Alta Las Palomas, a quiet retreat in the city.
Alta Las Palomas is a unique hotel with great service. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay. The only small drawback is the AC is currently out of service. However, we were comfortable in our room with the mountain breeze.

Won’t stay there again!
Air conditioning was broken, they never did nothing to fix it or offer another option to make my stay more comfortable, it is Costa Rica it was HOT, I could not sleep at night due how hot it was. Food was good one day and next day was awful, and then again good. Never consistent.

All was great, staff was nice, property is beautiful, the AC was not working and that really makes the experience uncomfortable. Also the rooms are a bit outdated.

Arriving in this gorgeous sanctuary of a hotel after a long day on the road was most refreshing, nourishing and exceeded my expectations. The warm welcome with juice and face towel, the service, the staff, the beautiful facility, everything was amazing and like a rejuvenating oasis after the dust of the road. Would definitely book again.

Truly a gem of a hotel. Incomparable views and wonderful staff that went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. A little off the beaten path but very relaxing. Restaurant was delightful and staff was very helpful in arranging tours of the area.

The air conditioning was broken for our 5 night stay and we weren’t informed until after check in. It was very warm during our stay and we had a wedding to attend off site. Getting ready in the hot afternoon was unpleasant and the nights were uncomfortable. They did not offer us any type of refund and we were not able to switch hotels. You just expect more from a luxury hotel. I’m giving three stars because the restaurant staff were lovely.
