This historic mansion is located in the center of downtown San Jose's historic district. The historic district only consists of about 4 square blocks. All of the historic structures were designed and built by European Mason's. The national theater, and museums are all a few blocks away from the mansion. All of Costa Rica's culture and history is located in this unique section of the city.

Direction tips:

In Costa Rica, formal addresses are not used, everything is explained in relation to other buildings. So when you ask your driver for our location, we are '50 metros oeste de INVU, en frente equipos nieto' In english that says we are 50 meters east of the INVU building across the street from Equipos Nieto in Barrio Amon.

Golf: Costa Rica has several golf courses ranging from wide forgiving fairways, to tight difficult fairways with multilevel greens. The courses are very unique and all relatively new. They are unique in the fact that they are all Jungle courses, or jungle and ocean course mixed. The views are breath taking and the foliage is amazing. There are several golf tournaments that are sponsored here in the months of January-June that any player can take advantage of. Many world class golfers have spoken the words that these are some of the most challenging and beautiful courses they have ever played.

The Mansion

5 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
The Mansion lived up to the billing. My group of 5 decided to rent the entire facility. From the transportation at the airport to the arrival and the accommodations (a former Brittish Embassy) including the marbles floors, exquisite artwork and the detailed woodworking exceeded expectations. The house provides an attentive staff who strives to exceed every expectation and anticipate your needs. It's very clean and well maintained during our stay.. The six bedrooms are large, well furnished with nice amenities and the monogrammed towel were a nice touch. Scott, the GM and the Chef prepared several outstanding meals inclulding breakfast lunch and dinner that was prepapred using fresh local entrees, fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices added for the Costa Rican flair. With over 13,000sq feet, wi-fi and security and the location in the heart of downtown near many local attractions my group is already making plans to return. Congratulations to Dr. Jason and Scott for providing a first class experience. I have been to San Jose several times and the Secret Mansion will rank at the top of my selection list because we demand quality. Best, K.R.
