El Rodeo Estancia is a 29-room boutique hotel in Belén, Heredia, on the Santa Ana radial and a few minutes’ drive from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). It’s a family business with more than 45 years of history, founded by Don Antonio Jiménez and run today by his children and grandchildren.
What separates it from the usual airport hotel is that it isn’t a transit stop. The property sits on generous grounds with gardens, a pool and a tennis court, and it houses El Rodeo Steak House, one of the best-known grill restaurants in the metropolitan area. That makes it work equally well for an overnight before a flight and for a weekend near San José without leaving the Central Valley.
If you’re arriving late or leaving on an early departure, this is a practical alternative to the chain hotels clustered around the airport — same convenience, more space, and a serious restaurant on site.
Rooms
The 29 rooms are split across four categories. All are finished with wooden floors and natural materials.
Standard Room
Naturally lit room with wooden floors. Two queen beds, air conditioning, cable TV, in-room safe (laptop compatible), private bathroom, hair dryer, telephone, work desk and complimentary internet.
Deluxe Room
More spacious than the standard, with the same wooden finish and natural light.
Junior Suite
Spacious room with two queen beds and a bathroom with tub.
Suite
The top category: king size bed, large tub, its own living and dining area, and a garden view. The hotel recommends it for honeymoons and anniversaries.
