I enjoyed my time at Doubletree Hotel in Carirari in Costa Rica. The property is really unique and the openness gave the hotel such an great vibe. While the property was a little dated, the hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was close enough to take an Uber to downtown San Jose to see some of the sites. The hotel has a shuttle for drop off and pick up at the airport. I highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in the San Jose area.

One of the main reasons we stay at this hotel is for the pool and it was closed down for a deep cleaning, which wasn’t mentioned at check in. I felt like they should be providing discounts particularly for families with kids. The beds were very hard and small.
