The people are just not helpful. Management is but by the 3rd time you are talking to them about it -- it becomes a hassle. I got the wrong information about charges -- for phone calls, internet, the spa and check-out -- from the desk people. So, no matter how well I slept once I was in the room, having... More

This was our last stop after 7 day tour of costa rica. Lovely hotel, great beds, pillows and bathrooms. The breakfast buffet was great. There is an amazing modern mall across street. They do not have free wifi. There is a charge. This seems so ridiculous and really not good customer relations. Every other hotel we stayed in costa rica... More

The Real InterContinental was the start of our Caravan Tour of Costa Rica. It was clean and beautiful. Many beautiful birds on the well landscaped property. Too bad the tour kept us so busy we didn't have time to enjoy the pool, exercise room or other facilities. We did have 2 buffet breakfasts and dinners there that were top quality.... More

My wife and I stayed our first two nights in Costa Rico here. The facility had beautiful grounds, the room was clean and had a view of the mountains. The breakfast buffet was fantastic and the staff were very helpful. The mall across the street has upscale shops if you like to shop. On the way to the mall on... More

Nice facility, with amenities (several pools, Jacuzzi, spa, excercize room, bar, several restaurants) and a friendly, helpful staff. Located across a pedestrian- unfriendly street (use the elevated walkway) from a modern shopping center. Security-conscious without being too obvious about it. More

The InterContinental is about a 15 minute cab ride from downtown San Jose. It is situated on lovely grounds with a pretty pool. If you need to be downtown it is not that convenient. We found that 3 hours in the city was sufficient - since we were warned about safety issues. There is a beautiful upscale mall across the... More

As a regular visitor at inter Continental Hotels in Asia and an Ambassador Club Member I was simply astounded at the stark difference between the Club service and amenities provided at this hotel compared to its Asian counterparts. There is no excuse for such a difference from an international conglomerate such as the IinterContinental Group. The staff and general amenities... More

This hotel was amazing. The staff went overboard to make sure we were comfortable, and even put up with us slaughtering the Spanish language (they would just speak with us in English because we were struggling). Grand, pristine and eye candy everywhere you look. When we arrived we sat by the pool at Alfredo, the Italian restaurant. I had salmon-stuffed... More

Beautiful gardens with swimming pool, big rooms and great breakfast Location could be better but the layout of the city is different than others and the best and major hotels are all out of the downtown area More

We stayed at the Real Intercontinetal in Escazu on our first night in Costa Rica before heading to Arenal the next day. When we arrived the hotel staff were friendly and attentive to the fact that we only spoke poor Spanish at best. We had a room on the 5th floor facing the pool, which is beautiful. The hotel is...
