El desayuno tipo bufete. Qué delicia. Había de todo. Para todos los gustos.

A las camas se le cayeron unas tablas cuando mi bebe dormía y al darme media vuelta se cayeeln. El aire dura muchísimo en enfriar.

Descanso reconfortante
Pros:

Las almohadas son de lo mejor. El aseo, el trato en sí del personal. Las instalaciones son muy lindas.

Cons:

Lo único por mejorar es tener más opciones para acompañar el pinto. Habían tostadas y huevos fritos. El sabor del pinto estaba delicioso.

Pros:

It was an excellent choice for me to stop at night after a long trip to Costa Rica.
Easy to find.
Clean and with supper friendly staff.

Cons:

There in nothing negative I need to say keeping in mind I came to see another way of life and not compare European and Costa Rica rooms
