Beautiful and tranquil hotel
Pros:

Beautiful room. Stunning hotel. Amazing views. Really tasty food in the restaurant. Super comfy bed! We stayed for one night when we arrived before setting off on a long drive and it was a perfect location for this.

Cons:

If we were staying here for any other reason than a stop over before onward journey, I would say location is very far away from the main part of the city. Wasn't an issue for us because we were travelling the next day. But we won't be booking for our return because we want to experience San Jose and it's too far out.

Excellent Small Hotel. Excellent Staff. Amazing food and culture. Purchase their local in house coffee.
Pros:

Very Unique. Very different from what we typically go for, however it turned out to be exactly what we needed. Low key spot, not a lot of people traffic at all. Restaurant on site we ate at the most not because we didn’t want to venture out, but because it was that good.

Bonito pero no vale la pena por el precio que se paga.
Pros:

El hotel está muy bonito y el personal muy amable

Cons:

Para empezar el hotel está lejos de todo, no hay lugares ricos cerca para ir a comer. Las almohadas del hotel terrible, súper duras no se puede dormir bien. Estuvimos dos noches ahí para descansar de nuestro viaje antes de ir a conocer Costa Rica pero dormimos muy mal por las almohadas.

Ein Hotel fast wie ein Märchenschloss
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes Hotel, das wie eine Mischung aus Märchenschloss und Filmkulisse wirkt. Ein sehr gelungenes Beispiel für fantasievolle und aufwendige Hotelarchitektur in Lateinamerika. Der Blick über San José ist fantastisch, die Terasse mit dem Pool sehr schön gestaltet und einladend. Die Zimmer sind geräumig mit schicken Badezimmern. Das Restaurant verfügt über eine sehr gute Küche und verarbeitet ausgezeichnete Zutaten. Sehr nettes Personal in allen Bereichen des Hotels.

Cons:

nichts

Goed hotel maar in verhouding erg duur.
Pros:

Mooi, net hotel. Ruime kamer. Fijn bed met dekbed, goede airco, mooi balkon. Goede kwaliteit eten.

Cons:

Geen minibar/koelkast. Ontbijt was inbegrepen maar voor ons maar net toereikend. Voor sap bijv betaal je al meerprijs. De porties voor diner waren klein en alsnog heel duur.

Sfeervol hotel met uitzicht over de stad, goede kamers en restaurant.
Pros:

Sfeervol hotel met aantrekkelijk restaurant en zwembad.

Cons:

Sanitair iets gedateerd maar wel ruim en schoon. Geen extra’s in de badkamer, hotelreceptie was weinig attent.

Decepcionante
Pros:

El desayuno estuvo bien

Cons:

El colchon estaba un poco duro. La pantalla no tenia acceso a netflix solo dos canales. El aire acondicionado sonaba cada 10 minutos y fue difícil dormir con ese sonido. El agua caliente no funcionó. El servicio fue malo, era nuestra noche de boda civil y no hicieron nada especial ni nos brindaron atención especializada.
