Absolutely perfect! The facilities are first class, clean and well maintained, but it is the helpful and friendly staff who make it so special. The front desk staff were perfect, and the chef at the free breakfast, Minor, showed us around all the wonderful new fruits, and Tifara helped us arrange a late check out to coincide with our shuttle. We will be coming back! BTW the outdoor gardens are beautiful and worth a walk, tidy landscaping

The Holiday Inn Express is incredibly convenient to the airport and many of the car rental agencies. Our flights to Costa Rica tend to land late (and leave early) and the Holiday Inn Express gives us a good opportunity to get a good night sleep before we collect our car and head out on our adventure.
