Fijne plek om te landen na een lange reis
Pros:

We hebben een fijne start gehad van onze reis in dit hotel. Van de omgeving hebben we niet veel gezien maar in onze enorme suite konden we als gezin fijn "landen " en we genoten van het ontbijt en de zwembaden. We zagen veel personeel wat alles netjes hield dus het was allemaal goed verzorgd!

Cons:

De omgeving, straten eromheen zijn druk en niet per se een aanrader voor een wandeling. Echter wilden we ook vooral rustig bijkomen en dat kan prima in dit hotel.

Excelente opción para alojarse en San José
Pros:

La ubicación cerca de un centro comercial muy lindo y de muchísimas opciones para almorzar y cenar , la atención del personal, la comodidad de los apartamentos, el parking gratuito.

Cons:

Todo fue genial y volvería sin dudas. Solo un mínimo comentario, no me pareció simpático que los crepes en el desayuno fueran pagos. Igual lo que está incluido está muy bien

No volvería
Cons:

En la recepción me rechazaron algunos billetes en dólares porque, según ellos, estaban deteriorados. Al día siguiente los utilicé en otro establecimiento sin ponerme ninguna pega.
