I just returned with my wife from our honeymoon in Costa Rica. We were fortunate to stay 4 days at Casa El Dorado in Escazu, San Jose and we are still impressed with our time at this wonderful B&B. The location is truly unique, being so close to all the amenities of the central valley but also in a country... more

If there is a paradise it is Costa Rica, and if there is place to relax and see this paradise, it is Casa El Dorado. A very nice atmosphere and the owners, Axel and Pamela are great hosts. They can book any excursion in Costa Rica you can dream up. The rooms are very comfortable and the view from the... more

As a frequent visitor to Costa Rica, I've always stayed in Major Hotels like the Marriott. This year as my plans were to spent the majority of my trip in San Jose, I decided to try something new. My stay at the Casa El Dorado Hotel & Spa was fabulous. I was able to unwind and enjoy the relaxed environment,... more

I say maybe the best stay ever for lots of reasons. A beautiful home with a beautiful view, both night and day, and the hospitality and food was wonderful. We had just spent a week on a mission trip and needed some down time. The massage was so good the first afternoon when we arrived that we decided to schedule... more

This exclusive Boutique B&B probably has the best view of the Central Valley. My wife and I are still unsure if we are more impressed with the view during the day (3 different volcanoes) or th night view with millions of lights. The Hotel is a beautiful Spanish colonial Villa with lots of stained glass work in doors, windows and... more

This is the place to go, and I almost forget the... more

March 2008 The Casa El Dorado is a great spot and we will return. Owners Axel and Pamela went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable and fulfilling. We felt relaxed and at home. If we asked for anything it was immediately done. They helped us with a myriad of needs from restaurant reservations to local... more

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful boutique hotel in the mountains just above Escazu overlooking the city of San Jose. The colonial-style finca has tons of character and the outside area is beautifully maintained. The view from the hotel garden is spectecular. Our room (Portofino Room) was lovely decorated and came with an oversized closet as well as... more

The view of the San Jose valley is unforgettable, and the facilities, rooms, and location are first class. From my Costa Rica traveling experience, the Casa El Dorado located near Escazu offers greater value and a nicer location than San Jose Hotels. My wife and I wanted to stayed a couple of days near San Jose to enjoy the sights... more
