Everything was great stayed in penthouse 2. Only suggestions fix the doors between the balconies. They woke me up a few times at night. Would also be nice to have more privacy between the balconies with some plants or something.

All inclusive package is excellent, food is great. Drinks and alcoholic beverages. All staff make you feel at home. I've been coming back within the last 18years and always happy to be back. Don't hesitate to say hi to the owner Matthew who's usually around!

Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. De kamer die ik de eerste nacht had beviel me niet i.v.m. verkeerslawaai. De volgende dag een andere kamer gekregen die wel goed beviel.

Hôtel idéalement situé dans San José. C'est un peu comme si vous étiez à la campagne sauf que vous êtes en plein centre-ville, c'est juste génial ! Le personnel est super gentil et cherche à ce que le client soit heureux. Franchement, tout le monde est sympa : le barman, la barmaid, les femmes de ménage, les gars de la réception, les gens à la cuisine, le manager. Si vous le pouvez financièrement, prenez les chambres les plus luxueuses et l'option pension complète "all included" où vous avez le droit aux trois repas et à autant de boissons que vous voulez. Vous êtes libre : la réception est ouverte toute la journée et toute la nuit ; les clients sont libres de venir avec qui ils veulent tant que tout le monde est en mesure de fournir des documents d'identité en règle. Il y a moyen d'y manger une nourriture saine et équilibrée. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel. En tout cas, j'y ai passé d'excellentes vacances.

Hotel was very nice. The all inclusive is well worth the money! They also have a sister hotel a few blocks away you can use your all inclusive at.

Good location. Nice and quiet hotel felt like I had the whole place to myself. It’s an old building that has some character, I will definitely stay here again. The only bad thing about this place is that there is no daily maid service to clean the rooms.

I didn't realize the hotel caters to men seeking paid female companions. My wife and I found it to be an unpleasant situation, though it is legal in Costa Rica. Everything else about the hotel was great.

Rooms are outdated. Wooden floors in bedrooms squeaking and broken. Bathrooms are small and outdated. large roaches in bedroom. Termites eat the wooden floors.

The hotel staff were incredible. The shower wouldn't drain properly. The toilet looked stained. Spider webbs in the corners of the walls. The walls were dirty. The bathroom smelled like sewer. The housekeeping staff really need to do their jobs. The room that I was in was very small. Other than some of the hotel staff this is not a good hotel. They don't take pride in cleanliness.

Fortunately, the torture only lasted one night: 1. There was no hot water in the room. According to the front desk, there was no hot water in other rooms as well. 2. The front door and window faced the bar area, approximately 15 feet away. If the drapes were open, the bar patrons would peer into your room. 3. Due to the unpopularity of the Hotel, there was only one patron in the bar on this weekend night. Most of the guests were heading to other hotel bars in the area. This was actually good since it was quiet. Bar closed at 1130 p.m. 4. The “All Inclusive Food and Drink” deal is unsatisfactory. Unless you have problems with mobility, there are much better restaurants and bars within walking distance. The lunch and dinner provided by this special is mediocre, you can get much better elsewhere. Unless you speak Spanish, you will have to have the waiter translate your order to the cook who only understands Spanish. The exceptional waiter is the only employee that speaks English. The menu is also in Spanish. The free breakfast is tasty but they provide a fixed quantity. Other hotels in the area also provide as good or better breakfast in a buffet fashion. 5. If you pay your hotel bill with a credit card, the hotel will charge you an extra 6%. This is not a foreign transaction fee, but a scam. No other hotel, restaurant, or store that I know of charges this type of fee. 6. Bottom Line: No Hot Water, Subpar Food and Drink special, Credit Card Scam
