True gem
Pros:

Really an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. The restaurant in really the icing on the cake serving premium food at a very resnoble price point. Very practical as a first/last night due to the very close proximity to the airport.

Cons:

As the whole property really is like an oasis the pool area could be made a little bit more inviting eg. some parasolls for shade.

Muy buena elección cerca del aeropuerto
Pros:

El lugar es muy bonito, instalaciones limpias y cuidadas. No tienen recepción 24 h, pero no es un problema, si llegas demasiado tarde el personal de seguridad tiene tus datos y te facilita la entrada (de forma rápida y muy amable). Cerca del aeropuerto nos vino genial para la primera noche en Costa Rica.

Cons:

Por decir algo, almohadas duras

Un Hotel de paso
Pros:

Valoro la cercanía con aeropuerto y los jardines en sus instalaciones.

Cons:

No me gusto el tipo de cama, lo relacionado a la comodidad ya que el colchón fue demasiado duro. Además, desayuno y restaurant no cumplieron mis expectativas.

potete andare ad occhi chiusi, bel posto e rapporto ottimo, costo beneficio
Pros:

Posizione perfetta, molto vicino all'aeropuerto, per chi và a Negocio come me, è un Plus.
Ristorante molto molto buono, e vicino a 100mt a piedi..
Piscina piccola mah comoda e confortevole e non ho aimè sperimentato la colazione perchè non c'è stato modo, in quanto partivo presto per lavoro
Comunque lo consiglierei ad occhi chiusi

Cons:

nulla
