Awesome place, fantastic staff
"My kids and I had a great experience staying at Adventure Inn. Everyone was so helpful and friendly!... The rooms were clean and bright, the restaurant was great and the pool and lounge is so beautiful!... We will definitely stay here when we pass through SJ again."
Fabulous place near the airport
"We booked at Adventure Inn as it was convenient for the airport, the free shuttle being an extra bonus... All the staff that we met, were friendly and helpful, and made our stay a lovely experience. Our onward transfer was also arranged by Adventure Inn, which went seamlessly."
Highly recommended
"I love bringing groups to Adventure Inn for many reasons. Being super close to the airport, kindness and genuine involvement of the staff, wonderful quality of the grounds and rooms, and good food... Adventure Inn provided the perfect home base to start and end our trip... Highly recommended and we will be back."
Feels like coming home
"This is my third stay at Adventure Inn... when I walked in Paula at the front desk greeted me by name! The Adventure Inn feels like coming home! The room was great, love the food, and the pool is magical!"
Search no further! Book it! Rental Car and all! So easy and stress free.
"This truly is the place to stay when flying in and out of SJO airport. Only 15 minutes from SJO. This was our 7th or 8th stay at Adventure Inn and, as always, it was terrific!... The rates are very good and the car is delivered to you at the Inn, and that’s where you return it... Whatever you need help with (tour recommendations, bus or shuttle information, etc.) they are there to help. Just book it!"
A great place to stay!
"My husband and I have stayed at the Adventure Inn many times over the years... So, not just a hotel for a one-night stay!... We have always found the staff at Adventure Inn to be attentive and very friendly. They go out of their way to be helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. A great place to stay! We are counting the days until our next visit!"
