Gut für eine Nacht
Pros:

Wir waren nur die allererste Nacht nach Ankunft des Fluges in diesem Hotel..
Großes und bequemes Bett, geräumiges Zimmer. Mit großem Fenster zum Balkon (wo jeder, der vorbei geht, reinschauen kann).
Sehr gute Auswahl zum Frühstück.
Sehr nettes Personal.
Wurden auch noch spät in der Nacht empfangen.
Wunderschöner Garten rund um den Frühstücksplatz/Restaurant.

Cons:

Leider gab es keinerlei Wasser auf dem Zimmer und das Restaurant hatte schon geschlossen als wir kamen.
Keine bequeme Sitzgelegenheit, auch nicht auf dem Balkon.
Außenlicht kann nicht ausgeschaltet werden, das hat sehr gestört.
Die Dusche war kalt.

Darling hotel near San Jose for a great price
Pros:

The hotel is decorated very authentically, which I appreciated. The room was darling the bed comfortable all of the materials of the cushions. The drapery were nice. We had to walk upstairs with our luggage, but that was fine. The property is beautiful and we walked around and went on a mini hike behind the hotel. Breakfast was great, and the service was excellent. Only stayed one night but it was a great first impression!

Great quirky hotel for nature-lovers, conveniently close to the airport based in Alajuela
Pros:

Comfortable stay in a room set in the grounds of a lovely old villa, with beautiful gardens, lots of wildlife, a nice little swimming pool, and a great breakfast included with the room rate. We chose this hotel for its proximity to the airport, for our last night's stay in Costa Rica, after touring for 3 weeks around the country. It was a good choice, as we had a very restful final night and morning, before returning our rental car and our long-haul flight home.

Cons:

There was no hair-dryer in the room, and I was too tired to request one. Not a deal-breaker, but it would have been nice to have had one readily available.

Ruhe und Schönheit in der Natur
Pros:

Es war ein wirklich sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt – besonders im Vergleich zur lauten und von uns als sehr stressigen empfundenen Innenstadt, die einen deutlichen Kontrast bildete. Wer Ruhe, Komfort und Natur sucht, ist hier genau richtig.

Das Personal war durchweg freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Villa selbst ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und gehörte einst einem Botaniker, was den wunderschönen, vielfältigen Garten erklärt. Der Poolbereich war perfekt. Das Essen war hervorragend, Frühstück perfekt. Wer Individualität sucht und das Schöne mag, ist hier genau richtig. Wir kommen wieder!

Cons:

Nur ein Fernseher im Zimmer wäre vielleicht eine schöne Ergänzung gewesen. auch wenn ein paar zusätzliche Liegen nicht schaden würden.
