Rented two villas for two nights for ourselves and family. Falsely advertised. Old and smelly. Shower dirty and door broken. Found bed bugs on blood stained sheets. Got moved to two new rooms only to find same issues. Asked to check out with a refund for second night. Management refused and was not interested in helping us out. Told us to deal with Expedia which thankfully they were helpful. Do not book there. The grounds were the only thing that seemed well taken care of.

Nice hotel, attentive staff. They take your luggage to your room in a buggy. The room was large, it had a little entrance lobby with a fridge and bathroom was OK. Also, it had a walk-in wardrobe. Swimming pool and grounds are a highlight. Very nice. However: - place is quite tired - cable to plug fridge in was too short - not enough sunbeds by pool and some were busted - breakfast was just awful - restaurant is not very good, better off going to a local place up the road - no hot water, water in sink cold, shower only luke warm - nothing around except the wildlife rescue centre Having said that, it was nice for 2 nights. Not sure I'd stay much longer.

El hecho de haber usado Expedia en vez de pagar la cuota que ellos cobran, me dieron una habitación sin agua caliente y la cama tronaba por cualquier movimiento que uno hacia. Era algo ecagerado. Al siguiente dia, solicite un cambio de habitación y me dijeron que todas las camas hacían ruido y que me daba lo mismo cambiar. Al segundo dia de estar alli, por las prisas dejamos la puerta abierta del carro, cuando fuimos a ver en la guantera nos hacian falta $600.00. Sé que fué descuido nuestro pero los empleados revisaron el carro, abrieron la guantera y robaron el dinero que estaba en una bolsa con zipper. No sé porqué dan tan buenas reseñas del lugar pero a mi me fue muy mal. El lugar es bonito pero el staff es pésimo

I plan on returning. The hotel is nestled in the heart of San Jose, it's a huge property. I chose it for the decor/culture of Costa Rica. I swam in a pristine Olympic sized pool, I saw several iguanas, and I don't know how many bird species and in the ceiling of my room, what I thought was a mouse, was actually a bird nest with new hatchlings, which was a bit disturbing when I was sleeping. I was offered another room, it wasn't as nice, so I declined. Understanding Costa Rica embraces nature and tries not to disturb the natural habitats so they didn't remove the bird family. I adapted, it wasn't too bad. I will say bring/use insect repellent. There are few screens on any windows (in Costa Rica), which is the norm. Each day there were many insects dead in my room, I used spray to avoid bites. They conserve energy so the main building is open, no a/c just fresh air and fans. The building is open, anything may fly or crawl through the lobby or your room if you have your patio door open. The staff was beautiful, professional and so kind. The deep tissue massage was deep. The food was delicious and not expensive. Not sure if free refills were free, one said no, the others gave them to me. Caesar salad, calamari and a entree with ginger ale was $33.67. If you want to be as close to being a local, I suggest the location. Feels like the ambulance just made me want to sit and enjoy each moment. Bring washclothes they only give towels and hand towels. Older charming resort.

If you are not white the workers are not pleasant towards you. False advertisement of gym, spa, and casino. They don’t have any of it. Hotel is really old even the sink makes weird noises and the toilet always leaks every time you flush. Also, workers go in your room to clean even when you do not put up a sign allowing them to. They will turn off your AC and leave windows open for mosquitoes to get in. Free breakfast, more like little finger foods
