8/10 Very good

Nice Place to stay
It's a nice place to stay. There is a beautiful garden inside the property. We used their free airport pickup. We didn't wait that long for the shuttle to arrive. Staffs are friendly. The restaurant food is good. They could provide a better WiFi. You have to enter different passwords they provide for each device and the passwords expire for some reason. We stayed there for two nights and few times we had to request new passwords. I think it's unnecessarily complicated.

2/10 Poor

Absolute disaster
ABSOLUTE DISASTER! We asked for complimentary shuttle to hotel. I emailed my request and followed up with three phone calls (the day of email, the day before we arrived and morning of arrival). I explained i was arriving at 3:30 pm from Sansa airlines. My plane arrived exactly on time at 3:30 pm. I tried to call the WhatsApp number that hotel gave me for shuttle, just to let them know i was on way to pick up point. I called multiple times with no answer. We arrived at pick up point at 3;40pm. The shuttle was not there. I made an international call to hotel and after a few minutes was told that the shuttle driver left after 5 minutes! I explained how many times i confirmed and they said they couldn’t do anything and we had to wait another hour and half for them to pick us up. When we arrived at hotel, they said they would offer us a complimentary meal and drinks at the cafeteria. We went to cafeteria and had a meal where I was told i had to pay. I explained that i was supposed to get a comp meal. They said they knew nothing about this. I went back to front desk, being trailed by cafe manager and waitress and was told that my meal was for the cafeteria on the 6th floor! After all this embarrassment at from desk, i left the hotel shortly afterwards. A complete disaster and absolutely terrible customer service

Last day in Costa Rica
One day layover to catch flight home. Relaxed by the pool. Ate lunch at the poolside bar & grille before checking in. Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Great view from room. Ride to airport was arranged with bellboy and free. Staff was friendly & professional. I would definitely stay again.
