We traveled here Dec 2012 and found Randall (the owner) to be very accommodating. Even before we arrived Randall had started to answer questions we had (by email) about costa rica, and had even referred us to a great car rental company (that has great reviews and was much cheaper than the other companies in town). We arrive late at... More

Picked this spot because of its location near the airport, reasonable rates, pool, and pets policy. Great that I can stay here with my dog! Terrific rooms - we had the villa. Nice big beds. We didn't eat at the restaurant but heard other customers talking about how good the pizza was. Staff was great to work with and glad... More

This hotel was recommended to my wife and me as we were trying to avoid San Jose due to President Obama's impending trip and were afraid of traffic and blocked streets. We were a little apprehensive at first to stay in Alajuela as the neighborhoods we had seen were not that great, but were assured that the hotel and area... More

We stayed at Villa Dolce three times during our two week trip to Costa Rica and were glad that we chose this hotel. It was a treat to stay in such a lush little oasis. We stayed in three different rooms: two villas and a double room. Some people have mentioned road noise, but we weren't bothered by that in... More

We spent one night in the hotel Dolce Villa and had a lovely experience. The sitting area was nice and we had a great pizza for dinner. I loved the painted art painted in the lobby area and thought that the room was decorated nicely. Only draw back was the shower did not have very hot water. I would return.

This is our third trip to Costa Rica, our second in a row making Villa Dolce our first and last night in country. Randall is still great and on top of directions; the pizza is still our first and last night's dinner. We'll be booking again next year! Great place, great hosts and great location!

We stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica. There was no A/C, I fell down the steps outside due to a burned out light. When I complained about it they said it was because it had rained out. Pretty flimsy excuse for a country that gets rain 6 months out of the year. No appology was extended. The... More

Stayed for one night before leaving Costa Rica. The staff spoke english and were helpful. Got a room a little walk from the reception. There were no light outside the room and a little struggle to walk the path and find the keyhole after dark. Although they promise A/C we just got a ceiling fan and the wifi didn't reach... More
