We stayed at this hotel in May and KNEW we needed to go back. We had the opportunity to be back in Costa Rica this past week, and stayed here overnight so that we would be close to the airport in the morning. The staff is exceptionally professional, and kind. We always book dinner at the hotel, and it is wonderful. We feel like royalty or celebrities while we are there, and the rooms are really lovely. They stocked our fridge with tummy treats, fresh cold water, and even a bottle of wine, all complimentary! The price to stay is really reasonable for how grand the hotel feels, and treats you. Our entire family love staying here, and my kids loved the hot tub especially. 10/10, no notes.
