Hotel Buena Vista offers great value in a picturesque mountain setting, yet is conveniently close to the San Jose International Airport (15 minutes) and to the Poas Volcano.
The atmosphere is that of relaxed tranquility at an altitude of 4185 feet above the noise and distractions of the city. The views from the second floor balconies or the grounds are breath taking. The central valley with San Jose, as well volcanoes Irazu, Barva, and Poas are laid out before you.
