Very nice breakfast included. I just wish the restaurant could stay open a little longer than 9pm at night. Staff was very accommodating in allowing us to buy a glass of wine even after they closed. Front desk was very attentive to a few requests we had at check in. Also nice they provide free shuttle service to/from the airport.

Nice property 20 min away from SJO airport. Good for 1-2 night stop over. Great view from grounds. Restaurant served good food and wait staff were quick and attentive. Small pool. No a/c which was fine but when leaving windows open, you could hear nearby traffic. You felt like you were far away from the city with abundance of birds, flowers, trees, and privacy of property.

Area is not as close to the airport as it says in the webpage. Towels were supposed to be white and were dark gray. Also, we ate diner at night and the soup was not of my liking so I could not drink it and they still charge me for it

Sweet little hotel. Lovely staff. The carpet was a bit worn and the garden rooms are smaller than advertised, but the view was lovely and they organized very early transportation for us with no fuss- even provided breakfast to go. Would stay again in a balcony room.

Good option for a night if transferring to/from San Jose airport. A few restaurants nearby but roads aren't ideal for walking. Breakfast was good.
