Hoàng, Costa Rica

Great breakfast buffet and the airport shuttle was extremely convenient!

Geena, United States of America

The rooms are huge and comfortable. The pool is amazing and walking around the grounds you feel like you’re in a rainforest.

Craig, Australia

This is a beautiful hotel. The staff are so accommodating and professional. Our room on the 4th floor had a stunning view of the city and the mountains. The pool and grounds are immaculate. The airport shuttle service is excellent and timely. We had a redeye flight and were automatically offered a box breakfast, since we would miss the free hotel breakfast; nice touch.

Don, United States of America

Beautiful gardens, delicious food, amazing artwork on the walls. I did not want to leave!

Dominic, United States of America

Very good value for money and a really confortable place.

Diego, Colombia

Wish breakfast could run a bit later, especially after a day of travel. Bell hops always so friendly and helpful!

$5 for a small bottle of water and in the room and $10 for a bag of Lays in the shop sets the tone for their policy. Took two weeks after checkout and several conversations and emails to get the $400 incidental credit card hold lifted. No alternative dining or shops within walking distance (surrounded by highway)

The only thing I would complain about is that they have a Japanese restaurant that has a formal dress code. If you are on vacation, you do not have formal clothes in your bags.
It was a really beautiful hotel. The buffet breakfast was great. The king bed was super comfortable.

Really nice hotel on an easy 10 mins-drive from the city centre of San Jose. Breakfast is fine, it has a great swimming pool (suited for kids of all ages), a nice store, etc. We stayed there for 2 nights when we arrived in Costa Rica and for 1 night before our flight home. Our room had a marvellous view, including the national stadium.
