Hospital Hotel La Catolica

"A family member had surgery a few days! At de financial desk, I paid the amount that they charged! I asked, with this payment, all medical services are covered! They said Yes!! After 24 hrs, my family member was ready to check out! The nurse's desk told me that I need to go to the financial desk to pay, before the patient can go! I was upset, due to the fact I paid enough for 24 hrs! They told me that all services such as: gloves, medications, Hygiene, food, etc, have to be paid! This hospital is old! I paid more than I should have! My recommendation is, not to use this hospital Climic Catolic"

"Great service! The noise of this hospital is beyond comprehension. The workers and nurses talk so loud about their personal affairs and christmast plans! In this sense is very unprofessional. They also had building workers inside the emergency area too, adding to the unconfort.The least a patient in pain wants to hear is unnecessary noise... Other than that it is a Greta place."

"I had gallbladder surgery, which presented a few unexpected complications. Everyone provided outstanding and compassionate care, from the nurses to the surgeons. They listened to my concerns and created a plan that best fit my needs. I have never had such a great experience. I am eternally grateful to everyone who took care of me. Goddess bless you all."

"Bad service. Doctors and nurses with no delicacy or grace. Confusing payments. Do not recommend."

"I cannot recommend this hospital enough! While visiting Costa Rica from Fort Lauderdale, FL, I unexpectedly needed emergency umbilical hernia surgery. From the moment I arrived, every single person—from the security guards and front desk staff to the nurses, assistants, and doctors—treated me with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Alberto Ocampo Rodriguez was absolutely phenomenal. His expertise, compassion, and reassuring nature made what could have been a stressful experience feel incredibly comfortable. In fact, this was the most at ease I’ve ever felt during any medical procedure in my life. The level of care I received here was beyond exceptional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return for future medical services. If you’re ever in need of medical attention in Costa Rica, this hospital should be your first choice!"
