The restaurant was expensive, but the hotel location was only a mile from the center of the city. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was great. The facilities were clean and the fitness center was phenomenal!

10/10 Exceptional! (548 reviews)
Absolutely everything was perfection. The welcome, the extras, the room, the ammenities, the grounds, the spa, the food, and most of all the staff; for making our experience unforgettable. We were so spoiled and it was so beautiful, we never wanted to leave. Except maybe to try their sister resort, The Springs. We even met the owner, who happened to be in town, and he was delightful. Definitely coming back and letting everyone know this is the place to find peace and luxury in Costa Rica.
