Modern, up-to-date apartmanets, great lay out, lots of light anf life, convieniently located, great dining places in the same block, one small market in the same mall area and bigger grocery store near by, fantastic service by every single staffer, Rebeca is a sweetheart, and Kellyana is on top of things. I go to CR every year once year and always go to a different place, but from now own, Apartamentos Cityzen will be my Tico-Home.

From the moment we arrived, this hotel felt like paradise. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and so well maintained, the views were breathtaking, and every meal we had was delicious. The staff made the entire experience even better with their kindness and hospitality. Waking up each morning to such an amazing view was something we’ll never forget. We truly loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to come back!
