If you are not white the workers are not pleasant towards you. False advertisement of gym, spa, and casino. They don’t have any of it. Hotel is really old even the sink makes weird noises and the toilet always leaks every time you flush. Also, workers go in your room to clean even when you do not put up a sign allowing them to. They will turn off your AC and leave windows open for mosquitoes to get in. Free breakfast, more like little finger foods

This was my first time in Costa Rica. I loved that the hotel was super close to the airport and traveling to other cities was extremely easy using Uber and the bus. But, there were seperate beds and the bed i had was a twin so my partner and i couldnt sleep comfortably together. The worst part was having no water when I needed a shower….and the towels were old. However, the Staff was absolutely amazing!! Each one was very helpful and cheerful too. They were pleasant and made the trip very enjoyable.

The rooms were clean and tidy, front desk was generally kind and receptive but the waitress at dinner was a bit cold and even scoffed when i asked for a box for our pizza (me and my 2 year old daughter). Some signage was misleading about rhe spa and 3am buffet (our flight from san jose required we leave the hotel around 330am), the guy at the front desk said someone would be there to make us a coffee, but no one was there. When we were waiting on our taxi (at 330 am) one of the employees approached us outside making sure we paid for our room... it was a lukewarm experience at best. Was really put off by the waitress, but its a nice distance to the airport.

Furniture and room, bathroom was very outdated. Smelled funny inside. Cleaning staff left cleaning supplies. The hotel grounds are huge and it felt very empty. The rooms are large. No shampoo or soap provided and shower had some animal poop. The restaurant staff was ok but not the friendliest. Minimal vegan options at the restaurants. Breakfast was also not the best. Rice and beans had minimal flavor, fruit was good but for a vegan not many other options such as bread or avocado.

This is a wonderful resort hotel with a nice pool and good restaurant that serves some of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Very attentive staff. Well maintained, clean grounds, large rooms with beautiful traditional woodwork. The only negative is our bathroom/shower was a little dated.
