The manager was going to upgrade us to another room, but it was too far for me to walk with my sciatica. The hotel property was beautiful with a lovely view overlooking San Jose. Nice pool and landscaping! Delicious food for dinner and breakfast and reasonably priced.

Amazing view of San Jose, including sparkling lights at night. It is high above the city which drowns out the city noise, yet just a few minutes from the airport. The surrounding trees and flowers make it so pleasant!

We only stayed here one night, but wished we could have been here longer! The room was lovely and clean, the views were great, and staff was friendly. The grounds were gorgeous, and very enjoyable to walk through. We sat in lawn chairs and watched mot mots, aracari, and other birds. The on-site restaurant was fantastic as well! And they had an airport shuttle. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

The property was beautiful and clean. The only downfall was the lack of air conditioning. We did not think to ask if they had air conditioning because we took it for granted that they had air. We’ve never been anywhere without air conditioning. The other downfall was the shower. It was horrible. There was no pressure at all. It took you a good hour to rinse off.

Fantastic first night in Costa Rica

The hotel was easily accessible from the airport (just 25 minute drive) yet far enough away to feel one with nature. The room was large with a great view and all the staff were very pleasant. We will be back again the night before flying home

Lovely view out over San Jose and more!

This is a perfect small hotel, which we overnighted at between flights returning to USA. The pool was warm enough to enjoy, there were lots of places to use outdoor chairs to enjoy the gardens and the birdwatching was excellent right there. Wonderful to have restaurant right here.
