10/10 Excellent
"What a cool hotel! We arrived and were met with a bellhop who took our luggage and we were able to check in early. We stayed in the deluxe room and it was lovely! There was a beautiful little garden with a fountain, comfortable beds, a spacious shower, and the room was clean! Sometimes in Costa Rica you find hotels that have some insects but not this place! Beautiful architecture! What a historical building it almost makes you want to cry! We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotels restaurant and each meal was lovely. We felt like royalty in the old Victorian style house. We loved the hot tubs on the roof and also did some yoga in the exercise area. All areas were clean and beautifully decorated with tropical plants. We were only here 2 nights but enjoyed every minute of it! We will definitely be back!"

8/10 Good
"Our room was perfect and clean. We did request extra bedding which arrived quickly for the pullout couch. Water was complimentary and helpful. The pool was cold so we weren't able to enjoy it, even though it was warm outside, it was too cold to swim in. The dining staff were fantastic (especially Cesar). Super accommodating and kind. Breakfast was good, lots of options, but the eggs had lemon flavor which was odd. I asked about the sour taste and the chef said they add lemon juice so we ordered from the omelette bar. Lots of affordable options for dinner. LOVED my charcuterie platter. Felt so fancy at a reasonable cost and well made. Parking was easy and felt safe, also complimentary. We wished we booked a closer hotel for the airport(was about 45 minutes away with traffic) but now we know better for next time."
