Beacon Escazu

Beacon Escazu was a splendid surprise, from the moment we arrived after a long travel the hotel made us feel at home. The staff was way beyond curteous as we knew them by their names and everyone worked together to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room was comfortable and luxurious the bed and linen comfortable and large. The bathroom clean and with fresh towels daily. The onsite restaurant the Muse provided an exceptional range of selections which were prepared well and served promptly. The staff even surprised me on my Birthday bringing a cake and song to the room after it was mentioned three days before the event. I highly recommend this wonderful Boutique hotel ,I will surely return here on my next trip and will forward the staff and hotel a thank you and gift for the exemplary service.

I ended up at this hotel somewhat by accident. I had to spend an extra night in San José and I found a room available within my budget at the Beacon. It's a great little botique hotel hidden in the old part of Escazú. You would never find this place without the help of the internet. My room was very well appointed, very comfortable and very clean. It was well worth the price compared to other Escazú hotels. The atmosphere in the common area is nice. The trade-off is that it's a little bit off the beaten path. It's a 10-minute drive to the Multiplaza, CIMA Hospital and the new part of Escazú if you know the back roads. By highway it's a bit of a hassle.

We stayed at the Beacon for a total of two nights. The hotel is still-brand new and the rooms are very nice. I've never had better service! The hotel staff was amazing and really did their best to make our stay memorable. The first day we were there, the hotel was so nice we didn't leave all day. The garden is very pretty and the restaurant was great. We really enjoyed the food! The top floor of the hotel is unfinished; you can go up to the third floor for a great view of San Jose down below, or for several mountains up above the hotel. We had a fantastic stay! We would absolutely stay again.

This is a great hotel for your stay in San Jose. I highly recommend it. The service was outstanding, the room was clean and nicely decorated and the restaurant had fantastic food. I'd definitely stay there again!

Best place to stay in Escazul, the service and hospitality were incredible. The restaurant at the hotel provides a true dining expirence. Had one small problem with a hotel taxi , it was solved before I brought it to the managements attention.

I went with a friend of mine and we loved it! The staff was accommodating, courteous, professional, and well-humored. They even arranged our excursions to the rainforest and other areas via e-mail before we arrived! I felt like I could trust all their recommendations. Their rooms are brand-new and the hotel's architecture makes you feel like you're in a small city within a city. The surrounding area was okay, but the hotel really stands out in comparison to the area. There is a small outdoor pool and hot tub that makes you feel like you're in a rainforest. We got free breakfast every morning and you can make free international calls because they have VOIP; however, the calls were not always very clear or would drop altogether. They have an excellent restaurant and bar, but it is pricier than most outside locales. Presentation, service, and abience were excellent! We also ate traditional Costa Rican food, as recommended by staff, at a restaurant located two blocks away. The f...

This hotel was truly one of the best,if not the best hotel I have ever stayed at, and I have traveled to several places, including Paris, Milano, Spain, Scotland, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The hotel itself, landscape, etc was beautiful. The area near the pool and hot tub looked as if you were in a rainforest. The room was very nice, the bed and pillows provided were extremely comfortable. The business center and fitness center were both open 24 hours a day which made it very convenient. One of the biggest pluses was the free local AND international phone calls!!! I've never experienced such a thing! That was great, and allowed me to make phone calls everyday that normally I wouldn't have made. The location was downtown San Jose...about a 20min bus ride and less than $0.50 from the hotel. The hotel was right smack in the middle of the town in a very non-tourist area, which for me I love, being able to see the country from the locals perspecti...

It was absolutley gorgeous. We wish we could have stayed longer. A beautiful place to have wedding. It was in a very safe area. We needed a ride to the airport at the 3:30 in the morning and were accomidated. The airport is only 15 or 20 minutes away. The room were beautiful ad the beds were so very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be staying there again.

The hotel is a real nice propert, it is in a residential area so when we arrived at night it was kind of strange with all the barred windows and gates on the surrounding houses. But the property was secure and we were warned not to go out at night which it typical of most cities anyway. But we did walk around during the day and we felt very safe, no one bothered us and everyone was real nice. The only down side was the pool was way too cold. I dont think the heat was on.
