Villa Margerita is an amazing cozy place to stay. The owner and the staff are super nice and make you feel welcomed. We spent one night in transition from SJO to the Arenal but ai would have spent more days just relaxing in the area. Defintely a 5 star!

This was the perfect place to stay after we landed in CR. We got there at 10:45 pm and we were greeted by our host Margarite and one of her super friendly dogs. We were offered food and beverages which was very kind of her at such a late hour. The room was more than we even needed and we had a great sleep. Breakfast was delicious and we headed out shortly thereafter to catch the Ferry to get to Santas Tresea. Perfect location not too far from the airport but you get out of the hustle and bustle and an easy drive from there to our next destination. Make sure you use Waze for directions. There is no sign at the road for the hotel but once you get down a short lane way you will see it!
