Alta Las Palomas, a quiet retreat in the city.
Alta Las Palomas is a unique hotel with great service. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay. The only small drawback is the AC is currently out of service. However, we were comfortable in our room with the mountain breeze.

Won’t stay there again!
Air conditioning was broken, they never did nothing to fix it or offer another option to make my stay more comfortable, it is Costa Rica it was HOT, I could not sleep at night due how hot it was. Food was good one day and next day was awful, and then again good. Never consistent.

Arriving in this gorgeous sanctuary of a hotel after a long day on the road was most refreshing, nourishing and exceeded my expectations. The warm welcome with juice and face towel, the service, the staff, the beautiful facility, everything was amazing and like a rejuvenating oasis after the dust of the road. Would definitely book again.

Truly a gem of a hotel. Incomparable views and wonderful staff that went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. A little off the beaten path but very relaxing. Restaurant was delightful and staff was very helpful in arranging tours of the area.

The air conditioning was broken for our 5 night stay and we weren’t informed until after check in. It was very warm during our stay and we had a wedding to attend off site. Getting ready in the hot afternoon was unpleasant and the nights were uncomfortable. They did not offer us any type of refund and we were not able to switch hotels. You just expect more from a luxury hotel. I’m giving three stars because the restaurant staff were lovely.

4/10 Fair

Myself, my wife, and another couple booked the Alta Hotel for a recent stay. We were traveling to Costa Rica for a friends wedding, and we chose the Alta Hotel based on the good reviews, beautiful photos, and its location. There were other more affordable options in the area, but I didn't mind paying more for a really nice hotel. After we checked in and signed everything, we were told that the air conditioning in the entire hotel was broken, and could not be fixed. I totally understand that things happen, however I feel like the hotel should have warned us of this issue before arriving in Costa Rica. We would have not stayed here if we had known ahead of time. I do feel like the fair thing to do would have to given us a partial refund as we did pay a lot of money to stay here. They had a fan in the room, but that did not do much. The entire stay the room was hot and humid. We had a balcony which was nice, but if left open during the day made the room even hotter. The hotel would not give us a refund. They did give us free breakfast for our stay which was nice, but I do still feel like we should have not had to pay as much for our stay due to this problem. It made getting ready for the wedding and sleeping every night very uncomfortable. The room was also not very clean upon check in, however the housekeeping team did do a great job everyday touching it up. The best part of the hotel is the restaurant and staff there. I will leave a separate good review for them.

I go to this hotel often, it is beautiful with awesome views, peaceful and quiet. Recently they have problem with the AC system, it has not been working for a few weeks in the entire hotel. I hope they can fix it soon because it gets pretty hot in the day - however, it is cooler at night so we can sleep well with doors open (with screens).

A picturesque, classy and characterful hotel. We found the lovingly restored building and grounds very charming and relaxing. The location is near good shops, eating options (although the hotel food was also excellent) and amenities, yet tucked away on a nice breezy hill overlooking the city. Super welcoming and homely atmosphere. We will be back!
