Very friendly staff, wildlife and plant life around the property and close location to the airport. It was also quiet for sleeping.

We loved villa margarita. Margarita the owner could not have done enough for us. She looked after everything we needed, gave great advice, served delicious food and made us feel really welcome.

Actually I can't think of any negatives

The location is very convenient, outside of San Jose and with easy access to the Airport. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. An extra joy was to watch the fruit bats zooming around and eating fruit after nightfall.

We loved Villa Margarita. It was such a beautiful place to rest after a very long flight. We arrived later in the evening and Margarita greeted us and made us a delicious dinner. The property is gorgeous with so many flowers, butterflies and birds. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Margarita and wished we could have stayed longer. The grounds and rooms are so pretty. Everything is clean and comfortable. There are a lot of different trees and flowers on the property and we saw so many birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Just strolling the grounds is so relaxing. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The bed super comfortable. There is a small open-air restaurant on the property and it's so cute. Skip the expensive hotels coming in and out of San Jose and give this place a try. You will not regret it.

Nothing - there is no TV in the room which for me was a good thing! The soap dispenser in the bathroom was a bit broken, but useable - if I am to be very fussy!

The property was close to the airport and we were able to walk to local restaurants (5-10min) and even to Rescate wildlife rescue (Zooave). The family room with the green beds was really spacious and had a full sized fridge. The owner was really lovely and helpful, she gave us a lift at one point and had many suggestions of things we could try. Breakfasts were delicious. The pool was very welcome. The gardens were lovely and teaming with birds. The children’s play area was more substantial than it appeared on photos and had monkey bars and hanging rings that were more than suitable for my older kids (& adults!) I had been slightly worried about the dogs being problematic but they were not an issue, very laidback and unobtrusive. We were also able to get an Uber eats delivery and eat it there in the evening

There was nothing we didn’t like. It was a very good experience.

The location is beautiful. The room was quiet and very comfortable. We were able to keep our car secure at Villa Margarita while we were travelling outside Costa Rica for two weeks. It is excellent value and easy to get to/from the airport. Margarita is an excellent host. We plan to stay again when needed.

Lovely rooms in a very scenic setting, with humming birds and nice gardens. Margarita has some very friendly dogs who were happy for our children to pet them. Breakfast was really tasty.

There was nothing that could have been better. Everything was perfect!

The breakfast was outstanding! Everything was delicious and I was super-impressed with the presentation of the butter and jam!

Nothing! The location isn't as breathtakingly gorgeous as places further from the airport, but for a first and last night of a trip I think this is just unbeatable.

So pretty and pleasant and easy, close to the airport but peaceful and quiet, and Margarita was super friendly, very down to earth, let us play with her many dogs, and cooked us a delicious breakfast in a really pleasant setting. I would go back for my first and last night of every Costa Rica trip - convenient to the airport, but you feel like you're on vacation right away.

We just felt that the price didn’t quite reflect the overall standard. But this is possibly all the extra charges applied by booking.com and wouldn’t have been as high a price if we’d have booked direct! Worth noting that a lovely German family with 5 kids (whom our kids enjoyed playing with) were hosting while the owner was on holiday. So our experience may have been better, worse, same or just different had the host herself been there.

Really lovely feel to the whole property. Nice pool area. Lovely room. Great big extra king bed and lots of space. Hot shower (although flow was a bit poor). And quiet neighbourhood with lots of birds and cicadas and iguanas. Hosts super accommodating with an early check in and helped us with various things and booked us an airport taxi to leave too.

Not much -- the fan was sufficient for us, but an A/C may be nice when it is warmer outside.

Amazing breakfast Host is incredibly attentive and responsive. It made our visit feel like staying in someone else's house Beautiful Gardens Kids loved the playground and dogs (one of whom is very good at soccer) Spacious room, comfortably fit all four of us

Floors could have been cleaned better but I am also picky about cleanliness.

The staff was exceptional and our children were in heaven there with all the dogs, the swimming pool, and space to run around.
