The friendliness of the people here is so very pleasant, everything is clean, spacious, gardens immaculate,
The Hotel was just as it was pictured. The staff and our stay were fantastic. The staff treated us like royalty. The road in front of the hotel was under construction so that was not great, but the staff at the hotel made up for any inconvenience. We will definitely stay again.
Overall this was a nice place to stay to be close to the airport. There were a few things that could’ve been improved such as some tiny ants in the restroom & the pillows were rather hard. It was a pretty property though and the breakfast was delicious. Staff was very friendly & helpful.
Our time at Bistol was very short, only 7 hours, but we were happy with the stay. Due to a flight delay, we didnt arive until after midnight, but i was able to contact them to mame arrangements, and we were me when our taxi pulled up. The room was very large, the shower was good, the beds comfortable. We had a tico breakfast made to order, and it was very good, and the staff very helpful.
I would come again if ever I need a hotel close to the SJO airport.

It was spectacular. Shared in a quinceñera party for a young girl turning 15 complete with a band with horns and a mascerade party
Nice & quite stay. Need to fix or change bathroom accessories.

The hotel is close to all the attractions. The swimming pool was amazing and the breakfast was a nice touch. It’s a little loud at night since it’s right off of the pan American highway. Otherwise very convenient and clean.
We only spent one night here and arrived very late, yet the owner was patiently waiting for us. They make you a fresh breakfast. It's very affordable and very close to the airport. They don’t offer transportation, but that didn’t affect us since we rented a car. 100% recommended."

Valerie was great. Swim refreshing after a long travel day. Traffic noide only downer.
Staff was excellent. Rooms comfortable. Very clean. Kids had fun in pool. Was only place that would let me book one room for 4 adults and 2 kids. Turned out to be a two room villa with 4 twins beds and one queen. I would definitely come back.
Nous avons choisi cet hôtel pour sa proximité avec l’aéroport après un long vol. Tout était parfait. L’accueil a été excellent. La chambre est grande et propre. Le petit d éjeuner local nous a mis dans l’ambiance. Ils nous ont recommandé un restaurant dans les alentours où nous avons pu goûté le jus de crapaud (ici c’est une plante 😄).
Hotel propre et personnel gentil, nous y avons passé la nuit avant le vol de retour, on nous a offert de commander un repas sur place si nous voulions sinon restos à proximité. Les draps sentent très bon et frais. La piscine était propre et très agréable et avons pu manger notre repas commandé autour de la piscine.
