The views across the valley from this hillside location are beautiful, and the gardens of the hotel are beautifully designed and well tended. Guest rooms, though they lack any Costa Rican style, are as predictable as those in any international hotel. Rooms are carpeted and have small triangular balconies oriented to the views. Though there is no air-conditioning, there are fans and temperatures are rarely too hot there. The hotel's dining room features continental dishes, with flambe d Delmonico steak being one of the specialties.
Prices here are quite reasonable.
There is also a quiet bar just off the lobby and room service. A complimentary downtown shuttle bus will take you in and out of town. The hotel's swimming pool is in its own private, walled garden and is quite attractive. There are also tennis courts and a jogging trail.
