9/10 Wonderful! (714 reviews)
This place was so good. Our flight got in after hours and so they made sandwiches for us to have upon arrival. A security guard checked us in after hours and gave us our meal and served us at the dining patio. He was very friendly and helpful. The gardens are beautiful. It feels like an oasis in the middle of the city. Sometimes you could hear the airplanes but nothing too distracting. In the morning we had an amazing Costa Rican breakfast. They anticipated everything and the communication was awesome. They reached out to me in advance and took care of the meals, arranged for a driver to get us from the airport and made sure it all went easy and effortless. We stayed here for the night before departing to La Fortuna. The next day. We had a few hours to kill in the morning and Karin at the front desk recommended an animal sanctuary that we went to. We saw tons of animals and ended up having an amazing experience because of her. This day was great. I felt like I was in a movie scene from Encanto. I would definitely stay here again. Hands down better than any hotel chain.

8.6/10 Excellent! (998 reviews)
The hotel was clean and neat, the staff was very friendly and helpful, it is an old building but well maintained, the food at the bar was good but a bit pricey, the drinks were quite expensive also, free breakfast was included and was pretty good, there was free secured underground parking but not recommended for large vehicles. This hotel/casino is a adults only spot that is guest friendly, I would definitely book this hotel again.
