This modern hotel near Costa Rica’s capital of San Jose features a casino, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour fitness center. Guests enjoy several on-site restaurants and bars and an outdoor swimming pool.

The room was well appointed, the bed and pillows were SO comfy. I've stayed here many, many times and keep coming back for the excellent room, quality sleep comfort and the incredibly delicious breakfast buffet. And I do enjoy the attached casino too!

    Lovely little boutique hotel. A great stop off for a night following a long flight. Not too far from the airport. The restaurant is lovely, very tasty cocktails and the gardens and pool area very tranquil. A little oasis away from the hustle and bustle outside the gates.

    The design of the common rooms in the house by the pool was very stylish and comfortable with attention to detail, with loads of armchairs, sofas, books to borrough - both downstairs and upstairs. Lovely art throughout. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and served to order. Allergies taken into account. Staff was extremely helpful and lovely at reception, restaurant and housekeeping. Good view from sizeable room. Most comfortable bed of whole Costa Rica journey.
