Alta Las Palomas Hotel

I had no hot water.

Beautiful views

The restaurant was amazing!! Best food we had in the two months spent in Costa Rica. The staff (front desk and waiters) were super friendly and willing to help in any way they could. The view was beautiful and I especially liked our private terrace where we ate a delicious breakfast.

This hotel is lovely but not a good place to stay if you have a handicap. There are lots of steps and no hand rails in many areas. Navigating to the restaurant or pool from our room was dimly lit and a bit confusing. The rooms are small and the water in the shower was lukewarm warm and the floor quite slippery.

The room was big and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious Staying in there is very calm and peacefull.

Die Bedienung im Restaurant war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Der Empfang

Charm, character, nice restaurant and pool setting. Friendly and competent staff. Great balcony views.

A little distant from sites in the centre

It's a lovely property. The lobby, restaurant and pool areas are exceptionally beautiful, and there is a nice view down the valley. The rooms had robes and slippers and magnifying mirrors (all a bonus in my opinion), and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were huge and comfortable and there was a large patio off the room. The rooms were also very spacious. Having the wildlife refuge nearby was a plus and we enjoyed our visit there.

The downsides for us were the air conditioner that was extremely noisy and clunked on and off all night long, and the prices of the food in the restaurant. Breakfast in particular was very pricy for the very small amount of food we received. You also need to be prepared that it is a bit out of town and there isn't too much nearby, although we did find a local restaurant just a short walk away that had good food for good prices.
