HOTEL DESCRIPTION: Nestled in the verdant central valley, the Melia Cariari is only 5 minutes from the international airport and 7 miles from downtown San Jose, Costa Rica. We have been pampering foreign heads of state, celebrities, business travelers and vacationers for two decades, so we've gotten pretty good at it.

There's never a compromise in comfort, service, food or fun at the Melia Cariari Hotel Conference Center and Golf Resort. We are recognized as the nation's premier luxury resort and serve as the perfect base for discriminating visitors. Only the Melia Cariari offers guests so much to come home to after a long day exploring the wonders of Costa Rica.

Each of the Melia Cariari Hotel and Country Club's 220 magnificently furnished rooms and suites has remote control TV, air conditioning, safety deposit box, electronic key system, mini bar, direct dial telephone and 24 hour room service. Suites and many of the rooms open to the pool or offer private balconies

There's always action at the Melia Casino, with international games of chance and video slot machines. A choice of fine restaurants offer gourmet dining in an atmosphere of formal elegance, sumptuous seafood and brunch buffets and a relaxed poolside coffee shop featuring Costa Rica's specialties.
