Fantastic service, very clean, charming place with personality which makes you feel like you are in Costa Rica. A few hundred meters to a small center with a small supermarket and a handful of restaurants; we had Mexican which was nice. Solid breakfast included with fresh fruit, special made omelets, etc Our kid had birthday and the staff was so nice they had made a cake 🎂 which was a compliment from the house.

Amazing place, love the art there. The staff is very professional and helpful. Impressed by the air conditioning in the gym which is an issue in most of the hotels. It's a quiet place despite the location on the main street. I must say that it was the only hotel in Costa Rica,where the price you pay corresponds to the service you get.
