The San Jose International Airport, also known as the Juana Santamaria International Airport, is one of Costa Rica's largest airports, servicing thousands of travelers every day. The airport is located just outside of the city of San Jose and about 20 minutes from major hotels and attractions. Since so many people travel to Costa Rica for relaxation, many hotels and resorts in the area are all-inclusive, meaning the room's price might include such things as breakfast, access to a pool or fitness center, valet parking or concierge.
The Alta Hotel is located in Los Altos de Las Palomas, 20 minutes west of San Jose and close to the airport. Room rates include concierge, continental breakfast, parking, high-speed Internet, and more. Guests are also granted access to a fitness center, wine cellar, Mexican glass-tiled pool, spa and restaurant with split-level dining.
