“Outstanding!!!”

Casa El Dorado Boutique Hotel & Spa

4 of 5 stars
Panama City, Panama
Jul 29, 2008

The property is exquisite.
The owner/operators, husband, wife and daughter, are friendly and very attentive.
The room we stayed in--mini suite--was very comfortable and had a large bathroom and jacuzzi "built for two"!!
We found the accommodations very relaxing and romantic.
Situated almost at the top of the mountain, there is an incredible view from the terrace of the central valley and San Jose.
Breakfasts were substantial and fresh.
Overall--My wife and I truly enjoyed our short stay very much. We will be back soon.

“Loved The Hotel!”

Casa El Dorado Boutique Hotel & Spa

5 of 5 stars
Orange County
May 19, 2008

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 property over looking San Jose is truly amazing. I look forward to coming back next year!

“Loved the Casa El Dorado Hotel & Spa”

1/1 found this review helpful

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, and really felt like I was staying at a friends home rather than a hotel.

Axel and Pamela could not have been more attentive hosts, and were there to help me with the tours I wanted to take and arranging transportation.

I would highly recommend Casa El Dorado to any first time visitors to Costa Rica. Very safe, friendly environment, beautiful accommodations, and having Axel and Pamela there to help guide you in the right direction and help arrange your trip is invaluable.

I will definitely be staying at Casa El Dorado on any future trips to Costa Rica for any time I'm spending in San Jose.

“Maybe the best stay ever!”

Casa El Dorado Boutique Hotel & Spa

5 of 5 stars
Minnesota
May 15, 2008

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 a second massage. Outstanding massage, and we've had many. The unique stained glass windows throughout the house, the feeling of being guests in an incredible home, all contributed to one of the best stays we have ever enjoyed. We definitely will want to return the next time we're in San Jose.
