    I've stayed at the Orquideas Inn 4 times now. It's a great place for the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica. They have transportation to and from the airport for $10 and even though both times our flight was an hour late, the driver was right at the door to the airport to meet us. The staff at the hotel were all very accommodating and friendly.

    We stayed in one of the roadside rooms which can get a little noisy in the mornings with the traffic and trucks coming down the hill but it didn't bother us since we had to wake up early. There are other (more expensive) rooms available away from the roads if you like your beauty rest.

    The rooms are simple and clean with in room coffee, cable tv, air conditioning, free local calls, and good hot water.

    The hotel has a nice pool and a secluded hot tub

    There is a Marilyn Monroe themed bar that is a fun place to meet other travelers as well as a restaurant upstairs. The food in the restaurant is good and you can eat in the bar area as well. You can charge your bar tab and restaurant bill to your room but I advise paying as you go so that you don't get any "surprises" when you check out.

    The only problem we had was a discrepancy on our food/bar bill. We were charged an extra $20 for wine that we did not order or drink but the manager took the charges off our bill when we checked out the next morning.

    A wonderful buffet breakfast is included and is served by the pool. Breakfast included rice, potatoes, fried yucca, sausage, orange juice, yams, plantains, coffee, as well as a made to order omelets and pancakes. There was a parrot climbing on the fence and there were also an aviary with three beautiful toucans nearby.

    The grounds are also very lush with some trails good for a short walk.

    Orquideas Inn & Resort is located just 10 minutes from the International Airport in San Jose/Alejuela, Costa Rica. The hotel is on 10 acres of gardens. The rooms are spacious and decorated in lively colors. A full & delicious breakfast is included, as well as welcome drinks in the bar when you arrive. This is a perfect place to spend your first and last night in Costa Rica since it is located near the airport.

    They have their famous Marilyn Monroe bar, which is covered in Marilyn Monroe memoribilia. They have a fantastic restaurant on the 2nd floor overlooking the valley. Their pool is beautiful. And they have a book exchange, so you can grab a free book and leave the one you were reading.

  • Directions: It is on the corner of 2 roads that intersect. One road takes you to the Poas Volcano and the other to the towns of Sarchi/Heredia/Grecia. It is a little difficult to get to, so make sure you down load their map and get written instructions.

    Hopped a cab (tho the hotel will also arrange transport if you like), settled in, and then tood a walk on the very large, beautiful grounds. Went to their cozy bar and restaurant to wait for my friends. It's priced like US food/drink. The rooms are really nice with air-cond. There are lovely countryside views and patios.

    The staff was very helpful with tours or transport. Asking nicely they let me wiggle behind the counter to use the internet.

    Nice trails on the grounds. Pool, bar, restaurant, tour arrangement - really a one stop shop that makes one's arrival or departure easy. Not much to stick around but a good pass-thru.
