My family of 3 (or more depending on who is travelling with us) always stays at Buena Vista when we visit Costa Rica, which we do on a yearly basis.

This is a nice hotel with lovely views over the Central Valley of Costa Rica - our rooms did not have spectacular views but were still good quality with all necessary facilities. Good food.

Great view on the central valley, beautiful gardens, nice little pool, wifi, postal service, coffee and quality souvenir shop, tourist infos,... More
