    The location was great! The hotel was very easy to get to by car. Everything was super clean: our bedroom, the bathrooms, the foyers, restaurant. The selection at breakfast was basic but everything was very delicious.

    Reasonably priced, functional hotel well-positioned between airport and city centre. New bathrooms. Happy to provide early breakfast-to-go. Worked well for Tortuguero transport pickup. Really nice reception staff.
