My room was very noisy and I asked to be moved which was taken care of nicely. The hotel is a little dated and I didn’t enjoy my dinner in the restaurant. It was overpriced and not very good. Overall, the hotel was ok for the price. ##### DEBORAH Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Francisco Sep 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only 2 things is that the hotel is closed to the street som the people on the rooms 100 get the noise for the cars and buses And the breakfast es fine for the multiple food, but some like eggs or fried sweet plantain was very fatty But the other, is amazing ##### Jose Francisco Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good and quiet Hotel was nice and definitely offered good value for money. Breakfast was somewhat inconsistent from day to day, but good overall. Staff were very friendly and helpful, offering recommendations for drinks and transport. The location isn't ideal if you're on foot as the nearby roads are quite busy and don't always have traffic signals to allow for pedestrian crossing. That being said, Ubers were always around and inexpensive to get to the downtown centre. The hotel being slightly outside of downtown made it quiet, which was a plus. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jul 22, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort No rooms were available when I arrived.

Vi boede her i 3 nætter efter ankomst fra DK. Det var et fint hotel, men meget lydt. Der var mange unge amerikaner som dels optog meget plads på hotellet, den ene dag hele poolområdet. De larmede meget om aftenen og natten. Vi forstod at det var vanlig praksis med større amerikanske ungdomsgrupper og jeg vil derfor ikke anbefale det som et familiehotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Estefania May 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean, quiet and the restaurant has a very diverse menu. , quiet and the restaurant is very nice and has an very diverse menu. ##### Estefania Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Salvador Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice comfortable hotel w excellent service Very nice, clean and spacious room and excellent service from the Capitan of the restaurant. ##### Salvador Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry Mar 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Pool was very cold ##### Terry Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### CESAR Feb 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Pesimo Servicio Habitacion.

While the property was suitably clean, the rooms and amenities were pretty basic, poorly designed or broken — I had been staying a hostels in San Jose that were 1/4 of the price of this place which were in a better condition. Bathroom was a wetroom with the shower the same level as the floor, so the water sprayed everywhere. Plug sockets were falling out of the wall and room felt like a cell. The worst part was the staff. Rude at check-in, restaurant and management. I had made the mistake of booking this double room for one person on Expedia — it should have been for 2 but there was no difference in price on expedia, so I messaged the hotel in advance if they could amend. They tried to charge me extra when the second guest eventually arrived. I had a really frustrating conversation with the manager who was dressed in a hoodie and who couldn’t care less about the price on expedia or providing customer service. ##### will Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tommy Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent customer service ##### Tommy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Quite clean and functional.
