Great hotel with nice facilities and delicious breakfast
Pros:

Good location on top of the hill. A bit far to walk to the beach as it is steep and difficult but you can easily take a quick uber. Nice pool. Great breakfast. Fun authentic costa rican decor (although some might find it a bit old fashioned). Weird of me i know but i have an irrational deep fear of tsunamis so was very happy being right at the top of the hill. Loved the breakfast!!

Cons:

Think we must have been there off season the vibes were a little weird. Hardly saw any other guests and the bar was never open etc (although when we asked staff for a drink they were always happy to sort something out for us). Parking situation was a little tricky but ok if you are a confident driver (and preferably have a reversing camera).

Pros:

Stanza molto grande. Bella piscina.

Cons:

Struttura un po’ vecchiotta è un po’ cupa. Manca un posto x stare dopo cena a giocare a carte.

Pros:

Clean, comfortable room. Food was delicious and staff in restaurant were very nice.

Cons:

Receptionist was not welcoming at all when we arrived. The walk to the room was difficult down a steep hill to climb back up stairs lugging heavy bags. They made transportation arrangements for me to go to airport and did not tell me I needed cash on hand to pay. Poor communication. Staff at front desk made me feel like I bothered them.

Mejoras necesarias para ser un hotel 4 estrellas
Pros:

La piscina privada que daba a nuestra habitación fue un punto a favor. El hotel tiene bastantes zonas verdes, lo que le da atractivo. Además, buena ubicación, ya que se sitúa justo enfrente a un centro comercial de restauración con varias opciones para comer, y a escasos minutos en coche del Parque Nacional de Manuel Antonio.

Cons:

Lo que no nos gustó fue que el mobiliario de la habitación estaba bastante anticuado, y la habitación olía mucho a humedad. Además, las instalaciones en general están descuidadas para ser un hotel 4 estrellas.

El desayuno tiene la variedad típica de los hoteles, aunque hubo un día en que bajamos un poco más tarde a desayunar, y no quedaba de la mitad de cosas.

Pros:

El entorno del hotel es precioso, hay un lindo jardín y dos piscinas. La habitación es bonita y cómoda. Cuenta con un buen restaurante, donde las personas son muy amables, y la comida muy rica.

Cons:

El atendimiento en recepción es muy frío y hay poca empatia con los clientes, son muy estrictos.
Hay muchísimas escaleras por toda parte, y el ascensor vive fuera de servicio - se nota por lo antiguo del aviso y los comentarios sobre el hotel. Menos mal que ayudan con las maletas.

foi muito decepcionante/
Pros:

o hotel foi compreensível e nos reembolsou uma noite. Saímos antes do planejado.

Cons:

o quarto tinha muita umidade. As janelas não abriam, então no quarto não entrava luz e não ventilava. No banheiro também não tinha janela. Muito diferente das fotos aqui do booking, onde aparece um quarto lindo com duas portas de varanda abertas. Eu sou muito alérgica, então sobrevivi tomando anti-alérgico. A comida do café da manhã não é boa. Ovos ressecados, suco artificial, café queimado. E os estofados do restaurante estão todos manchados, umidos e com aparência suja. O hotel possui muitas escadas, o estacionamento fica num buraco. Não tem acessibilidade e essa informação não está clara no anúncio.

Hotel maravilloso con parking malo
Pros:

Me gustó que estaba limpísimo, la piscina estaba bien y el personal de recepción, mantenimiento y restaurante eran muy amables

Cons:

No me gustó el parking, deberían hacer algo porque un salón de comidas no es lugar para aparcar coches. Si uno aparca mal, no puedes salir.

Heel fijn om te verblijven met veel faciliteiten
Pros:

Mooie, ruime kamer die schoon is. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel! Die ook zonder moeite de huurauto parkeerde toen ik deze niet gedraaid kreeg. Goede service. Mooie tuin en mooi zwembad. Erg goed ontbijt!! Ik zou het iedereen aanbevelen!

Cons:

De parkeergarage 😉, het was best stijl naar beneden en krap om te draaien. Maar dat ligt meer aan mijn vaardigheden met een net ontvangen huurauto. Zonder problemen parkeren ze de auto voor je.

Descent, but could have been better
Pros:

Breakfast buffet was rich and delicious

Cons:

Old fashioned style, facilities may need a renovation, road to hotel’s parking lot (must have been a past assembly hall) is narrowed and it gets quite stressful to move in and out, towels policy is irrationally strict
