6/10 Good

The service was incredible and the staff was very attentive and friendly. It was a very older hotel and very outdated. The bed was very uncomfortable and I had a long flight the next I had to leave because I needed a good night sleep.
Navil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at hotel Alta La Paloma’s. Amazing hospitality, our room was ok, our view on the balcony made up for it! Beautiful scenery, amazing food. The perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Santa Ana, Costa Rica. The is an animal rescue in walking distance, which was a plus, all proceeds go to help the animals. There is also a butterfly sanctuary not too drive far from the hotel, which was super nice,

If you are looking for a quiet hotel this is the place. It has charm but a little dated. The restaurant and pool is wonderful. Nice amenities when you arrive.

The driveway needs a redesign, I requested a toothbrush and they charged me $5 and the space just seems a bit tired. The staff was wonderful!
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was absolutely stunning. When we arrived we were so frustrated from the drive but the staff gave us a welcome refresher drink and accompanied us to our room. We ate dinner and breakfast and both meals were hot, very tasty and simply delicious. I wish we would have stay 6 days at this luxury hotel.
Beautiful arrangement in restaurant.

Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was a gem. There were minor things in need of touch ups due to the age of the hotel which is understandable but it honestly just added to the beauty. It was private and quiet and we felt like we were in a palace. The rooms were beautiful, the hotel had so much charm and the little added touches they included for us were such a treat. Possibly my favorite hotel we stayed at.
