Pros:

Magnifique havre de paix pour terminer ou débuter son séjour au Costa Rica. Petit déjeuner très bon. Personnel au top.

Cons:

Nous avions notre vol retour le lendemain en fin de journée et aurions souhaité profiter d'un late check out vers 14:00-15:00, contre paiement naturellement. La seule solution proposée était de payer une nuit supplémentaire, ce que nous avons finalement fait.

Un angolo di paradiso in città.
Pros:

Il posto era davvero "nascosto". E' stato il nostro primo alloggio in Costa Rica. Non ci aspettavamo nulla, poiche' doveva essere la prima notte dopo un lungo viaggio, per poi proseguire il giorno dopo e invece e' stata una meravigliosa sorpresa. Un posticino ben curato, in mezzo al verde, con piscina e stanze spaziose e graziose. Colazione inclusa. Ci siamo sentit coccolati e abbiamo iniziato la nostra vacanza felicissimi

Casi todo bien
Pros:

El sitio es una pasada

Cons:

Se escucha todo de la habitación de al lado, nos tocó una familia mexicana que no pararon de hacer ruidos y gritar con los niños hasta las dos de la mañana y se sentía como si estuviéramos en la misma habitación.

I felt like I was in a totally different world. It was so beautiful so green just gorgeous. There is nothing I can say t
Pros:

I loved everything about this property. It was very clean very private. Everything was gorgeous. I would definitely go back to this place 100%.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like about this place. The only thing was I wish they had a ice machine that was convenient for people that stay there.

Convenient, relaxing, comfortable with really kind staff
Pros:

Total oasis very close to airport — it was perfect for our one night stay in San Jose before heading back to the US. So serene and extremely convenient to get to / from the airport! Can’t recommend enough if you are looking for a good place to stay on the first or last night of a Costa Rica vacation :)

Perfecto para llegadas y salidas del aeropuerto
Pros:

La hacienda es un sitio con mucho encanto, cerca del aeropuerto, y con camas muy cómodas. Pero lo más destacable es su personal. Gracias Helen por el desayuno tan rico y su trato tan agradable.

Cons:

Nos pareció excesivo que pidieran 50$ por un “late check out” de 6 horas.

A good place to start your holiday after a long flight.
Pros:

Close to the airport, can be reached in 15 mins by car. Situated in a nice garden, has a pool and a covered breakfast area next to it. Simple but good quality breakfast. Car parking available within the property walls. We had two rooms separate from the main building and would choose them again, simple but fine for a overnight stay.

Cons:

The area does not look very nice, but the property is fenced in. The property is not easy to find and no visible signs outside.

Pros:

Das Hotel an sich ist sehr schön. Trotz der Nähe zum Flughafen relativ ruhig. Manchmal hört man etwas Straßenlärm. In der Nähe verschiedene Supermärkte. Unweit von Restaurants. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Schöner Garten. Pool hat eine gute Größe mit ein paar Schönheitsfehlern, was nicht stört.

Cons:

Kein Safe im Zimmer. Frühstück war ok. Hatten wir schon besser.
