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 had free internet in rooms or at least in lobby. The staff was polite, but seemed overwhelmed at times. When our luggage was delivered to our room, they mistakenly gave us someone else's bag too! The phone service s messed up, when you dial instant service, there is no answer. We only stayed one night and were in hotel less than 24 hours. But during that tie there computers went down at front desk. You can pay the exit tax at hotel, but they charge you $4.00 extra. Really! Talk ably nickel and dining you.

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. I even freshly squeezed my own orange juice. We got a pleasant surprise the second night with a beautiful fireworks display visible from our room.

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 the overhead crosswalk we was our first parrots.

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.
