Food is priced as in the US but tasted terrible. Staff was friendly but inefficient and made mistakes on orders and requests. Service was extremely slow.

From beginning to end the quality of service was exceptional! The staff was attentive, and eager to meet our every request. The room was spacious and clean. The property was emaculantly kept. The menu choices were broad and the food was delicious! The hot springs were amazing! Quiet and manicured. They have an area set aside for hotel guests. The location is perfect, a few minutes from la fortuna and most major attractions in the area. The roads all had fresh pavement so access to and from the hotel was not a problem. Signage on the road system is terrible so GPS is recommended.

Hot springs are the highlight. Restaurant is great for breakfast. Not so much for the dinner. They try to create visually appealing dishes and somewhat succeed, but fall short in flavor. Add to that the cost similar to eating out in New York City and it will make no sense. There are plenty of restaurants in the town. It's safe to drive at night. Lots of people out. Very lively.
