This hotel was perfectly placed in the shopping district of Escazu. The food court nearby was fantastic and walking distance to nearby malls. The staff were excellent. I left my phone in a shop just before closing and they went over and beyond to help me get it back to me after I had had to leave on the early morning flight. Gebim being the exceptional staff here but all the team involved and I am very grateful for their caring and professional service.

Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
