Nicely located. A little bit run out as a facility. Dated rooms don’t bother me. Leaking shower heads and loose towel racks and soap shelves are annoying. Ditto the worn out rollers on the sliding closet doors. Also, the foam Matt on the sofa bed was cheesey and gross. The lack of linens to make up the bed was annoying, especially after paying an extra $60 per night for the third person. Front fest stafff, on all shifts, is great. Breakfast is good. The pool area is decent but some things like lamps at the walls are in disrepair.

The staff was very professional and friendly. The Radisson was very clean and well maintained. The food was great I just wish that they could have perhaps a limited menu for room service that might be available up until 12 midnight. However... overall the facility... the staff and the experience was wonderful!!!!!!!!!

It's a great place to stay while traveling to other parts of the country. We stayed here and took a tour of Nicoya Island, and we were close to the bus station for our ride to Puerto Viejo. The surrounding areas aren't the safest at night but are fine during the day. It was a short walk to the Central Market and some museums. Plus, there are two pools, two bars, and a fine dining restaurant, so we didn't feel bored hanging at the hotel at night before we moved on. But, if you are wondering where you are walking to will be safe, ask the front desk! They are kind, honest, and incredibly helpful. Also, no matter the weather, wear closed-toed shoes if you are walking the streets outside!

The facility was wonderfult "inside". It was clean, service was great, customer representative could smile a bit more, breakfast was fenomenal. On the other hand, the picture in the ad doesnt represent the actual hotel. The outside of the hotel is outdate and needs some aggressive pressure washing. Pool was very cold, but the hot tub was great.

The check in was friendly, and welcoming. However outside my room there was dirty/leftover stuff from room service. The shower tap in my room fell off, and appears to have been stuck down with tape before. The biggest issue was the noise. You can hear your neighbours domestic argument at 11pm, as well as the loud American shouting at his kid in the hallway. And every single flip-flop noise. This hotel is dated and could do with some touch ups, including better and sound proofing the doors to the rooms.
