San Jose Hotels

The key consideration to planning the single male vacation in Costa Rica is destination and choice of hotel. While there are a variety of options it pays to be an informed tourist as while many hotel operators are willing to accept your money they are not always willing to accommodate your interests or really discuss them up front.

We have put together this summary together based on experience in downtown San Jose, and hope that it will serve as a guide to plan your adventure. Also be sure to check out our packages.

While there are many hotels in San Jose that are suitable to the single male lifestyle we feel that the above mentioned are the best overall based on location, security and permissiveness toward the single male lifestyle.

Nuevo Johnson

The classic budget hotel in San Jose is located on the edge of the central market area, which is dubious after dark. Room rates increased from $10 to $15 in 2009, and there is a $5 fee for female guests. Although the facilities are lacking this is a good best option for a limited budget.

Vesuvio

The hotel has recently become permissive of the single male lifestyle, however rooms start at $50 and at this price are badly in need of a remodeling. The Tiquicia for $35 a night or the Nuevo Johnson are better value at $15 per night.

Morazan

Another long time favorite of single male travelers the location is a block from the Hotel Del Rey and is often a good value. While you must keep an eye out for your valuables and be careful as soon as you exit the front door the hotel has a loyal following of repeat visitors. Negotiate and you may be able to get a rate under $50.

Europa

Located on the edge of Barrio Amon the area at night is best navigated by taxi. The majority of hotel guests are on budget tour packages, although the hotel is generally friendly to the single male traveler.

Little Havana

The rooms are luxurious but so is the price, perhaps $100 to $200 although difficult to confirm as room rates are never posted. The management is responsive, so a good deal can be had through negotiation.

Marruecos

Offers economy rooms with sparse facilities at rates under $30, however an armed robbery occurred in 2009, and no visible changes were put in place to prevent future problems.

Hotel M

Located just outside the city center in San Pedro the Hotel M is perhaps the most upscale hotel for the single male traveler in San Jose. Room rates start around $150 and the hotel is equipped with a restaurant, business and fitness center.
