Our flight with COPA was cancelled and we were sent to the Ramada. We arrived at 2:30 p.m. and received our room at 4:30 p.m. while other regular guests received theirs much before. A low-priced, poor quality buffet lunch was prepared for us and we didn’t have “the right” to be seated in the restaurant; we were sent to a... More

I found this to be a Dr. Jeckell/Mr. Hyde place. It was Dr. Jeckell for the first evening of my stay and most of the next day. It is well located within reasonable distance of the airport. Downtown is reachable in a taxi. Seems clean with a good breeze throughout the establishment which make the place comfortable. But then on... More

My first review of a hotel ever. DON'T stay in this dump. I don't know how it got a 4 star rating. Our stay started out well enough. The man who met us at the door and took our bags to our room was very nice, friendly and informative and the people at the reception desk were the same. The... More

Recently stayed at this hotel for a conference. They have a free shuttle running to the airport every hour, I'm sure you can get that shuttle to the hotel as well if you plan ahead. There is a large pool in the back of the hotel and a restaurant serving typical Costa Rican food right next to the pool. There... More

After a hard day trying to get on a flight out of San Jose we really just wanted a nice room for the night. Which we got here. Two double beds and huge bathroom. Our room faced the road rather than the pool and was therefore relatively noisy. Had nice dinner at the restaurant. Breakfast buffet is ok, but nothing... More

This most likely was a nice hotel back in 1979 but it hasn't been updated since then. The service was good in the hotel. However, the bar is not part of the hotel and wouldn't let you charge to your room or even use the same credit card that was used to check-in at the hotel. I'd also be careful... More

Because most beaches and the volcano are three hours from airport, great night before free shuttle which leaves about every 15 min to airport. Hotel interior rundown, but rooms suitable with down bedding and AC. Mall across the street if bored. More

This place is huge, aging, place that makes its revenue holding events. As a guest, I was shunted to the back of the hotel and sentenced to a musty space behind the kitchen and the swimming pool. Took me15 minutes to find it. Nice casino, decent breakfast. I much preferred the Doubletree where I stayed the beginning of my trip. More
