Schönes Hotel, etwas laut in der junior suite
Pros:

Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit und waren stets erreichbar. Auch der Kontakt per WhatsApp erleichtert gerade einen Tourist den Kontakt.

Cons:

Ich finde es schade, dass die besten Zimmer des Hotels (Suites) Richtung Straße zeigen da diese sehr laut ist.

Beautiful hotel too far from the town centre and too noisy
Pros:

The modern hotel and bedrooms are of a very high standard. The included breakfast was excellent and the restaurant food was excellent too. It was very convenient I

Cons:

Unfortunately the early morning traffic noise was terrible. The rooms facing the road should have double glazing windows

Pros:

Gute Lage am Ortsrand von San José. Der Bereich rund um den Pool war sehr schön gestaltet, man kann sich hier gut aufhalten. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, es gibt typisches Gallo Pinto, frisches Obst, Eierspeisen und sogar verschiedene Kuchen. Sehr lecker!

Cons:

Mein Mann wurde gesagt, er darf nichts mehr vom Buffet nehmen, da er zu oft war. Er hat mir und unserer Tochter das Frühstück mit zum Tisch gebracht, nachgefragt hat das keiner bevor sie ihn unfreundlich die Essensausgabe verweigert hatten. Am letzten Tag war eine private Veranstaltung und die Außenbereiche zum Frühstück wurden gesperrt, sehr ärgerlich wenn man das Hotel gerade wegen dem Außenbereich bucht. Im Zimmer hat ein Kühlschrank gefehlt und Kaffeepads für die Maschine auf dem Zimmer wollte man uns nicht mehr nachfüllen - wir waren 3 Nächte da und hatten ein Familienzimmer.
