I stayed for 4 nights, it was a wonderful experience first time in Costa Rica. The staff was amazing, the hospitality was fantastic, the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu was amazing. The La Paz Waterfall Gardens was just beautiful experience of a lifetime i definitely recommend coming here. I will be back visiting again soon!!! Pura Vida thank you for giving me life again.

The property is in a great location with 5-20 min walking distance to a few good restaurants. The staff was very nice but the food didn’t meet the expectations on the menu. It has no amenities and the pool is very small but the view was great as the hotel is on the mountain side. It is very close to Alajuela with an Uber ride being about 5 mins. Uber is very cheap in Costa rica.

No iron, microwave, air conditioner or phone. And the water pressure was low and the papaya body wash stinks. The food was not very good.

Absolutely beautiful place! Stayed here for a night to rest from travel before headed out for a retreat in Montezuma @ Anamaya.
The staff was wonderful! Super polite and accommodating! The food and drinks were great!
The views from the property were stunning, seeing the city lit up in the evening looked like Christmas lights twinkling in the distance. I would recommend this place to anyone and would stay there again when traveling into SanJose.

The property is gorgeous. It has beautiful views and it is located within a mountain, lots of vegetation. The only thing that needs improvement it is the pool. It is very small and it looks too old.

Our room had an odd smell and the walls were very thin. Didn’t really look as kept up as in the photos. Our rooms view was not as impressive as I’d hoped, and considering what we spent, I had expected a cleaner room and more peaceful stay.
Despite this, breakfast was fine and the staff were very kind. Wouldn’t stay here again, but the close proximity to some yummy restaurants and the city of Alajuela was nice.

It is a nice property, but the pool is very small and Juan who works at the reception is a very unfriendly and communicative person, sometimes poorly behaved, but Lucia had a very good disposition,

We arrived at 8pm and staff from the hotel were waiting for us after we cleared customs. Check in was easy and the rooms were lovely. The following morning we enjoyed the included breakfast and the hotel took us back to the airport to pick up our rental car. Overall, couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and would highly recommend this lovely hotel.

This was my first time visiting Costa Rica and thanks to the wonderful service that I received from the staff at Buena Vista Chic Hotel my vacation was made even more memorable. From the time I booked the reservation I felt very comfortable that I selected the hotel for me. My inquiries were responded to very promptly. They did the best at making me feel welcomed and relaxed. My flight was delayed so many times that I arrived at the airport in San Jose well after midnight but I was not worried that the shuttle wasn’t going to be there because they sent me a text that they were also tracking my flight. I cannot speak well enough about the staff. They all were very attentive and professional. I enjoyed the food and drinks, my tours and the beautiful hotel grounds.
I am highly recommending this quaint hotel and without a doubt book with them again.
