I would highly recommend staying here if you're in San Jose. It's a quiet oasis amongst the outskirts of the city. The property is very clearly well-maintained. The staff were all amazing. We had a garden view room so although close to the road, we were not bothered at all by road noise. Beautiful & definitely recommend the restaurant as well. The included breakfast was great, but we also had dinner here and the food and service was superb!

We enjoyed the grounds and restaurant very much! Good food and lots of birds in the morning. Dinner was one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica! Staff was great and handed us umbrellas when we drove in during a downpour. Close to airport as well.
