Please understand that this is a slightly older property, however it has been very well maintained over the years. It is physically connected to an IHG Holiday Inn, and between the 2 properties there are ample dining options. The studio room we had was excellent! And had everything we needed for our stay - fridge, microwave, utensils , etc. plus, the room was bigger with a small dining area, desk, reclining chair and even a walk-in closet! When we visit Costa Rica again this hotel is on our list to stay at again!
