Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
The staff at this property was very kind. This hotel was the first meal we had in Costa Rica and every meal after going around we’d find ourselves comparing it to the rice and beans from the breakfast option. Yummy options for breakfast. Nice pool area. Liked it so much we stayed twice. I will say ...
