The Cariari B&B was like a home away from home. The staff is so warm and welcoming. They were very accommodating when we requested an earlier breakfast. The inn is charming and the grounds are beautiful. There is an incredible roof top deck/lounge area to relax and dine. It is in a perfect location for a stay before or after flying out of San Jose. It was a memorable experience!

We loved our stay. Lorie was the ultimate hostess and welcomed us with a beverage and great patio space to hang out as we arrived earlier than check in time. Breakfast excelled and no one could go hungry with so many options. She is a people person and had many stories to share. The dogs, cats and parrot were also very welcoming. A great stay!

Our stay was amazing! Miriam and Gerardo took care of my husband and I while we were in town for a business event. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. They treated us like family and were very attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast for a nice, relaxing stay.

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at The Cariari B&B, and it was an unforgettable experience. The property was absolutely gorgeous and the staff made us feel at home. The room was spotless, huge bathroom and bed was very comfortable. The property was walking distance to various restaurants and shops. The area felt very safe, we walked to the stores and restaurants at night. I highly recommend The Cariari B&B. The owner and her staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our time there. We can't wait to return!

This was a perfect spot to stay near airport. Fantastic host greeted us warmly, beautiful and unique home. Great comfortable king bed and large bathroom en-suite. The breakfast spread was incredible, sitting out on the patio listening to the birds and rain. We will definitely be back!

We LOVED staying here! Laurie was not there but Miriam was and she was so wonderful! She cooked us a fantastic breakfast each day and helped us with our Spanish! She kept our room immaculately clean and was so friendly. We even met her husband and nieces and we all had ice cream the last night we were there. We will definitely stay there again!

Laurie was very kind and welcoming and made sure to give instructions in advance how to get here from the airport. The room was clean and had everything we needed with access to a lovely balcony. Miriam is a wonderful cook and made an excellent breakfast the next morning. A menagerie of friendly pets also welcomed us.

Hospitality and Charm!
Our family of five had an absolutely wonderful stay here - The hospitality was above and beyond and the property is beautiful. Laurie and Miriam are wonderful hosts. Miriam made the worlds best pineapple pancakes for breakfast and we had such lovely conversation with the hosts. My three kids loved their sweet dogs and parrot. Thank you for the incredible hospitality!

The property is pity old and hasn't been updated. It still looks in the 80's. The host and the service was great. The electricity went away twice, the property should have a backup to have guests staying in B&B. Doesn't even have an AC.

Exceeded all expectations! Laurie was beyond a great hostess. She’s so down to earth, caring & tells it how it is. The immense pride she has for her B&B shows in her hospitality. I showed up after 2am and she got up and helped me in like it was any other check in time. Her staff member Mariam is so friendly and amazing chef, all food is cooked fresh and you will never ever leave hungry. My stay feels too short! Thanks for an amazing stay & I hope to return soon

We only stayed one night at the Cariari b&b before flying back to United States, we had a great fun time there. Laurie, the lady that manages this place is remarkable, she can help you with any questions you have about the area, the food and activities and about Costa Rica in general. Miriam is Laurie’s sidekick is also very helpful. The b&b location is perfect, close to a plaza with several restaurants, and also very convenient to the airport and rental car places. The happy hour with beer and wine and snacks was a nice surprise and the breakfast was very very tasty and filling. If you are looking for a place in San Jose that is also in a close proximity to the airport, do not hesitate and book Cariari Bed and Breakfast.

What an incredible experience we had at Laurie's bed & breakfast. Laurie was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything! and helped us to customize our time in Costa Rica. She had great suggestions on where to go, what to do, and places to eat and we enjoyed all of it!!! She definitely made our trip memorable. She is a very gracious and welcoming host. She and Miriam made us the most delicious breakfasts daily, I especially loved the pineapple pancakes, as well as a yummy snack when we arrived! They were truly there to take care of our every need and it was much appreciated! Miriam is an angel and the sweetest lady ever! Such a great experience! Cant wait to go back and see more of Costa Rica and see Laurie & Miriam again!
