Hi Administrator... Escazu is the safest and highest socio-economical level part of San Jose. People looking for awesome gourmet experiences and Americans moving to Costa Rica decide to stay here. (Even the American Ambassador's House is in Escazu).

Costa Rica is well known for the beaches and for the Volcanoes, but once you are done and ready to go back home, normally you would spend a night or two in San Jose. Shopping, waiting for your plane, etc.

I would recommend to always stay in Escazu while you are in San Jose. In my opinion the downtown is just too dangerous.

Marriot and Inter-Continental have hotels in Escazu, not in the downtown area.

Anyhow, I hope this info comes in handy...

Ciao,

Alex
