4/5 - Good

Good meal at nearby restaurant, though it was not the Denny's near the casino. Owner Flor is excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. We would stay there again if and when we return to Costa Rica.

Very efficient check in and check out. Shuttle was great. Nice facilities but locating a nice place to eat without a car was difficult. Also found the prices in snack shop to be very high.

A nice place for an overnight if you’re flying out early. Friendly helpful staff. The best shuttle service I’ve experienced. It’s available 24 hrs a day with pickup every 20 minutes. There are a few restaurant options that are walkable.

Rio Segundo is alright. Nothing wrong with the area at all. Good place to look into Costa Rican history. I'm just not much of a city person myself.

The area is not very nice, but the hotel security is very good and there was no need to get out

Jim&Ruth
We spent two nights in Rio Segundo, when we first arrived in Costa Rica, and again, as we were leaving. Because of its proximity to the SJO Airport, Rio Segundo is a great jumping off spot for visiting the rest of the country.

Close to airport. Nearby casino was really odd. Only let you bet max bet. Only way to fix it was get small denominations, then go ahead and max bet. After that you can repeat bet,
