Really great experience--stayed in room 109 twice where you really get the good view, and I loved falling asleep and waking up to the beautiful view of San Jose. Everyone at the hotel is really nice and accomodating. I'd definitely stay again. Gave it 4 stars b/c the restaurant food is just so-so--but they do have an extensive menu. more

I booked this hotel as just a place to stay to get to and from the airport, and be the start and finish to our vacation. I didn't expect that it would be so nice!!!!!! The staff was very helpful.

The Good Pick up at the airport - wonderful, great to have them waiting for us amid a somewhat crazy arrival scene driver - wonderful,... more

Great location to base your airport coming and goings. On the road to Poas with a wonderful view of Alajuela and a nice self guided coffee trail tour. more
