It’s a great oasis in San José. Lovely gardens. Very professional check in staff. Booked two superior double rooms. Given one on floor 4 one on floor 5. Both had great views of the city and mountains. Great a/c in rooms if required. We went for half board. Breakfast excellent. Full options, including chef making omelettes to order. Evening meal simpler buffet, less selections. Swimming pool great. Pianist in lobby.

great hotel with lovely swimming pool area in a safe and quite area of San Jose (only 15 min away from the airport). My daughter forgot her airpods but luckily the cleaning lady found them. Elisa from the reception arranged a courier to our next accommodation! Again many thanks for the swift action.

This hotel was perfectly placed in the shopping district of Escazu. The food court nearby was fantastic and walking distance to nearby malls. The staff were excellent. I left my phone in a shop just before closing and they went over and beyond to help me get it back to me after I had had to leave on the early morning flight. Gebim being the exceptional staff here but all the team involved and I am very grateful for their caring and professional service.
