Pros:

It is an older property. Everything is very clean. Buffet breakfast was excellent. One woman at front desk was pretty brusque, almost unfriendly.

Wish we stayed longer to better enjoy the property
Pros:

We were only here for one, rainy night but the property was excellent. We stayed here to be closer to the airport, for an afternoon flight and as such, this hotel is above and beyond. The room was perfect to get cleaned up from our adventures with modern amenities like strong water pressure and practically sound proofed windows. The included breakfast was also well stocked with a warm service staff. Checkin and checkout was seamless and we're sad we didn't get to enjoy the heated, clean pool. The Santa Ana neighborhood is VERY upscale compared to traveling across the jungles, beaches and volcano areas, but you can still find local spots away from the main roads. Just plan for traffic...it's approx 15mi from the airport, but Waze had estimates from 30min to 1hr 15min.

Pros:

This was my 8th visit to Villas Del Rio .
I love that it’s always a welcoming, clean and safe oasis with close walking distance to shops and restaurants in Escazu .
Mauricio and the entire staff and crew are always so kind and helpful and truly do their very best to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
The included breakfast buffet is consistently delicious and offers a wide assortment of options . The heated pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. They also offer a free Airport pick up and drop off. It’s always a pleasure to stay at Villas Del Rio. Will be returning again soon to my home away from home in Escazu .
Pura Vida !

They handled several complaints with great respect, concern, and care. Very accommodating. The breakfast is hearty. I have stayed here before several times and liked the bathtubs. I was disappointed they have removed most bathtubs.
