The owners of the hotel are very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we got our breakfast when we needed it and took us to the airport at a very early hour.

Perfect location to explore the Poás area. Beautiful hotel grounds and vistas of the surrounding area. Our bed was comfortable, and the room was clean, spacious, and artfully decorated. Breakfast was a yummy traditional Costa Rican breakfast with eggs, gallo pinto, cheese, avocado, and plantain. Great coffee, too. Our host was friendly, helpful, and always available. We would stay here again.

Probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in. It's brand new and they were super kind. The food was amazing, the bed and room was lovely and they even had free laundry, which was so amazing as the last hotel tried to charge me $20 to do a load. Amazing staff. Highly recommended.

I liked the availability of a shuttle to the airport as much as the free breakfast as well. The staff was the best. Laura is fantastic. She was so nice and helpful. The guys there too. They helped us find a car to rent and provided all the information we asked for. Laura deserves a raise.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport.

    I was there one night because it was close to the airport. I would not hang out there for a significant length of time. Not a good place to be after dark. Also came across a suitcase on a sidewalk. It had obviously been stolen and rummaged through.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need.

    Just a medium sized town with everything you need. There is a Wal Mart, Denny's and lots of other restaurants, stores and cafes. There is not a lot to see in the town for tourists, but it is easy to get into San Jose where you can get a bus to Jaco which has a great beach. You can walk into the town easily and it felt very safe, but I recommend taking the local bus. I would only go here to get to another place, but for a day or 2 it is a nice town to visit.

    San Jose and the area around the airport doesn't have much to recommend it beyond getting in and out of the country. After driving around for two hours to see the highlights, we agreed we couldn't get out of the city fast enough. We ate at the Taj Mahal location near the hotel (had come highly recommended as we'd heard it was the best Indian food around and was an iconic location with peacocks walking around, etc), but the airport location is just an open air restaurant in a strip mall next door to a Starbucks.

    Alajuela was central for us as we visited La Paz the first day and it was an easy drive back after hiking up and down to see the waterfall and gardens at La Paz. Served as a good jumping off point the next day for a visit to downtown Sam Jose, the National Theater, the museum and central market.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it.

    We spent 30 days in Costa Rica and loved it. Alajuela was only for flying to and from Costa Rica. It has horrible traffic and nothing worth seeing that I know of. But its airport has better flight connections for us than Liberia airport. The airport itself is good, but getting in and out is a hassle!

    The breakfast was hands down the best breakfast I had in Costa Rica. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we're cared and catered for. Special shoutout to the bartender Tomas, Jen (reception girl with the dog!) and Angie the waitress. Those people were beyond hospitable and they're the heart of the property. The restaurant is very underrated because we had some of the best food in San Jose right there. Folks staying usually ditch the hotel and go to eat outside, trust me, you have to try the food in their restaurant!!

    Close to the airport. Comfy beds. Decent breakfast. Didn't try the pool so can't comment. Great if you need a night near the airport. Restaurant in hotel with limited menu. Denny's a matter of steps away, not the best meal we've had in Costa Rica but certainly the most expensive!
