Overall Ratings & Reviews Alta Las Palomas Hotel

If you are looking for a quiet hotel this is the place. It has charm but a little dated. The restaurant and pool is wonderful. Nice amenities when you arrive.

This property was absolutely stunning. When we arrived we were so frustrated from the drive but the staff gave us a welcome refresher drink and accompanied us to our room. We ate dinner and breakfast and both meals were hot, very tasty and simply delicious. I wish we would have stay 6 days at this luxury hotel.

Great place to relaxing

The staff and the property are wonderful. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and the hotel is beautiful. The bar/restaurant is old-school cool, and the room is clean, quiet and authentic. We have loved our stay and would highly recommend

If I could review them with zero stars I would. The customer service is the worst we have encountered in our multiple trips to Costa Rica. Spare yourself the trouble and spend your money at a good place that values the essence of the Pura Vida lifestyle because this place definitely leaves much to be desired.

My friend and I had a wonderful stay, highly recommend!!!

Beautiful property design. Old world Spanish.

This place was a gem. There were minor things in need of touch ups due to the age of the hotel which is understandable but it honestly just added to the beauty. It was private and quiet and we felt like we were in a palace. The rooms were beautiful, the hotel had so much charm and the little added touches they included for us were such a treat. Possibly my favorite hotel we stayed at.

This SLH was delightful. Thank you for the hospitality.

I frequently stop in San Jose on my way to Guanacaste. I always stay at Alta Las Palomas! Great views, delicious breakfast and dinner. Staff is always smiling and happy to help. Next time I hope to try the outdoor pool :D

Astonishingly architected building with a lovely restaurant and a serene pool. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent on site amenities, rooms were clean and tastefully decorated.

It was great.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. It was a very unique space that looks like a small castle. The room was spacious, the beds comfortable. We spent a fair amount of time enjoying the magnificent views from the balcony. The pool area was cool. Location was great, not far from Escazu. Highly recommend.

A beautiful hotel within 40 minutes of the airport. Very grand and staff were great. Highly recommend it

A Luxurious Sanctuary at Hotel Alta Las Palomas Hotel Alta Las Palomas has become my absolute go-to place whenever I’m in San José, and every visit reaffirms why. This stunning boutique hotel offers a seamless blend of luxury, tranquility, and breathtaking views, creating a haven of relaxation and indulgence. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and professional staff, who go above and beyond to ensure an exceptional stay. A special mention to Michelle at reception, whose kindness, attentiveness, and dedication truly elevated my experience. She not only assisted with every request but also arranged a massage that was by far the best I’ve ever had—a truly rejuvenating experience that left me feeling completely refreshed. Dining at the hotel is an experience in itself. The restaurant setting is both elegant and serene, offering a perfect atmosphere to unwind while savoring delicious, thoughtfully prepared cuisine. Every meal was a delight, and the staff’s impeccable service only enhanced the experience. Beyond the stunning aesthetics and top-tier service, what sets Hotel Alta Las Palomas apart is the unparalleled sense of comfort and hospitality it provides. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic escape, or simply a place to be pampered in style, this hotel delivers on every level. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone visiting San José. I can’t wait to return!

Great

The property itself was stunning and the staff was very kind and helpful. George, our server at the restaurant, was hands down one of the nicest people we met during our entire trip to Costa Rica. Thanks for making our trip great

We found this beautiful property and it was above and beyond our expectations. It was absolutely stunning. From the charming unique rooms, the stunning views, colorful plants/flowers, amazing dining food/drinks. Rooms were quiet, clean and very comfortable. We were on the 1st floor so we didn't get a view of the sunset but we were just as happy to be able to walk out of our patio and visit the pool/sitting area and go to breakfast and dinner at the restaurant onsite. We will definitely be back!

Property nice and quaint / needs up dating and the grounds could be kept better. Great for relaxing. Excursions are overpriced when booking at hotel. Suggest booking directly for excursions. Beware of the water drought, we woke up one morning to drizzle water usage with no notice from staff
