Convenient SJO stay
This was a one night stay close to the airport. The hotel was just okay for that purpose. It was supposedly a newer hotel but it seemed older and not modernized. It was conveniently located and connected to another hotel via a cat walk so you could eat and shop without leaving the property if you didn’t have transportation. There was a $7.00 pp charge to use their shuttle to go to the hotel but it was easy to reserve. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They do only offer one free breakfast per room and it cost I believe $14 for each other person so be aware of that. They are connected to some restaurants, a casino and then a Dennys is just on the other side. All walkable. It’s off season so a lot of food options weren’t available and they only had 1 washer and 2 dryers for the entire property. There’s a golds gym sharing a parking lot and Holiday Inn is on the other side. Overall for a one night stay it was fine.

Mi estanciafue excepcional. La habitación era lujosa, con comodidades modernas y vistas impresionantes. El personal fue increíblemente amable y atento, haciéndome sentir bienvenido desde el momento en que llegué. La piscina en la azotea y la excepcional gastronomía añadieron a la experiencia. ¡Lo recomiendo altamente para una escapada perfecta! ¡Cinco estrellas!
