the hotel was very nice with great staff. had all the facilities you need with a nice breakfast in the mornings. just a short distance in taxi to the town. not the best to walk because of all the traffic about but still only around 15/20min walk to shops and restaurants. the hotel was clean.

Peaceful setting on the hill outside the city. Lovely restaurant and views. Enjoyed the animal sanctuary just a few minutes walk away. Great for a few days before our tour started.

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⭐️

I liked almost everything about this hotel. If you're looking for a full-service, bigger and comfortable place to stay, this is the spot. We stayed here for our last night in San Jose and it was really comfortable after running around Costa Rica. What you expect from a bigger, chain style hotel. I regret not booking here for our first two nights in San Jose at the beginning of our trip. It was a bit more expensive than the Radisson Park that we booked (don't book there), but in retrospect it would have been wise to pay the extra and stay at the Crown Plaza. Plus the Avis office that we rented our car from is there. BTW, our car rental with Avis went fine and was cheaper than Adobe, assuming they release the multiple holds they still have on my card.

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.
