Marriott San Jose Hotel

The Latin America Travel Company Rating:  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Located next to a thriving 30 acre coffee plantation, the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel was built in a traditional hacienda style. The large public spaces are dotted with original antiques imported from Guatemala and Mexico and the roof is made from thousands of two hundred year old tiles brought in from the colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua. Rooms are divided into four categories including 9 suites and all come well equipped with a minibar, MP3 player, coffee maker, a safe, an ironing board, luxury toiletries and a nightly turndown service.

The hotel has beautifully maintained grounds with impressive facilities including two pools, tennis courts, a driving range, a health club and a large central patio where cocktail parties are often held. Guests can choose from several dining options including the terraced Antigua restaurant, the La Isabela tapas bar, a sports bar, a coffee shop, or the hotel can organise private wine tastings and dinners in the wine cellar.
