Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again.

The hotel was more beautiful in person than in the photos!!! Check in was super easy and the room was spacious and clean. The food in the restaurant was great and the food truck area right outside the hotel was a plus. Travelled for my birthday and the friendly front desk staff even surprised me with a mini cake and a signed birthday card to the room☺️
