It’s a unique place and an immersive experience that we’ll never forget. The staff are all exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife and they are so warm and kind. We loved our time there and we would recommend it to anyone with an interest in birds, hiking or just spending time in nature. The hikes in the grounds were fantastic, we didn’t even need to leave the grounds.

It’s a great oasis in San José. Lovely gardens. Very professional check in staff. Booked two superior double rooms. Given one on floor 4 one on floor 5. Both had great views of the city and mountains. Great a/c in rooms if required. We went for half board. Breakfast excellent. Full options, including chef making omelettes to order. Evening meal simpler buffet, less selections. Swimming pool great. Pianist in lobby.

great hotel with lovely swimming pool area in a safe and quite area of San Jose (only 15 min away from the airport). My daughter forgot her airpods but luckily the cleaning lady found them. Elisa from the reception arranged a courier to our next accommodation! Again many thanks for the swift action.

We had lunch in the dining room. My salmon salad was superb & then dinner, celebrating our grandson birthday. The food, our waiter made it memorable.The breakfast was lovely around a beautiful surrounding. The young man who attended to us was exeptional. I believe is name is Kernest but i am always bad @ remembering names. The view from our room, dining room. The entire surrounding was breath taking. The staff was above & beyound.

This hotel was perfectly placed in the shopping district of Escazu. The food court nearby was fantastic and walking distance to nearby malls. The staff were excellent. I left my phone in a shop just before closing and they went over and beyond to help me get it back to me after I had had to leave on the early morning flight. Gebim being the exceptional staff here but all the team involved and I am very grateful for their caring and professional service.

The hotel looks very luxurious and the staff was very friendly. We only stayed here for one night to catch our flight the next morning; the location is great for this as it is close to the airport. We did not used many of the facilities but they did look great and clean. We enjoyed the game tables, this was a nice surprise. The check-in and check-out was quick and effortless. Room and bathroom were clean and quite big.

The property is gorgeous and sequestered, like a private luxury. There are several restaurants on the premises and an emphasis on the history of the hacienda. Breakfast was delicious and they had so many options to choose from. Dinner was great as well, but Sandra, our waitress, really added the warmth and charm that made us feel at home. Sandra was absolutely wonderful!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, very attentive to customer's needs. The Japanese restaurant was superb, but there is a fairly decent supermarket across the road and some very nice restaurants around the corner on Avenda De Las Americas. I would be happy to choose this hotel again.

Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
