Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

Many hotels close to the Juan Santamaria International Airport, near the capital of San Jose serve only one main purpose - to provide a first/last night stay in the country after arriving and before leaving, especially if flights are at funny times. The Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen is not one of those hotels.

It’s in fact, a true resort in itself, deserving of a few days rest and relaxation while enabling you to explore and get to know the Central Valley. And yes, it's close to both the international airport and downtown San Jose to keep that added convenience!

Unlike many of the main brand hotels around San Jose, the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen is not some grey business hotel taking up a city block. It's out in the countryside, on its own 30-acre coffee plantation. The original hacienda here dates back to the 16th-century, and is honored in the hotel's name and the decor you'll find inside.

Nowadays, with the full force of the famous and trusted Marriott brand behind it, the hotel is one of the most comfortable places to stay in the Central Valley.

With almost 300 immaculate bedrooms, the Costa Rica Marriott retains a true resort feel close to the city. Each room comes with exquisite furnishings and decor nodding back to the hacienda's colonial heritage, but with the modern touches you'll find in any Marriott property. Flat screen cable and satellite TVs, wifi, mini-fridges, coffee makers, luxurious bathrooms, and more. You'll enjoy mountain, garden, or pool views from your balcony, and sometimes a glimpse of the San Jose city skyline in the distance.

Outside your room, you'll find everything you need for a true resort experience including two pools, a golf driving range, tennis, and fitness center. The Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen also features onsite shops, an ATM in the lobby, business center, and plenty of space for conventions, weddings, and get togethers.

If you're a lover of spas and seeker of wellness, you'll enjoy their full service Kuö Spa. It offers a wide variety of body and beauty treatments using coffee, volcanic ash, and other natural ingredients from Costa Rica.

The Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen features five different restaurants for you to enjoy during your stay. The Hacienda Kitchen features Costa Rican gourmet cuisine and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A buffet breakfast is included in the nightly rate at the Marriott, and it's here where you'll enjoy that in the morning.

Elsewhere around the resort there's the La Isabela steakhouse, the La Castilla sushi bar, and the Casa del Café coffee shop. The hotel also has its own sports bar, Bar 10, for guests to enjoy, also serving lunch and dinner.

Guests looking to explore the local area will find easy access to city tours, coffee plantations, volcanoes, hiking, and much more. The Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen is close to everything the Central Valley has to offer and is a convenient place to spend a few days in before heading to the beach or elsewhere in Costa Rica.
