Pros:

Herrliche Hacienda! Wir durften auf Anfrage schon vormittags einchecken bzw. im wunderschönen Garten/Pool verbringen. Auch bei der Abreise durften wir draußen noch lange den Pool und die Dusche benutzen. Die Hacienda selber ist wunderschön, ruhig, gepflegt. Mit Uber/Taxi ist ein Einkaufscenter und Airport innert Kürze erreichbar.

Jest to fajna opcja na nocleg przed wylotem. Ładny basen, śniadanie w cenie. Cisza i spokój. Dużo lepiej niż w centrum A
Pros:

Blisko do lotniska. Szybko można dotrzeć i się przespać. Ładny teren i nie czujesz się jak w środku miasta

Cons:

Nie działa relacja wiatrak - światło w pokoju 2. Albo używasz i wiatraka i światła albo musisz wyłączyć oba. W nocy było bardzo zimno więc wiatrak powodował jeszcze większe zimno. Warto to naprawić. Byliśmy tam 2 razy w przeciągu 2 tyg i ten sam problem.

Pros:

Ein toller Ort, um ein paar Stunden abzuschalten. Super schöner Garten mit Vöglen, Iguanas und riesiger Pool! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und durften morgens noch sehr lange am Pool bleiben, bis unser Flug ging.
Sehr gutes Frühstück.

Pros:

A lovely Costa Rican option to the more sterile feel, could-be-anywhere standard hotel. The down side is the 10-minute cab ride from the airport. We felt it was well worth it. Don't bother unless you have the time to enjoy the setting and the amenities.

Beutiful property was a great place to wake up for our first day in Costa Rica after a late flight.
Pros:

It's an oasis hidden in plain site. Super beautiful.

Cons:

It was a little hard to find, when I say hidden the sign is very small and the Google Maps don't direct you to the door so at first I thought we were in the wrong spot.0

Pros:

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Beautiful grounds, immaculate pool, although too cold for me. Room clean and comfortable. Some rooms have no air conditioner and I would imagine it would get quite warm in the summer, but in January it was perfect. Breakfast by the pool was a nice addition.

Cons:

Other guests were loud at times but not really anything the hotel could do about it

Unerwartet aussergewöhnlich
Pros:

Sehr schöne Anlage - ein richtiges Paradies nur 10 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und wir durften am Check-out day beim Pool bleiben bis wir gegen Abend an den Flughafen mussten.

Stukje rust en groen dichtbij de luchthaven
Pros:

Dicht bij airport

Cons:

Het vinden van het hotel ‘s nachts zonder Waze is een katastrophe. Zéro bewijzering…

Beautiful cultural stay.
Pros:

The property was beautiful and very enjoyable.

Cons:

Our room did not have air conditioning. This was not an issue as we would have been fine using windows. Unfortunately, the doors and windows that were available to provide airflow did not have screens and, when opened, allowed mosquitoes and small lizards to enter. Not ideal.
