Pros (+) It was a good hotel for our stay in Costa Rica, but because of the location you can't walk to anything, you need a cab to go anywhere.
Cons (-) The food at the restaurant, especially dinner, was expensive and not that impressive.

Jesse, Oct 2016
Pros (+) Staff are highly friendly and bilingual. Some of them at least. It's right off the freeway and a good price for what you get.
Cons (-) Gym was hardly there at all. Fitness is important to me.I can improvise thanks to my training but I might as well have done bodyweight workouts. They didn't have someone at the front gate to let me in so I stood there for a while before crawling under the gate to open it myself.
