Everything this hotel had to offer was amazing which made for a great stay. Restaurant, Spa, Casino & Bars all on site were all a great experience and made for a great vacation. The downtown location made for a perfect central base for getting out and exploring all of Costa Rica with an agency right across the street for booking tour guided excursions. The entire hotel staff was very nice and helpful in every way. Their drivers for their provided shuttle service got me from airport to hotel on my arrival and from hotel back to airport on my departure. 5 stars all around.

The room is always clean. The Hotel has an excellent service staff. On my last trip, there was a problem with the water heater and sometimes showers were cold. I’m sure this was resolved soon after I left. This is the hotel. I’ve stayed at many times and will continue to stay there.
