This was our second stay at this hotel. Just as before the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were able to check in early and had their amazing breakfast the next morning before catching our flight home. We were looking for something to do and one of the receptionist suggested the City Mall which was close by and fun to go to. Our room was very clean and comfortable. If we ever return to Costa Rica we will definitely stay here again.

Great hotel to stay at when first arriving in Costa Rica. They have a 24/7 airport shuttle which works great when arriving on a late flight. The rooms are comfortable and have blackout curtains to block that early morning sun! They also have a very nice breakfast offering with helpful staff. The hotel in walking distance to some of the car rentals. We used Economy and they were most helpful. Overall this is a great spot to start and end your trip to Costa Rica!
