The pool was well maintained and they provide towels. It's right outside of the bar so you can enjoy your drink poolside. The hotel also has a walking trail that you can explore. The staff were excellent!

We enjoyed the grounds and restaurant very much! Good food and lots of birds in the morning. Dinner was one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica! Staff was great and handed us umbrellas when we drove in during a downpour. Close to airport as well.

What a beautiful little gem in the middle of the city. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the beds were incredible. The pool was also gorgeous. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and the service was spectacular. The food was good but not the best I've had. Shampoo, etc. in the shower would have been a plus but that is the only drawback for me! Great place and a great price.

From the front gate guard to the front desk and restaurant staff- everyone was super kind and helpful! The Villa property is absolutely gorgeous. The trail through the forest was beautiful and you’re able to see all kinds of birds. The restaurant had great food. Would 10/10 recommend staying here!

Staff were very friendly. The room was clean and quiet. Just what was needed for our last night after exploring several regions of Costa Rica - hotel chosen as being close to the airport - just a cheap uber away.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is perfectly fine for a night if you get in late or have an early flight the next day. The room was a decent size. There was only soap and no shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom. The restaurant was nice and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the area is quite sketchy, and I think we would have been better off either staying right by the airport, or going into San Jose. We were kept up all night by barking dogs and were startled around 3am by what sounded like gun shots.
