The service at this hotel is absolutely remarkable!! The staff are extremely attentive, its beyond clean and always had a fresh scent everywhere we went and it was in a reasonable area. The hotel is absolutely beautiful!! The view in the middle is breathtaking. The breakfast buffet was extraordinary with plenty of delicious options provided everyday. Kevin was absolutely phenomenal my whole stay!! So interactive, so friendly and went out of his way to celebrate my birthday. He truly made me feel like a valued guest. Justin was also extremely helpful and generous. I would absolutely recommend this location to family and friends and i anticipate on coming back. They contributed to my first trip to Costa Rica and made it meaningful. Keep up the outstanding work too and thank you for your service ti the security guards that stand in the lobby and parking lots you dont go unnoticed! Amazing team and group effort. Pura Vida !!

I would give this 4.5 stars. Staff was great and very helpful, rooms were clean and housekeeping frequent, no noise from outside and breakfast was diverse and yummy. My only complaint was the downstairs restaurant dinner experience was less than ideal. I did g eat at the bar upstairs but heard the food was better by my teammate.
