Situated in Alajuela, Uruka Lodge features an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court and a garden. Featuring a terrace, the bed and breakfast has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, . There is a restaurant.

We stayed at Uruka for our 1st night in Costa Rica. We wanted to be west of the airport as we were headed to the pacific coast the next day. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t land until after 11pm. I informed Sergio manager and gave him our flight number. He was assuring that no matter how late there would be no problem. We didn’t arrive until midnight. Sergio had chilled bottled water for us. In the morning they gave us a delicious breakfast of rice & beans eggs and toast. We are a family of seven. I asked Sergio if he could arrange a transport for us to Quepos, or if he knew of a better more economical way for us to get there. Sergio came back to me a few minutes later with a transport option and then sat with us and called the bus terminal for their schedule. He told us there was a bus leaving San Jose in five minutes. Sergio called the terminal and arranged for the bus to stop on the highway for us up the road from Uruka. He then drove the seven of us with our luggage to meet the bus and stayed with us until we got on the bus! Uruka is a family run b&b who treat their guests as their own. I can’t thank them enough for the kindness and treatment we received. Thank you Sergio and family!

Located in Alajuela City, Airb nb private rooms close to the airport Juan Santa María offers accommodation with a terrace or a balcony, free WiFi and flat-screen TV, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.

A barbecue is available on site and hiking can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge.

The room was very spacious with a comfortable king size bed. The place was quiet and safe. We had a very good sleep and could relax before going back to the US, and also the host was very attentive. I would recommend this place for someone who wants to be close to the airport and in a beautiful green peaceful environment.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    The views were beautiful, and the bathroom was very nice. However, it was more of an AirBnB than a lodge, which was not what we expected. The gate only intermittently worked, the key to the room was in a Masterbox, and there was no shampoo for the shower.

    Great location, really close to the airport. Had great mountain and city views, our lodge had an amazing view from the bed! and I would recommend eating dinner in the restaurant - delicious and stunning views. Lovely hiking trails to the waterfalls and three beautiful pools.

    We loved everything about our stay at Tacacori EcoLodge: the small house we stayed in, the breakfast on a small terrace with a beautiful view and breathtaking garden with birds all around. Very helpful owner with a lot of recommendations for the area. That's an oasis which is a great place to relax before or after your flight.

    Uruka lodge is a very cute family owned place located close to San José. The room was somewhat comfortable and very clean. The owners were the most helpful people, they suggested restaurants for us and offered a shuttle service to the airport even if our flight was very early in the morning! The pool was clean and the place was calm and lovely. You will also meet the cutest two little dogs: Pickett and Bella 🥰 I totally recommend for a short stay around San José.

    So close to San Jose, yet it felt like we were in the rainforest away from civilization. Beautiful lodges in a stunning garden, and looked after by wonderful hosts.
