Wyndham Herradura, a full service hotel near the airport
The Wyndham San José Herradura is a large hotel and convention center 5 km from the airport, on the west side of San José. Rooms are decorated in a colonial hacienda style, and the hotel has the facilities of a resort, which makes it a good stop for families and groups as well as for business.
Why we choose it
- Close to SJO. At 5 km from the airport it is an easy first or last night.
- Rooms for every group. Two queen rooms and junior queen suites sleep 4, and there is a two bedroom Presidential Suite and a Bridal Suite.
- Plenty on site. A pool, a spa and sauna, a casino and nearby golf keep a spare afternoon busy without a drive.
Rooms and views
Rooms are in the hacienda style that suits the old Central Valley, with views of the pool, the gardens or the mountains.
The line-up runs from Standard rooms with two queens (sleeping 4) or a king (sleeping 3) to the Deluxe Tower rooms with the same bed choices. Above those are the Junior Suite with a king, the Junior Queen Suite, the Master Suite for two, the Bridal Suite and the Presidential Suite with 2 bedrooms.
On the property
The outdoor pool is the centre of a lazy afternoon, and the spa and sauna and the fitness center are there when you want them. There is a restaurant and a cafe for an easy dinner without leaving the hotel, and the casino for a game afterwards. Golfers can play the Cariari course next door. The convention center is why the hotel hosts so many events and weddings.
It is not an adults only hotel, and families are welcome.
Location and getting there
The Herradura sits between the airport and the capital, so San José, the Central Valley and the road to Poás Volcano are close for a day out. When it is time to go on to Arenal or the coast, your driver collects you at the door. Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out by 12:00 PM. Read more about the area around Alajuela.
