Property is great. It has everything. Maybe the spa (massage) could be more friendly. We went for a relaxing massage , left a bit sore and unrelaxed. They could be a bit more responding to the customer needs. There we give 2.5 stars. Other than that , property was great!

The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a very nice area, dining options were in walking distance. We chose to eat at the hotel for my birthday dinner since we got in later than planned. The food was expensive, but not very good at all!

Liked: Cleanliness
This hotel is comfortable, it's fine. Not some luxury palace, here are some pluses. The beds, and I stayed in two different rooms on two separate occasions: are comfortable. Air conditioning - works fine and can adjust down to 18 if needed that cold. Cleanliness, acceptable. Rooms Safe? YES and easy to use. Shower okay, but old. The hotel is older, rooms showing age. Everything works, but aging. So if you are here for an overnight, or a few days, who cares. UBER super easy from this hotel to get to San Jose or Airport. From airport there is a shuttle on the hour, but I used the taxi (no uber) from airport ! Cost about 30 US dollars, to hotel from airport. Coffee in the rooms. Not good, silly. In fact on my second night, the cleaning staff didn't bother refilling or even cleaning my coffee cup. I could have brought it up to management but did not, I wasn't bother by it because I did not bother with the horrible coffee packets. Instead, go to the bar restaurant downstairs. Coffee is free. Super great and really fun! the bar area. Flight crews and temporary travelers hanging out, having a good time. Bartenders are super great. I mean world class, nice people, polite and helpful. The food is good in the restaurant. Hot tip, if you are looking for real Ceviche, order the "Acapulco Ceviche" at the bar. The menu has fried, which is not authentic, yet it is tasty. There was an Italian night with a buffet and real opera singers when I was there. Incredible. So fantastic. I'll B back

Lobby bar restaurant food was delicious. Nice hot showers and clean rooms. Walking distance to a supermarket and many eateries. We did the afternoon city tour with Hector arranged by the excursion desk at the hotel. Hector was very knowledgeable and took us to eat at a typical Costa Rican restaurant. I had the beef stew and it was delicious. My friends had the stew. Pool and hot tub were nice and clean. Front desk gave warm cookies everyday and arranged a hotel shuttle at 4am even though it usually starts at 4am. Loved our stay. Did the chocolate making excursion too which we booked online. There is lots of traffic during rush hour so plan ahead. Easy to book ubers.
