Bien pour une nuit et repartir le lendemain. Pratiquement rien à faire et à voir dans les environs.
Pros:

Bon petit déjeuner, peut-être pas beaucoup de choix mais tout ce qu'il faut.

Cons:

La situation au bord d'une route et les avions tout les 30 secondes.

Efficiente luchthaven service, propere kamers. Prima ontbijt. Service tijdens avondeten ondermaats
Pros:

Goede locatie ondanks de nabijheid van de luchthaven. Kamers waren prima verzorgd en het hotel zelf is proper. Super efficiente transfer van/naar de luchthaven.

Cons:

Bediening tijdens het avondeten was NIET vriendelijk (anders hadden we een 9 score gegeven). We hebben op 8 locaties verbleven tijdens onze reis door Costa Rica, en de dame van Robledal die het avondeten verzorgde was één van de minst vriendelijke. De bediening tijdens het ontbijt daarentegen was wel OK.

Nice first stay!
Pros:

Close to the airport, room was clean and staff was very friendly!

Cons:

We arranged a pickup at the airport beforehand, but apparantly something went wrong and no shuttle was arranged. We called and they immediately arranged a new pickup, so in the end everything worked out fine.

A comfortable stay and good value for the money.
Pros:

The restaurant at the hotel was excellent. And the grounds are loving to walk around and hang out in. The service from the front desk, airport shuttle and restaurant was friendly and efficient.

Cons:

We don’t have any complaints. It was the perfect stopover upon arrival and departure. We would definitely stay there again.

I will stay there on my next visit to the area.
Pros:

It was quaint and charming, not your usual hotel conglomerate. It was lovely to hear the owls and birds that populate the grounds. The breakfast buffet was yummy, with lots of options. The restaurant was very good too. The staff were very accommodating, providing fast, friendly service. I would definitely recommend, and will stay there again.

Beautiful hotel on the edge of the city
Pros:

We were staying the night in San Jose before driving to Manuel Antonio for the week. This was in a great location at the edge of town. The neighborhood was a bit sketchy but the property was enclosed with a gate and felt very safe. The grounds were beautiful. The room was newly renovated.

Cons:

The bed was a bit firm for my liking.

Désagréable
Cons:

Personnel pas très sympathique, pas serviable, la serveuse soupire lors de notre prise de commande
De mauvaise foi dit que nos carte bancaire ne passent pas ( 2 cartes ), alors que c’est son TPE qui ne fonctionne pas et du coup en essaie un autre et là ça fonctionne et ne s’excuse même pas …
Nous ne reviendront pas dans cet établissement…

Beautiful Garden Retreat Convenient to the Airport
Pros:

First, the hotel has beautiful grounds and gardens, which are not only a good place to relax, but offer excellent birding (in fact, there is a feeding station outside of the patio restaurant). The breakfast, which was included, was delicious and ample, with lots of fresh fruit and wonderful coffee. The hotel has a convenient shuttle to the airport and if you need to leave before breakfast, they provide you a sack lunch. And even though the hotel is close to the airport, we found it very quiet.
