Unexpectedly beautiful stay in the center of the city - airport adjacent with easy transport
Pros:

This was a beautiful location, pictures don’t even do it justice. We stayed here our last night before flying out and wish we had more time to relax on the beautiful property and by the pool. The breakfast was a full service meal in the very nice restaurant with a quaint patio. Would highly recommend this hotel especially at the amazing price

Cons:

As other reviews mention it’s off a main road which you can hear occasionally but did not keep us up at night.

Nice hotel but out of the way
Pros:

The rooms were comfy and modern. We had a long day of travelling so we were grateful there was an onsite restaurant. We had dinner and breakfast there. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were very kind. My family enjjoyed the onsite hiking trails.

Cons:

My family got sick from the dinner we ate at the restaurant. There were no other reasonable options nearby for a meal.

Generalnie polecam.
Pros:

Sam obiekt położony w pięknym ogrodzie, pokoje wyposażone standardowo, ale brak jest w nim czajnika i telewizora. Hotel jest położony przy ulicy odgrodzony wysokim murem jednakże w naszym pokoju nr 3 było słychać przejeżdżające samochody. Śniadania w formie menu - dania do wyboru bardzo fajna forma. Ceny w restauracja atrakcyjne (jak na Kostarykę). Basen w porządku. Pokoje bardzo czyste. Wszystko w należytym porządku. Obsługa perfekcyjna.

Cons:

Hałas od ulicy. Pokoje które mają okna od ulicy będą głośne
