Country Inn and Suites

A garden pause in Cariari

Two swimming pools and tropical gardens give Country Inn and Suites a welcome pause between travel days. In San José's Cariari area, near Juan Santamaría Airport, the hotel works well for a first or last night in Costa Rica, with enough space to settle in rather than simply wait for a flight.

A starting point for the Central Valley

Cariari puts airport days and regional outings into the same stay. Poás Volcano, coffee visits, museums, the National Theater, rafting and ziplining can shape time beyond the pools. Nearby restaurants, bars, casinos and shopping—from local stores and craft markets to larger malls—add options for an evening or a spare afternoon. Ask your planner about specific attractions, including INBio Park and zoo visits, before arranging a day around them.

Choose your room or suite

Standard Rooms include air conditioning, cable television, coffee-making facilities and a safe, plus a hair dryer, telephone and iron with ironing board. Complimentary daily newspapers are part of their inclusions. Junior Suites add separate living rooms to those comforts; the Presidential Suite's kitchenette and living room with a sofa bed make more independent time possible. Executive Rooms include a complimentary breakfast buffet in a private lounge and 3 free minutes of local calls; confirm that category when planning your stay.

A settled travel day

A buffet breakfast, a swim among the gardens and time in the free guest fitness center can make a travel day feel pleasantly settled. The business center and high-speed internet support work between outings, and the meeting room is available to rent. Cribs and special requirements can be requested in advance. The restaurant and bar keep dining and evening drinks close at hand.

What to consider when choosing this stay

• A Cariari base near Juan Santamaría Airport suits a first or last night in Costa Rica, as well as trips that mix leisure and business, without reducing the stay to waiting for a flight.
• Two swimming pools surrounded by tropical gardens give you a place to pause between journeys; the restaurant, bar and buffet breakfast keep dining close at hand.
• The fitness center is free for guests, and complimentary high-speed internet plus a business center support everyday work or travel planning. A meeting room can be rented.
• Junior Suites add a separate living room, while the Presidential Suite has a kitchenette, a full living room and a sofa bed—useful distinctions for more space or a longer stay.
• Executive Rooms include a complimentary breakfast buffet in a private lounge and 3 free minutes of local calls. Confirm that category and its benefits in your arrangements.
• Cribs and other special needs can be requested. Compare the room’s facilities, air conditioning and sleeping arrangement with your party rather than assuming every category is identical.
• Restaurants, bars, casinos, craft shopping and malls in the surrounding area add options beyond the hotel. City museums and the National Theater give a capital visit a different pace.
• Coffee tours, Poás Volcano, rafting and ziplining are possibilities for Central Valley days. Arrange timings and transport as outings rather than assuming they are included in an airport-area stay.
