Best breakfast i eat in my whole ''travel life'' was in this hotel. You can chose from 214124 different foods. Your gonna be amazed. I was thinking how can this hotel allow people to eat this much. You also have premium room so you can eat some casual food and drink some juice and coke. Not highest quality but hey its free so that's a big plus. You can eat some cakes and those kind of things. Room is okay. Parking is Free. GYM IS AMAZING for hotel gym. You will have bench-press and heavier weights. Not like in most hotels you have weights for grandmas. So if your in San Jose THIS hotel is a must! It's not that expensive for premium room and you will have no problems.

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.

Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
