Courtyard Marriott Alajuela
Modern Comfortable Hotel Minutes from Juan Santamaria International Airport in Alajuela!
Courtyard Marriott Alajuela, at Plaza Los Mangos by the airport
The Courtyard by Marriott San José Airport Alajuela is a modern, practical hotel in the Plaza Los Mangos complex on the Radial Francisco J. Orlich in Alajuela, close to Juan Santamaría airport. It suits anyone with an early flight, a late arrival or a rental car to pick up, and families who want a familiar brand for the first night.
Why we choose it
- Close to the airport. If your flight leaves early, you will not need to get up in the dark to make it.
- Shops and food next door. Being inside the Plaza Los Mangos complex means a pharmacy, a coffee or a snack is a short walk away.
- A green building. The hotel was built to LEED standards, which matters to many of our travellers.
Rooms and views
Rooms follow the Courtyard style: clean, modern and designed for travellers, with a desk and plenty of outlets for charging everything after a flight. Each has a TV, a phone and a safe. We will check accessibility with the hotel if anyone in your group needs it, since the hotel's own page is not clear on this.
On the property
There is an outdoor pool for a swim after the plane, a gym, and a shop for anything you forgot to pack. The hotel serves food through the day, and meeting rooms are there for anyone combining business with the trip. Parking is on site, which helps if you are collecting a rental car before setting off.
Location and getting there
Alajuela is the airport city, and from here San José, the coffee farms of the Central Valley and the Poás Volcano are all within easy reach for a day out. Most of our travellers stay one night here and meet their driver in the morning for the road to Arenal or the coast. Read more about Alajuela.

Where it is
Your Costa Rican driver waits at arrivals and stops whenever you like on the way: fruit stands, a sloth in a tree, a bathroom.
