Reviews:
‘The rooms are large with excellent facilities in the hotel. The view from the executive level is outstanding and you can see all the local little communities. Only a 10 minutes cab ride to central San Jose, the hotel is near Santa Ana and Escazu which have great restaurants and wine houses. If you want to stay in luxury or just laze by the pool the hotel is great for this.’

‘The staff were some the friendliest I had encountered in Costa Rica and check in was quick and efficient. The food at the hotel was delightful; every meal was personally prepared and very tasteful. A great hotel for families, couples or business people.’

‘The architecture within the lobby is spectacular and the whole reception area is clean and well maintained as you would expect of a 5 star hotel. The rooms are spacious and cosy and the butler service great if you just want to be lazy.’
