Mario y Jeannette

Alajuela City

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay.

La Sabana Metropolitan Park is 18 km from the homestay, while Barva Volcano is 26 km from the property. The nearest airport is Juan Santamaría International Airport, 3 km from Mario y Jeannette. The accomodation is located at the perfect place if you have an early flight or you arrive on a flight late at night. The facilities are just what I expected, very clean and you have everything you need for your stay. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are big and they have a nice kitchen and living room. It was the perfect place to rest after a late night flight. One big plus is that Taco Bell, McDonald's, KFC and many other small restaurants are located at a walking distance from the accomodation. That's very convenient in case you want to get something to eat late at night or very early in the morning.

Alejandro Morera Soto Stadium is 1.4 km from the homestay, while Parque Viva is 8.7 km from the property. The nearest airport is Juan Santamaría International, 4 km from Airport Traveler's home., and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The staff is awesome! The location is great, few minute walk to the shopping center with loads of restaurants , 10 mins to the airport and they offer pickup/drop-off shuttle service! I love the cute atmosphere (especially now with the christmas decor) and the backyard layout with the lights, comfortable hammocks and really cool tipi huts. I will definitely be staying here again!😊

Sueño Río Celeste Boutique B&B 3 stars

Bijagua

Set on the Water and Peace Biosphere Reserve, this accommodation is 11 km from Volcano Tenorio National Park. Sueño Celeste B&B is a bird-watching lodge located on Bijagua, Costa Rica.

Surrounded by lush vegetation, Sueño Celeste features rooms equipped with a queen-size bed and a private bathroom with shower. There is also an additional bed and a private balcony, offering views of the volcano and the rainforest. The owners were very nice and accommodating to all our needs. The breakfast was very delicious with locally sourced foods. The pool area and large jacuzzi was great and the landscaping, including the jungle walk on the property gave us the real costa rica feeling. The bungalows we stayed in were beautifully done and had a large bathroom. Even though we only stayed for a night we would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Finca Bambú Del Valle

Santa Clara

Located in Santa Clara in the Alajuela region, Finca Bambú Del Valle has a balcony. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 36 km from La Fortuna Waterfall.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay.

Kalambu Hot Springs is 38 km from the homestay. The nearest airport is Fortuna Airport, 34 km from Finca Bambú Del Valle. My initial recommendation: -Check your route or call Rodolfo before going there -Take your insect repellent because when you go to the tour the mosquitos will be all over you. (Nothing to worry inside the house) -Take with you comfortable trekking shoes or rubber boots -Please, you have to reserve for at least 5 to 10 days so that you know all the beautiful places that are nearby. Our experience was incredible, we made the mistake of taking the longest route and even worse doing it at night. The fog and rain were at their peak so we couldn´t see anything by the time we made it to the finca it was almost midnight. We were beaten and to worsen the situation booking had not yet recognized them as hosts. However, it already appeared in the app so they had not received the notification of the reservation so when we called them at midnight and told them that we were outside and we had a reservation they were perplexed, and even so they let us in. Nazareth prepared our room at the speed of light so we could rest. The room was very cozy and comfortable, it gave you a feeling of peace which let us rest immediately, and the following day we were like new. I can tell they have made the place a home. You feel so much peace, very secure and welcomed as if it was your own safe place in the world. Nazareth and Rodolfo were up very early already preparing breakfast which was delicious and we shared together at the table laughing and getting to know each other (they are so lovely that it is a must for us to come back).. Then Rodolfo took us on an informative tour within the finca about bamboo, he showed us all the varieties that they have there and how they work with it. They also have a small farm with bees that are not poisonous but produce honey that is medicinal. He showed us how he built their colonies and has the entire property full of flowers and fruit trees making it a paradise for the bees and birds and many other insects I could say much more but you have to go and experi
