Hotel Javy

I accept that we all review based upon our own expectations and those may be different than others. My family was looking for a hotel relatively close to the airport after our two week Costa Rican vacation. This place got great reviews. It was hard to find especially at night; streets are dark, no street signs. It’s behind a large concrete wall topped with barbed wire. There’s a large metal gate that they have to open to let you in. When we checked in, they handed us towels and put bars of soap on the top of them. I honestly thought I was being booked into county. The rooms were very basic and clean. Not decorated, bare walls. Hardest pillows I’ve ever encountered. Is not convenient to the airport due to the traffic and narrow roads. There’s a sign next to the toilet asking you not to flush paper. It’s in a residential area that’s very dark and I didn’t see any commercial establishments anywhere near there. The reviews/pictures did not paint an accurate picture in my opinion. For me this is a two bubble hotel. At best.

Lovely 2 night stay to begin our Costa Rica trip. Clean, quiet, spacious and very comfortable room. Very friendly and helpful staff who arranged our taxi pickup from airport and La Leona waterfall tour. 20 minutes walk to downtown. Amazing breakfast.
