I arrived after an 8 hour flight and they wouldn’t let me check in early. I even offered to pay extra but I was big no. Fire alarm went off at 5;00 AM and it was a false alarm. Staff was just laughing saying the same thing happened last week.

Absolutely perfer for efficient airport transition. We had a 6am flight and needed to overnight and have the assurance of safe commute to the airport. We were also able to experience Costa Rica shopping scene which added the final touches to our trip. Lovely hotel and warm service.

The breakfast buffet was unreasonably priced. $22? I mean, really, I can spend $22 on a restaurant. I looked and there was nothing special about it so I said no. Most hotels include the breakfast, not this one. If they had charged $15 I might have considered it.
