Nice hotel, pricey like many Costa Rica Hotels
Pros:

This is a pricey hotel, but to be fair many hotels in Costa Rica are quite expensive. The breakfast is good, the staff are friendly and helpful and it is a great place to spend the night before an early morning flight or check in after a long flight to avoid driving at night.. The rooms are decent.

Cons:

The price

Ideaal voor een nachtje na of voor een vlucht.
Pros:

Een comfortabel hotel dicht bij het vliegveld. Perfect als je laat aankomt in San José. Ontbijt start ook al vroeg, wat heel fijn is als je vroeg moet vertrekken.
