Stayed there on our last night in Costa Rica before flying back to .Canada Everything was great~ food, internet, general state of the Hotel , staff and room. The only negative was the hard mattresses, many other people felt that the mattresses were uncomfortable.
There is a Mall nearby however not sure if it's safe to walk there since there wasn't a sidewalk and a lot of traffic. We were told a Taxi would be about $3.00.

Looking at some of the reviews for this hotel, I was a little surprised. I had a wonderful stay here at three different times during a recent visit to Costa Rica. A travel agent picked this hotel for us, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms. The rooms are large, and the beds are comfortable. Everything was super clean and working, although I agree with the reviewer who commented on the low water pressure in the showers. The front desk went out of their way to be helpful and friendly (Eylin is a superstar) as did the bar staff. The breakfast is included and is outstanding. This is not the cheapest place I stayed in Costa Rica, but it is one of my favorites.

We spent a night here before returning to the united states. The rooms are comfortable, the food really good and the staff very friendly. It's a 15 minute trip to the airport. The Internet is complimentary and the provide computers and a printer in their business center so you can print your boarding passes. Not much else to do in the area but there are three restaurant choices in the parking lot if you want to eat outside of the hotel.

We stayed three nights and I probably should have tried to get some of the maintenance issues addressed, but I was lazy. The rooms have individual airconditioners under the windows. The temperature knob on ours was broken off, so it was difficult to regulate the temperature and at times it got too cold. The shower had a very weak flow with not all of the water diverted to the shower. It was not as hot as I would have liked.

The line on the hair dryer was riduclously short -- only about 8 inches long.

The elevators are down a rather long hall from the lobby. If you have a room above the first floor with a room number ends in less than 25, you will be "back tracking" a lot. Our room number was low and were overlooked the highways (but noise was not a problem at all).

There is a nice gym by the pool. It was very nice and cool. There is a pleasant view, but no TV. There are free weights, 2 treadmills, two bicycles, and two ellipticals.

There is a breakfast buffet with omelet station. Some of the items on the breakfast buffet are clearly leftovers from the night before -- odd hors d'oevres and dry sandwiches or other oddities.
