    We arrived in SJO in the evening and stayed in this hotel in order to avoid the morning traffic congestion which can be bad for our onward drive to Puerto Viejo the following morning. Big hotel which is showing its age. Buffet breakfast was very good. Hotel grounds are well staffed and safe

    Had the weirdest dining experience ever. We were told that the restaurant shut at 9.45pm and went for dinner at 8.30pm. We asked for a few extra minutes when ordering as it took us a while to decide. We were then left alone for some time. We ordered 2 starters and 2 mains, which were delicious. I was looking forward to the blue cheese creme brulee when at 9.44pm the waiter came and handed us the bill. We were never offered dessert. There was such a delay in a taking our order it seems we missed the window for ordering dessert. In every part of the world I have been to, you still get offered dessert once you order a main course. If they had not taken so much time to take our order and then there was a long gap between starter and mains, then we might have gotten to order before 9.45. But we clearly felt that we were not welcome any longer, and left, unsatisfied. The starters and mains were delicious, but clearly a poor customer service policy at play here

    Breakfast was abundant but not particularly tasty. It’s close to the centre but far from Volcan Poás or other places you may want to visit during your stay. You can’t go anywhere without a taxi as it’s not in a nice area.

    Architecturally impressive building, nice pool, big and clean rooms.

    Restaurant was poor in my estimation. Very little choice in food with high prices, and you didn’t get much for your money. So apart from breakfast we would head out to various other restaurants which we found more better and cheaper.

    Property was excellent, spacious and all staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good and had plenty of choices. Swimming pool areas were very novel and popular.

    The architecture is a bit concrete which was everywhere and not too attractive. The metal doors on the cupboards in the room were noisy and prone to sticking. Probably needs a bit of updating.

    The hotel and staff were great its a short walk from the city centre. The food was good and the outside space was good. The pool was good.

    Breakfast is poor at best (dry bread, limited cereal, melon or papaya for fruit). Some facilities didn’t work (sauna) but all in all, it’s ok for a night before heading out or home.

    Ok, it’s a bit outdated. But what you get for your money, big rooms, big beds, swimming pool etc. can’t really complain.
