The included breakfast was off the menu, and absolutely delicious. We took advantage of walking the coffee trail every day we were there, a short stroll, but very relaxing.

This is a great property located about 20 minutes away from the airport. It has an amazing view of the capital. Although it is a small hotel, my family and I enjoyed it. It is quiet, safe and the staff is professional, polite and attentive. It is not crowded! The hotel offers free transportation from/to the airport. If you are checking out early, make sure to let the receptionist know, so you can enjoy a sack breafast to eat on your way to the airport. The only reason I'm not giving the excellent rating is due to the unstable internet in my room and no AC. However the tempature in the room was not that hot.

Very nice property overall, the room was a little humid and damp due ti all the rain. No A/C in the room to help control the dampness would recommend a portable dehumidifier. The sofa bed was really bad. Thankfully it was just our kids that slept on it but it had server spring issues (picture the movie money pit :))

The place is located in a small town, but under 30 minutes driving distance to the San Jose airport. The staff was nothing but friendly and attentive. The views from the hotel are spectacular, it felt like we were at a high-end luxurious resort. The villas are very spacious and all have beautiful views from their balconies. The hotel even has private trails you can walk. The breakfast included was a la carte, and delicious. Highly recommend this hotel!
