The hotel was fine. However, it does say that breakfast is included, but you’re gonna have to make your own breakfast. The staff most of them were very friendly and very nice. They do speak both English and Spanish. The area is very good and there’s a lot of shopping, places to eat, and the cathedral is also right there, and there are some great museums in the area

Poorly kept, mold was on our walls as there is no a/c and it’s very humid and wet area. Before arriving we called to see if they recommended anyone for taxi service they gave us a number call we waited 40 min at the airport for him he never showed we ended up finding one at the airport then upon arriving to the hotel checkin they said the taxi service we needed to pay 100$ cause he did show up we went back and forth for a while and i said i would call and sort it myself before they allowed us to check in to our room and we didn’t get there until 9 so by that time it was 10 and we were exhausted after a long day of traveling. Other than that the pool and drinks were nice.

Incómoda
La habitación no tiene aire acondicionado y eso no se indica en la reservación ni descripción.
El jabón de ducha es un dispensador de espuma de manos.
El desagüe de la tina no sella bien y deja escapar el agua.
El apagador de la luz desconecta toda la energía de la habitación. Lo cual hace confuso el manejo de luces
La silla de escritorio es extremadamente incómoda
El colchón en duro e incómodo y tenía bastantes insectos pequeñitos.
A las 6am hacen limpieza de piscina con hidrolavadora entonces no se puede dormir.

El motivo de la puntuación es que considero que el precio calidad no van de la mano, la atención no es buena y lamentablemente la comida tenía algo que nos dio mal de estómago. Casualmente un amigo estaba con su esposa y le comenté que algo nos afectó el estómago y me comentó que a él y otro amigo del grupo les pasó igual. Deben prestar mas atención a un tema tan delicado como lo es la comida. Los protocolos de Covid ya brillan por su ausencia o al menos no están al tanto. Por otro lado las almohadas, en las 3 camas que habían en la habitación no había una almohada cómoda, todas eran puras pelotas, terminamos con dolor de cuello.

No air conditioning in the room because I was penalized for using *******. The water in the shower was barely lukewarm and dribbled out. The parking lot at night was loud with motorcycles racing around. Unsympathetic staff who didn’t care when I said that I should not be penalized for Not getting a room with air-conditioning because I didn’t book through them personally.

Property may be a resort in terms of a 3rd world country, but by no means worth the money. Very very old. Built in the 70s most likely, and saying it's a hot springs resort is a stretch. Very disappointing.

Need I lot of maintenance, ac unit on the room very old and noisy, the bathroom very abandoned.
Food was not good at all.

I loved the large thermal water pool, and my husband loved the steam room, warm pool and cool pool. We also liked being in an environment with the majority of people being Costaricense, as we weren't interested in an exclusive tourist resort.
