GROSSE DÉCEPTION
Pros:

Le jardin
La proximité de l'aéroport .
Dîner du restaurant très bon et copieux

Cons:

Personnel à l'accueil loin d'être souriant. Pas un sourire. Accueil très froid.
Aucune isolation entre les chambres : on entend le lit de la chambre d'à côté grincer et les personnes du dessus marcher.
Hotel très vieillot et vétuste.
La terrasse extérieure commune avec espace billard est pleine de toile d'araignée.
Hôtel bruyant car le long d'une route passante.
Attention pour la navette : elle est toute les heures donc pas de choix de départ.
Chambre d'une tristesse absolument : on se croirait à l'hôpital.
Lit dure

C'est correct pour une nuit à l'arrivée ou au départ, mais pas "fou fou".
Pros:

Très bon accueil, personnel très agréable.

Cons:

Hôtel très bruyant à cause de la circulation. La piscine est agréable, mais nécessite quelque travaux. Odeurs très désagréables dans la salle de bain.

Bruyant, personnel peu aimable, cuisine de mauvaise qualité
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

L'insonorisation inexistante des chambres, on entend tout (dont les avions) comme si les portes et fenêtres étaient ouvertes. L'absence d'amabilité du personnel, la cuisine (repas et petit dejeune)., Après avoir eu l'occasion de goûter à plusieurs petits-déjeuners typiques du Costa Rica, celui-ci n'était pas bon. De plus, j'ai fait une erreur dans ma réservation (2 chambres au lieu d'une, 10 lits au lieu de 5 lits), l'hôtel ne m'a jamais alertée sur mon erreur malgré le fait que la réservation telle qu'elle était faite n'avait aucun sens (10 lits pour 5 personnes!). L'hôtel ne m'a alertée qu'une fois que j'ai eu payé les chambres !!

Okay, für den Preis
Pros:

War gut.

Cons:

Generell ist es ein etwas älteres Hotel, dass an ein paar Stellen (innen und außen ein wenig Update bräuchte.

Bonne étape avant départ
Pros:

L'emplacement de verdure et piscine en pleine ville, un peu coupé du monde. Chambres spacieuses.
On le choisit pour sa proximité avec l'aéroport

Cons:

Petit déjeuner moyen.
Si vous êtes sensible au bruit (avions) prenez des bouchons d'oreilles

Safe and friendly but a bit noisy, 5* airport shuttle
Pros:

Just a short taxi ride from the airport, this hotel offers a safe overnight stay if you arrive at SJO after
dark or need to depart early next morning. The walls and ceilings are thin and we were unlucky to
have a family with noisy children upstairs. The location in very near proximity of the runway disturbs
your sleep with every odd plane landing at night (about one per hour). Staff is very friendly and
helpful and the breakfast is good. The lady operating the ‘airport shuttle’ deserves 5 stars for her
driving skills, conversation and alertness.

Cons:

Noisy at night (airplanes)

Nice hotel, but much too noisy
Pros:

We liked the little outdoor seating area where you could play pool or read books. The restaurant had good food.

Cons:

It was IMPOSSIBLE to sleep because of all of the airplanes flying directly above the hotel. The constant noise kept us awake all night.
