Villa Margerita is an amazing cozy place to stay. The owner and the staff are super nice and make you feel welcomed. We spent one night in transition from SJO to the Arenal but ai would have spent more days just relaxing in the area. Defintely a 5 star!

This was the perfect place to stay after we landed in CR. We got there at 10:45 pm and we were greeted by our host Margarite and one of her super friendly dogs. We were offered food and beverages which was very kind of her at such a late hour. The room was more than we even needed and we had a great sleep. Breakfast was delicious and we headed out shortly thereafter to catch the Ferry to get to Santas Tresea. Perfect location not too far from the airport but you get out of the hustle and bustle and an easy drive from there to our next destination. Make sure you use Waze for directions. There is no sign at the road for the hotel but once you get down a short lane way you will see it!

Not great

I am quite surprised by the many good reviews - my experience was a bit different. We arrived late and were greeted by somebody who immediately wanted to upsell us on a room that really wasn’t much different. The room itself: small, the glass sliding door was tough to operate, the gate could not close because of alignment issues, the light switch cover fell off the wall, there were dead bugs on the side of the bed, and there was no water coming from the shower. We did not ask for help since we didn’t really have much time there, but for the price we paid we did expect more … Having said that, the grounds were cute, lots of flowers, nice walkways, and seating areas.
