    “Very Unique. Very different from what we typically go for, however it turned out to be exactly what we needed. Low key spot, not a lot of people traffic at all. Restaurant on site we ate at the most not because we didn’t want to venture out, but because it was that good.”

    “La arquitectura, y decoración de colección”

  • Ein Hotel fast wie ein Märchenschloss

    9/10

    Julia · family with children · 2026-08-24

    “Ein wunderschönes Hotel, das wie eine Mischung aus Märchenschloss und Filmkulisse wirkt. Ein sehr gelungenes Beispiel für fantasievolle und aufwendige Hotelarchitektur in Lateinamerika. Der Blick über San José ist fantastisch, die Terasse mit dem Pool sehr schön gestaltet und einladend. Die Zimmer sind geräumig mit schicken Badezimmern. Das Restaurant verfügt über eine sehr gute Küche und verarbeitet ausgezeichnete Zutaten. Sehr nettes Personal in allen Bereichen des Hotels.”

  • Bonito pero no vale la pena por el precio que se paga.
