HOTEL EL CHURRASCO * * *
Hotel located halfway between Volcano Poas and Alajuela, offering rooms or small houses with good value for money.
Halfway between Volcan Poas and Alajuela, this hotel is a good place to rest for one or more nights. Take the opportunity to taste the strawberries sold on the roadside near the hotel. Both the rooms and the small houses are an excellent place to stay, both in terms of value for money and in terms of their location, which will allow you to discover the green plains and the pastures where the cows graze. Be careful though, the proximity to the road can be a real problem.

Quizás sólo mencionaría que las toallas ya están un poco viejas, pues tenían hilos colgando en todos lados. La cama también un poco dura.
The location at nearly 2000m ASL is unique in its own right, especially for CR as the air is cooler and more refreshing. Poás Volcano is only a 15 minute drive from the hotel and even downtown SJO is less than a 1.5 hour drive as well. There are some great views from the hotel and area in general.
The restaurant is delicious and serves up great included breakfasts for guests each morning (2 options - typical or continental/western). We had dinner twice in their restaurant as well and as it’s a steakhouse, we had steak both times. It was delicious, even compared to Canadian steak. The staff were very friendly and we were lucky to be dining during the low season so the restaurant was never full.
The hotel itself is amazing - cozy, comfortable and homey. The walls and ceilings are all wood-paneled so it feels like a chalet. Our tv was the best we’ve had in CR as there were multiple English-only channels with great quality video. The shower was always hot when needed, which is a necessity as the nights did get cool.
A very pleasant surprise was that we asked if the hotel did laundry and they do, however we were never charged for it (bless them). They’re truly very nice and generous people!
Do yourself a favor and stay here when in the Central Valley, you won’t regret it!
