I love their garden and their breakfast. Also the friendly and helpful staff are a plus. The first room I stayed #18, needs a cleaner sink area. It’s not adequate, not to standards. The location adjacent to the main university grounds is excellent.

Great place to stay
It is a charming hotel with very friendly service. I love the decor and many kinds of flowers. Located so close to the University - 5 minutes and you are on campus. Hotel will arrange tourist trips. Took one last time which was great (coffee plantation, volcanos etc). Would gladly stay there again.

Hotel with a great and relaxing atmosphere
The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere and kind staff. Even with the construction on the road in front of the hotel, it feels secluded and we had an enjoyable stay. The restaurant at the front of the property made it easy to return in the evening and relax with our group while having a good meal. The menu has a lot of options. I’d stay at the hotel again.

Very interesting property with several seating areas outside. Parking limited but generally not a problem. Some road noise in my room even with shutters closed but with several buildings facing different directions, likely different for all. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.

Tropical paradise in the city
Hotel Ave del Paraíso is a beautiful boutique hotel in San Pedro, near San José central. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. It felt more like a home or bed & breakfast than a hotel, and extremely clean. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and typical for the area.

Property is immaculate and staff helpful and friendly, using English. Owner on premises daily. Very warm pool and warm Pacific Ocean beach that is suitable for wading up 100 yards when the tide is in. There is a very nice tourist town within a 10 minute walk at low tide.
