The contemporary concrete, metal and glass Studio Hotel caters for the business and leisure traveller in the town of Santa Ana, a fast growing community on the outskirts of San José

The contemporary concrete, metal and glass Studio Hotel caters for the business and leisure traveller in the town of Santa Ana, a fast growing community on the outskirts of San José. Santa Ana maintains a leafy, tranquil small town charm but now contains a flourishing business district. It is only 20 minutes' drive away from the international airport yet away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, one if its principal attractions.

The popular, quality hotel claims to be Boutique (not really, as it has 82 rooms) and consists of a bright contemporary space dominated by striking modern art (including some nudes, paintings and sculptures alike) and fresh décor, including gleaming polished-wood floors. Good-sized guest rooms and suites are functional and business-like, avoiding some of the quirkiness of the public areas. They have two queen beds or one king-sized. Facilities include a business centre, roof-top pool and lounge area, gym, complimentary Wifi and restaurants close by.

Everything was good. An unexpected highlight was the chocolate tour to the local conservation chocolate plantation in Sarapiqui.
DS, Coventry
Everything felt "easy" and stress free. The most memorable aspect was driving through fantastic scenery, so much to see!
AF, Cardiff
Highlights?: Very hard to select 1 or 2 things. However would probably say Travelling to and staying at Tortuga Lodge and the excursions into the Jungle (in 3 days we saw over 60 different birds / mammals / reptiles !!!) and also the Zip lining at Arenal - breathtaking and exhilarating - what views and what an adrenalin rush ! ! ...Costa Rica is an amazing country - small, but with so much to offer and so diverse ! The people were very friendly and welcoming and the weather was great !
TW, Glasgow
Highlight?: Turtles laying, sloths scratching, toucans screeching, frogs jumping, iguanas climbing, Mayan steps galore, sharks a swimming, stalactite dodging in the blue hole...All in all brilliant
MS, Twickenham
Highlights: Monkeys and macaws on the trees by our bedroom ,and the White water rafting to and from Pacuare Lodge and swimming down the river!
JB, Ashford
Costa Rica is too beautiful to miss!
PC, Moreton-in-Marsh
Amazing experiences
So many memorable experiences - flying into Tortuguero, watching turtle hatchlings race to the sea, the boat ride out of Tortuguero, all the animals (including a mummy sloth with baby attached climb down a tree in the middle of a restaurant and then back up again), Monteverde scenery, Tamarindo beach, our son learning to surf, snorkelling in Cahuita and seeing a turtle and a nurse shark, how lovely the Costa Rican people are.
SM, Chiswick
Highlight?: Flying down the ziplines at Arenal was truly incredible. We had a clear day, too, with amazing views of the volcano and lake to distract us from the fact we were 200m up!
DR, London
Most memorable experience: "The helpfulness of the guides and the appreciation they showed for us making the effort to visit their countries."
SD, Horsham
Although the transfers were quite long the mix between eg driving and taking a boat were good and made us feel we really saw the country.
ME
We have many good memories and it's difficult to identify a single best experience. Each of the Lodges we stayed at impressed us by their environmental policies. Each had comfortable accommodation ranging from quite simple to quite extravagant. Importantly for us they were each located in different types of habitat so although there was some overlap in what we saw, there were sufficient differences for us to be continually interested.
NW, Carnforth
Highlights “Our overall impression was how lovely all the people were that we met, amazing wildlife and very good food. Our most memorable experience was probably kayaking at Tortuguero although we also did a very good night walk when we were staying at Arenal, and spotted loads of frogs, toads, snakes and spiders.”
JP, Newtown
Most memorable experience: "The amount and variety of wildlife in Tortuguero and Cahuita (which we visited separately). I lived in San Jose from 1978-1981 and never saw so much variety, even including visits to Monteverde...Review: As I used to live in CR and planned some time visiting friends, JLA was able to combine my choice of places to visit with accommodation with my independent arrangements."
JW, Crowborough
Highlights:- Hard to choose, but the noises and sounds surrounding us all day and night, created by all the wildlife was fantastic. Never heard anything like it and loved it. The Costa Rican hospitability is something to live up to they have it right!
ST, Swords
Highlights?: There were so many. Seeing a toucan land in the tree just by our room at El Remanso. Walking down the trail at Monteverde Lodge and a beautiful Morpho butterfly fluttering past in the sunlight. The boat ride at Tortuguero.
KS, Uxbridge
Highlight?: All the wildlife, absolutely amazing
DJ, Usk
It was all pretty memorable but the view of the Arenal volcano from our boat transfer across the lake sticks in my mind. It was a completely clear day and the volcano was steaming. Also the sleeping toucan on the El Refugio Twilight Tour. Also Rio Perdido was a lovely place for a couple of days relaxation.
EW, Newport
Great mix of high adrenaline and chilled activities to suit all the family.
JS, London
Most memorable experiences:Seeing the turtles nesting in Tortugero, the magical Tortugero national park and Monteverde. We also loved Tamarindo to chill and surf!
EdVC, London
We always ask each other what the highlight was, but always fail. It was really the variety. There is really so much to remember.
JS, Bath
Highlight?: Tortuguera boat trip, rafting Arenal, hot springs Arenal, zip wires Monteverde, running on the beach in Uvita - so many lovely memories
SL, London
Highlight? We did a night hike in Monteverde and saw snakes, sloths, owls.
SW, London
Highlight?: The wildlife - watching the turtles lay eggs and a swimming sloth.
ID, London

St, Swords
Everything was amazing...This is the best family holiday we have ever had. Even our 20 year old daughter, who has travelled extensively, agreed that Costa Rica is wonderfully unique. The itinerary provided by Joirney Latin America provided a varied and interestingly diverse view of the country. Each accommodation was memorable and contributed towards an amazing trip. Thank you.
RW, Cheltenham
Highlights? Rafting out of Pacuare, seeing the turtles, kayaking in Tortuguero, zip wire trips, hiking in Pacuare and relaxing on beach in Santa Teresa.
MBW, London
The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.
TK, Leighton buzzard
Turtle watching tour, zip wiring and white water rafting. Also enjoyed seeing all the wildlife living in its natural habitat.
IH, Ipswich
Highlight?: Tortoguero without a doubt-felt truly isolate in the rain forest and it was breathtaking in terms of the biodiversity.
SW, Surbiton
So many brilliant memories but if we had to pick one it was witnessing the sea turtle lay eggs on beach in Tortugero.
