When we checked in and Bosco at the front desk found out... More

We checked in for one night after leaving hospital. We needed wheelchair accessible, that was our only request. The room was an average c-standard motel room, with a leaking coffee-maker (evidenced by all the stains on the carpet). The bathroom door was wide and there were a couple of grab bars but the bump from the main room through the... More

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The front desk staff was very attentive. The rooms were comfortable, well-decorated, and quiet. The restaurant staff made sure you were taken care of, even during the buffet-style breakfast. Very often in Costa Rica there is a lack of customer service, and this hotel is one of the welcome exceptions. It's location... More
