Plaza Real Apartotel

Your own apartment near San Jose

A visit to San Jose can have a homelike rhythm: bring back something from a market, prepare a meal in your own kitchen, then decide where the next day will take you. Plaza Real Apartotel makes that kind of stay possible just outside the city, with private apartments that give families and friends space to settle in rather than simply stop for the night.

The capital's restaurants, shops and produce markets can be part of the experience, while an excursion beyond the city might take you to La Paz Waterfall Gardens, a canopy zipline or a volcano. Return with time to enjoy your own accommodation. The pleasure here is having a little independence alongside the possibilities of a Costa Rica vacation.

An apartment to settle into

Room sizes vary, giving you a choice of space for different parties and budgets. The Junior Room keeps the fully equipped kitchen within an apartment-style stay; the Senior Room adds somewhere to sit together in the living room. A Premium Suite also has a living room, with a desk, bedside table, closet and dresser to help you unpack rather than live out of a bag.

Junior Rooms, Senior Rooms and Premium Suites share a private bathroom with hot water, air-conditioning, a telephone, cable television, wireless internet and a safe. The kitchen lets you make breakfast at your own pace or keep an evening in, while the larger categories’ living rooms give time together a place of its own.

A guest laundry room adds convenience on a longer trip, and the property also has a conference room. Plaza Real's strongest invitation is simple: come back from exploring, close the door to your own apartment and enjoy a vacation with room for everyday comforts.

Highlights to help you choose

• An apartment just outside San Jose gives you private space between city visits. Choose it when returning to your own place appeals more than spending every evening out in the capital.
• Fully equipped kitchens in Junior, Senior and Premium accommodation let you prepare meals on your own schedule, especially useful for friends or family who want an independent stay.
• Senior Rooms and Premium Suites add living rooms; compare those with the Junior layout if a separate place to sit together matters to your party. Apartment sizes vary for different groups and budgets.
• The capital's markets, restaurants and shops can be part of your day, while La Paz Waterfall Gardens, canopy ziplining and volcano outings give you reasons to explore beyond it.
• A guest laundry room and wireless internet help with longer journeys; air-conditioning, hot-water bathrooms and safes provide the shared comforts of the named accommodation categories.
• A conference room supports a work stop as well as a vacation. Keep the outside-city location in mind when planning your days in San Jose rather than assuming a downtown hotel address.
