Hotel Aeropuerto

Airport convenience with garden space

Tropical gardens give Hotel Aeropuerto a welcome sense of space for a stay close to the airport. In Alajuela, this budget-conscious hotel lets you spend the hours between travel plans swimming, strolling or sitting down to a meal rather than simply waiting for the next flight.

The pool and gardens are the focus of a quieter afternoon. An on-site restaurant makes evening dining convenient, and breakfast is offered each morning. Internet service helps you keep track of onward arrangements, while a conference room caters to business visits.

Rooms for a comfortable stop

Standard rooms offer air conditioning, cable television, queen-size beds, a telephone and coffee maker. Private bathrooms have hot water and tubs. The appeal is practical comfort in a leafy Central Valley setting, minutes from the airport.

Make more of a longer stay

For a longer stop, the San José City Tour brings museums, the National Theater and souvenir shopping into your plans. Round-trip transportation, a bilingual guide and entrance fees to the Gold Museum and National Theater are included in this approximately five-hour excursion.

For a more active half-day, the Adventure Combo Canopy and Horseback Riding Tour moves from riding to a rainforest hike and ziplining, with views from lines roughly 180 feet above the forest and speeds of approximately 40 miles per hour. Transportation and bilingual guides are included in the tour; arrange the outing separately from your room stay.
