"First night in Costa Rica"

8.0

It was the 1st hotel we stayed at in CR due to a late flight in and a long journey the next day. Super stopover location. All amenities catered for. The only slight downside was breakfast was included in the price but this consisted 3 small slices of fruit, toast and marmalade along with cake and coffee/tea. On the whole very pleased with the experience.

"lovely hotel just outside San Jose"

8.0

We chose to stay here after landing from Gatwick in to San Jose. It's about a 20-30 min drive, depending on the traffic. It's up quite high and has fantastic views. The grounds are lovely. The hotel seemed quite old and rustic (reminded us of a chalet style hotel in the Alps). Our room was big with three very tall beds - and although the mattress felt soft, it was actually very comfortable. The bathroom was a decent size and had excellent products. We had drinks and dinner in the hotel and the food was very good indeed. The breakfast was also very good, with plenty of choice. The staff were lovely. We would definitely stay here again.

"A nice hotel."

10.0

A great hotel for a quick stop and refresh after flying into San Jose. Friendly staff and good service throughout. The restaurant was mid range but adequate. Gardens surrounding the hotel were lovely but being a coffee plantation was a stretch of the imagination, you could walk the pathed tour in 5 mins. On a super plus note the bed was the best hotel bed I’ve slept in.

Everything about this property and its staff was amazing. It was quiet. It felt very safe. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and safe when I return to Costa Rica I won’t be returning back into San Jose however, if you are, this is a great place to stay

"Excellent"

8.0

I loved the property, we stayed in the villa #1 which was big and beautiful. There were paths leading from the accommodations down the mountains with beautiful trees, flowers butterflies etc. The view from the villa was magnificent. The restaurant was convenient and had mostly friendly staff but i would have preferred a more Costa Rican cuisine and maybe sell a few snacks at the front desk. I really would have loved if they had a relationship with one of the local restaurants to do deliveries! That would've been awesome since the local food was delicious! The t.v shoes were only in Spanish which I understand but the remote has an English input that didn't work. Over all I would recommend the hotel. I went during the rainy season so we didn't have to deal with any crowds.

Rooms are comfortable. No elevator. Noisy since open floor plan and could hear staff talking in restaurant late into the evening and then housekeeping early in the morning. Staff was excellent. Not too convenient for airport but a cute hotel b
