We spent the night here before flying home the next afternoon. Charming hostess Marcela made our visit very pleasant; she even cooked dinner for us because there are not restaurants close by. Good breakfast in a beautiful garden; a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the morning before the flight home. More

I had booked another place in Alajuela but it was in the center of town and not what I was looking for.The taxi driver thought I would like Villa Pacande and he was right! I showed up without a reservation and was so thankful that Marcela had a nice clean room for me. I had a nice patio to myself... More

We stayed there upon arrival and before leaving the country. It is exactly what you need after long flight or before one. You need to have your own car to get there. I recommend it! More

I stayed there with my husband on the first night we arrived to Costa Rica. Unfortunately it was farther then we thought, it's actually outside of Alajuela. The breakfast was average (even less), so was the service. The place is pretty clean and the room was big, but we did expect to get more from the hotel for the price... More

We ended up staying 9 nights at Villa Pacande. It became our home base. The grounds are lovely and Marcela was a wonderful host. It was a real oasis outside the bustle of the city.

This bed and breakfast is absolutely amazing, i stayed here for 2 weeks during a medical retreat that I was apart of in poverty ridden parts of Costa Rica.

I found Villa Pacande on the internet while staying in San Jose. We were looking for a good but not too expensive place near Poas to stay for one night and the website sounded as if this might be appropriate. First of all, the pictures on the internet are a bit deceiving. The "villa" is an old house/finca that appears... More

My husband and I just returned from a week long trip to Costa Rica and we began and ended our trip here. It's lovely and the people who run it are very very nice and helpful. Breakfast was nice....coffee, cereal, fruit... NO GALLO PINTO!! ; ) The price is right ($50) and the rooms are clean. Nothing fancy, but we... More
