Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

We stayed at this hotel for roughly 24 hours prior to flying out of SJO after returning from the coast. The hotel is quite far from the city center and any attractions, but it is very close to the airport, so I would not recommend staying here for more than a night or two revolving around flights. ||The property is immaculate and immense, the atmosphere is stunning, and the room was quite comfortable for a one night stay. Service was consistently friendly and accommodating. A special shoutout to Kristal in the lounge for going above and beyond!!||The lounge offerings were the only low-point of the stay. The room was very crowded and it offered little privacy. It took nearly an hour for the food to be replenished during happy hour, and breakfast was not much better in speed or quality. There is a live egg station which is highly appreciated, however there is no ventilation from the cooking, so the whole room smells of oil (as did we for the remainder of the day). ||We took the free hotel airport shuttle and were the only passengers in our van, which was a great final impression. Overall, we would stay at this hotel again the next time our travels bring us to Costa Rica if we see our flights demand a stay in San Jose.

This hotel is very beautiful. The rooms are very spacious and the bed is really comfortable. They have plenty of restaurants within, 2 pools, a jacuzzi, a golf course, and a nice walking area. Hillary from the front desk is very attentive and it was one of our family members and she went out of her way to leave a nice note and a slice of cake.

Such a nice high class hotel. The staff is very helpful and wants to make your stay enjoyable. The gym is very nice. The pools are great. We watch NFL playoffs in the lounge and they had it going on almost all of the big screens. Such a nice time!

We stayed at the Marriot Hacienda for 4 days and it was great. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The staff is all very nice and helpful. It was a great experience. Our room was on the 6th floor and we loved the green parakeets that nested in the palms below us. The hotel has a decent gym and we took advantage of he ability to keep up with our lifting during our vacation. I want to give a special shout out to Caleb Samudio. He was very kind and helpful to me when purchasing gift shop items. Next time in Costa Rica, I will stay at this same hotel for my city stays. Thanks for everything. Keep up the good work, Hacienda Belen. :)

Lovely property but our rooms were not ready until 5pm because their key card machine was down. The food is good - especially the breakfast - so many options. Historic property with nice touches and the people are wonderful who work here and in all of Costa Rica that we came across. And if you want an off property restaurant, we loved Il Cavallino - just a 5 minute walk from hotel. Pura Vida!

My family and I stayed here post-Christmas (12/26–12/31) and had a wonderful time. The property is magnificent—it has a historical "haveli" charm with a central courtyard, open verandas, and lots of natural light. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing with cool breezes, lush greenery, and the sound of parrots and exotic birds.|A special shout-out to Brian, who went above and beyond. He gave us a great tour of the grounds and helped coordinate our transport to the volcanoes.|Pros:|• Beautiful architecture and golf course views.|• Peaceful atmosphere full of nature.|• Exceptional service (Ask for Brian!).|Cons:|• The Executive Lounge is a bit small for the size of the hotel; be prepared to wait for a seat during peak times.|Overall, a 10/10 stay. We will be back.

We had 3 rooms for family in December . The hotel is very close and convenient to the San Jose airport. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and it has a large heated swimming pool and a cool water pool. the hotel is historic and beautiful. The rooms are good sized and the beds are comfortable, There are a good range of onsite restaurants and our favorite as we had young grandkids in our party (ages 9, 11, and 12, was the cafe which was open 24 hours and we all loved the breakfast there.

The Marriott Hacienda Belem was great. Some plusses: (1) very safe neighborhood and walkable to a few nice restaurants 200 m east, and some “local” ones 1 km west (2) huge grounds for walking (3) nice series of pools and hot tubs (4) well decorated – it is laid out in a way that both makes it interesting and also still can find my way around (5) helpful staff. (6) very reasonably priced – in early Dec to be fair – for #1-5 above. Not any notable negatives at all.
