Beautiful hotel in San José. Close enough that you are just an uber away from the center of the city and where you can be picked up by tour guides. So clean and the staff was fantastic. Ready to help in an instant. We were only able to use the pool once but so peaceful and clean. Room service was fantastic and the bar area has great food and drinks. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the buffet but that was a matter of choice. Beds super comfortable, clean sheets/towels everyday and just an amazing experience! Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and would definitely come back again!
