Amazing view of San Jose, including sparkling lights at night. It is high above the city which drowns out the city noise, yet just a few minutes from the airport. The surrounding trees and flowers make it so pleasant!

Fantastic first night in Costa Rica
The hotel was easily accessible from the airport (just 25 minute drive) yet far enough away to feel one with nature.
The room was large with a great view and all the staff were very pleasant. We will be back again the night before flying home

Lovely view out over San Jose and more!
This is a perfect small hotel, which we overnighted at between flights returning to USA. The pool was warm enough to enjoy, there were lots of places to use outdoor chairs to enjoy the gardens and the birdwatching was excellent right there. Wonderful to have restaurant right here.
