"The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The bed and linens extremely comfortable. We come to Costa Rica twice a year and frequently stay at the Hampton before driving on to our destination or catching the plane. The delicious breakfast with a variety of freshly prepared foods being included is a real bonus!"

"Everything was awesome. The only thing we didn’t like much was the food which was very standard. Also, when you buy the buffet, they include two alcoholic beverages, which brings the price up unnecessarily."

10/10 Excellent
"The facilities are well maintained and meet the advertised features. As one improvement, it would be good to have a small table and chair inside the rooms, as it is sometimes necessary to get some work done. Although there is a table outside, the heat during the day sometimes makes that difficult. As another improvement, I suggest reviewing the cleanliness of the pillows — some of them have an unpleasant smell."
