Terrazas de Golf Boutique Hotel offers direct access to Cariari Golf Course and transportation to Juan Santamaría International Airport, which is 5 km away. It offers free WiFi, massage, free parking and 24-hour reception. Cecelia, her staff and her children Irene and Roberto went above and beyond on my stay. I felt cared for like an intimate family member. Classical music playing in the morning and her staff providing food to the birds and squirrels each morning from the breakfast view made me feel like I was in a storybook.
