Reviews and Ratings
I simply loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were impeccably clean and offered a spectacular view of San Jose from the balcony. The service was on point, making sure every detail of my stay was perfect. The location was ideal, perched on a hilltop with stunning views over the city while still being conveniently close to the airport. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with small dishes and not-so-fresh fruits. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The room was cozy with organic toiletries and a very comfortable double bed, and the balcony offered a nice view. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to double-check every reservation. The location on a hilltop overlooking the city was stunning, and the dining experience, although only offering small dishes, included delicious tropical fruits. The value for money was reasonable given the amenities provided.
