The location is good if you wish to tour the area. I wouldn't choose this location if the idea is to spend much time at the hotel. The city of San José can be visited by bus (although there are some issues crossing an extremely busy street to get to the bus stop...). Mostly we toured with the car. The... More

...stayed a week with my husband, our pregnant daughter and her husband and my brother and his wife! The unit was just perfect for us! It had everything we would have wanted in a unit- and more. The staff were extremely accomodating and courteous. The unit and surrounding areas were kept tidy and clean. The place is also close to... More

We had a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath timeshare, for 2 weeks. It had all the conviences of home, swimming pool, very friendly staff, and worked for our needs. We used it, as a homebase, as we took off, for Jaco Beach for 3 nights, Nuevo Arenal, for one night, and Atenas, for 2 nights. I had read on a... More

We used it for a home base for day trips - and it was pretty good for that purpose, it's not a resort or 4 star hotel. With that in mind it was a very good place to stay in San Jose. Our apartment was the 3 bedroom place, so it was plenty roomy. A small living room area with... More

We also used this RCI timeshare for the week of March Break (March 12 - 20). We had unit 11 right beside the garbage cans (although we did not smell it, we didn't make use of the hammock outside our condo). As mentioned this is a condo unit with a small pool that I didn't see anyone use or sit... More

My cousin and I spent a week here (in exchange for an RCI timeshare) and had a fabulous time. It is NOT a resort, that's true. But it can't be beat for its location just west of the city center, resident travel company, and the arrangement of the condos around a central courtyard (very conducive to meeting and greeting the...

We got this apartotel in exchange for an RCI timeshare. Rated for up to 8, the 3 bedroom really is only enough for 6-7 (less privacy for the 7th). We went with our 3 sons, 16, 19 and 27. Good basic accommodation, comfortable but not luxurious, as the lone negative viewer seems to have expected. We definitely would go back... More

I stayed a month with a teenager and a child under 10, we had the best time ever. The people at the condo were great in helping us with anything we needed. The younger office staff (James and Leo) were an absolute delight to be around, so friendly and so willing to talk. I just would love to see anyone... More

If you could not feel the springs through the mattress, if you could not see through the sheets, if they did not charge 50 dollars for utilities, if the towels were not paper thin, if they caulked and grouted the holes in the walls so the bugs couldn’t use it like a highway, if it had air conditioning (you do...

I liked the Villas because it was very close to the city of San Jose. It has a kitchen with appliances and a stove as well as 2 bathrooms. It's also very close to a supermarket, drugstore, and a few restaurants. The staff was very nice as well. I accidentally left my cell phone there. My husband called them and... More
