We loved everything about the property! Location is great, close to the beach and good cafes but still remote to don’t hear the street noise. The decor of the accommodation and its surroundings were impeccable with plenty of privacy. And the host Spyros was so welcoming and helpful, definetely worth 5⭐️

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.

    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.
