Best Western El Sitio Hotel & Casino

We stayed here one night when our extended family was flying out of the international airport at 6 am. We had a car and the drive to the airport took about 15 minutes early in the morning. The rooms were clean and comfortable - our rooms were not close to the street or casino (which appeared to be closed), so we did not have any issues with noise. We had three meals at the restaurant - breakfast (included with the room) was good, and I had an excellent filet mignon at a reasonable price. Some food was "just ok", but it met our needs and was convenient for the short stay. Staff was polite and helpful. They allowed us an early check-in on arrival as they were not that busy at that time. less

This proved to be an ideal last location on my group's brief visit to northern Costa Rica. The hotel is kept clean, the staff is helpful, and the little "park" in back has quite a few birds! We were pleasantly surprised to find that the Italian restaurant on the premises had an accomplished chef who turned out excellent and very tasty fare in the Italian tradition. Our young waiter even said that he is an avid birder. The rooms are large and well equipped with amenities. The large pool, however, was reported to be "cloudy," according to my roommate. I should mention that I had requested rooms as far from the noisy casino as possible and that is what were were given. No noise issues for us! I was aware of the two small lagunas (ponds) in the back of the hotel's property, but I was pleasantly surprised to find more species of birds in residence there than I expected. It probably helps that the hotel seems to be providing food for about twenty Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Two Green Herons and a Bare-throated Tiger-Heron and a number of smaller birds were there as well. Altogether, it was a pleasant way to spend our last night in Costa Rica--at least for this trip!. less

The hotel is right across the street from a bar and all night we heard very loud club music until 4:30 am, this was on a Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We slept very little. The pool was dirty, there were a few hairs left on the bathroom sink and toilet, the beds are very hard and springy. The hotel staff was nice and the restaurant was good with very nice wait staff. The location of the hotel is right in town and close to other stores and restaurants. less

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport in Liberia. We only stayed one night. You can easily walk to restaurants, grocery stores, banks, etc. Breakfast was crowded, but good. Playground was fun for the kids. Pool was great to relax and cool off before checking out and heading to our next destination. Room was simple and clean. A/C worked great, WiFi too. Stayed in a room away from the casino, so no problems with noise. less

this hotel was one of the closest to the airport and it did offer a nice breakfast for free. It also has a few nice pools. It seems very crowded with locals using the pool. There is a casino attached to the hotel and there was music booming until about 2 am and we had to get up at 5 to catch our flight so that wasn't good. The bedding was horrible. It had thin blankets and uncomfortable mattresses. The bathroom was small and not so great amenities. They didn't give enough towels. The ice machine was near the eating area which was far from the rooms. less
