Amazing hotel, right next to the airport, but still in a lovely walkable neighborhood. Rooms are semi outside, so it feels very natural and the pool is beautiful, breakfast is also wonderful. Great place to relax before or after a long flight. Second time there and will certainly be back next time I’m in Costa Rica!

We visited to celebrate our Honeymoon. This hotel was absolutely perfect. The wildlife, nature, and open design down the hallways were beautiful. The buffet breakfast is worth the extra expense for food to start off each day. We are gold status with Hilton so it was free for us. The service is amazing. Hotel staff are very attentive and seek to ensure you are satisfied with everything. The pool was very enjoyable with the pool bar. They also have a bar and restaurant immediately inside near the pool. This was truly a little oasis inside the city! We highly recommend!!
