Excellent hotel near the airport for one night stop over

This hotel was ideal for a one-night stopover between landing at San Jose airport and our transfer down to Manuel Antonio. Good points – 30 minutes from San Jose airport up in the hills above San Jose. Great view over the Central Valley and lovely grounds to walk around. Large room with two queen sized beds plus large balcony. Good shower with lovely toiletries provided. TV and coffee machine (not used). Friendly staff and reasonable breakfast menu. Note: the coffee & tea at breakfast is self-service but nobody told us. Water provided. Small swimming pool. Not so good points – No storage, safe, hairdryer or fridge provided. Only ceiling fan, no A/C so hot in the room. Reasonable Wi-Fi but check connection. Limited choice in the restaurant and no light meals which we had been looking for as having travelled for 18 hours we were tired and just wanted to grab something light before heading to bed. The next morning, we discovered a small supermarket and pizza restaurant about 5 minutes’ walk down the road.

Fantastic hotel with phenomenal views

Fantastic hotel with a perfect location just outside the crowds. Ideal as a starting point and/or end point of a tour of Costa Rica.
Nice spacious rooms and a top breakfast.
The hotel has a beautiful garden with phenomenal views over the city of San José.

Great for a stay coming or going from the airport

Great location with a beautiful view of the Central Valley. The lawn with chairs overlooks the view. A variety of birds including toucans and parrots could be seen in the trees around the lawn. Has a very small pool. We stayed in the main lodge which was comfortable even though there is no air conditioning. There were several villas on the property that had families staying in them. The meals were al a carte with breakfast included. The meals were good and prices reasonable. This hotel is best for 1 or 2 night stays going to or coming from the airport. No attractions or town are within walking distance. The staff members were excellent.

Disappointing hotel for holiday makers

We found that the description of the hotel on the website did not match reality. Whilst the rooms are clean, the decor is dated and in places needs replacement. The rooms do not have air conditioning, nor do they have room safes. The hotel does not provide complimentary water in the room.
Staff was efficient but not friendly and we did not experience helpfulness. Breakfast was edible, but not freshly cooked.
The views are stunning.
It is a place to stay for one nights before transferring the airport, but do not expect any holiday feel.

Good first stop on a Costa Rica holiday

Good location for a couple of nights stay near the airport. SLightly tired in terms of decoration but beautiful view. Not really anywhere else to eat near the hotel, so trapped by high restaurant prices. Service was good though and breakfast well served.
