This was probably a great hotel 10 years ago but there is a very apparent lack of care everywhere you go. Rooms are ok but a lot of things fell in disrepear (light fixtures, switches, showers, hairdryer not working, partially broken windows). The staff is ok overall but the main desk doesn’t seem to care. When asked about tourist information « they don’t know ». The restaurant isn’t terrible but too expensive for what it is. Food is pretty bland and the dining room is sad and dreadful. I’d recommend dining in town for a far better experience. We saw a couple of cockroaches in the dining area. Location is a little too remote from where the action is in the region. La Fortuna is probably much better in that regard.
