We love the hotel and find their service exceptional. A great place for beginning or ending a trip to Costa Rica. We were a little frustrated trying to drive from the airport to the hotel, using the printed instructions on the hotel web site:
" The best way to get to the hotel is from the SJO Airport. Once you are on the avenue right in front of the terminal, look for the Gas Station "Servicentro El Coco" if this one is located on your right hand side, please keep going and take the next exit (it will be on your right hand side too, by ADS offices) continue and pass next to the factories Cinta Azul and Bimbo, then make a left on the following cross, keep straight and after two miles you will find the hotel on your right side."
I would add the following clarifications:
1. The avenue in front of the airport is an east-west road with a hairpin U turn at the west end. The east end of the avenue accesses the freeway--toward San Jose. The road that one uses to pick up and drop off passengers leaves and enters the eastbound side of this avenue.
2. The El Coco gas station is the only gas station on this avenue, but the sign is poorly marked. It is convenient for gassing up rental cars just prior to return. The gas station sits at a T intersection where a major north-south access road ends by joining the airport avenue. This north-south access road is not the road to the hotel.
3. Proceeding west from the gas station on the airport avenue (towards the hairpin U turn) one block past the gas station turn right onto the road toward the hotel. From this point the road bends first left, then left again, then right, then passes the Cinta Azul and Bimbo factories, and at 2.0 Km reaches a T intersection.
4. At the T intersection turn left and go 3.7 Km to find the hotel on the right (total 5.7 Km from airport avenue).
