasting, pastries, jams, butter, cream cheese, juices and coffee. Again, my husband is a bread person and the variety of different breads made his mornings. There are two swimming pools and the ground keepers do a great job with all the flowers and plants. We'll be back for sure.
Apartment was very clean but dated. Close to the location I was visiting. Although the bed was not the most comfortable and the only tv was in the bedroom and not in the living room, I would recommend the hotel and will probably stay on my next trip in March.
The hotel could use a few updates (not much, but it isn't brand new condition), but that does not detract from the fact that it is a very nice place to stay. The rooms are extremely clean. The grounds are very well taken care of. The hotel is walking distance to grocery stores, farmer's market (a must visit), banks, and there is a local bus stop right outside of the gate. Taxis are easily accessible from the gate or the staff will call one. There is 24 hours security, but we never felt the need for it. They are not like a typical hotel in the U.S. They take care of you very well. If you need help changing the safe combination, they don't just give you a piece of paper and tell you good luck, they send someone to take care of it immediately. I can't say enough about the attention they pay to their guests. Eunice at the front desk is great and the housekeeper was fantastic. Do leave a tip for the maid, they deserve it and somehow they make the room sparkle even more when you do. We did not want to leave and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you everyone Villas Del Rio!
The hotel was in a quiet environment, the pool and room was very clean
The place was just as I expected. I stayed in the smallest suite and I was very pleased with the sleeping space and kitchen. The staff was very helpful with inquiries about what to do and how to use the buses. There is a market down the street to buy groceries and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I barely know Spanish and had no trouble communicating with the staff and commuting to downtown San Jose. The pool and jacuzzi are really nice benefits to relax after a day of touring and the 24 hour store at the facility is convenient for a few snacks and sodas. They reception will even exchange Colones for you, so there is no need to exchange money before you travel to Costa Rica. If I had to complain, I would say that you can hear absolutely everything in the hallways from your suite. You'll be able to hear guests in the hallway and cleaning staff and their carts in the mornings. The air conditioning is almost non-existent, we only had one air con in the bedroom. The weather is actually really pleasant in December and January so cracking the windows felt wonderful. Overall, my stay was lovely and I enjoyed my interactions with the staff. They are very professional and friendly.
They are 2 for 2! Thanks for another great stay. Gym, pool, breakfast, kitchen, quiet. This place has all a fitness traveller needs.
