Having stayed here on two occasions, 6 years apart, was a great experience. There was nothing I went without. Cleanliness was at the top with helpful staff and excellent meals.
The gardens are beautiful and amazing. The room is large, comfortable & clean with balcony overlooking the garden. On second & third stay a view of San Jose not as nice and a little noisy. Room has safe, small table with chairs, desk, overhead fan, TV with English channels. Toiletries in bath. Staff are very friendly and speak passable English. Breakfast included is substantial. Restaurant is very good but a little inconsistent. No other restaurants nearby. Tap water is very good to drink. Gym is better than your average US hotel gym. Pool area is quite beautiful. Common areas are also very nice. Highly recommend!
Clean, well run, friendly helpful staff - 10 acres botanical gardens, this is the place to stay. The restaurant is very good food. The room is spacious and well maintained. Pool and exercise rooms are excellent. Can't find a fault here, it is the place to stay. Highly recommend this to all.

Don't stay anywhere else if you're stopping in San Jose for any reason. Amazing hotel set in stunning grounds. A bit like staying in a botanical gardens. We spent ages wandering around the gardens. So beautiful and good for birdwatching. The rooms are large, bright and spotlessly clean. The staff, including cleaning staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is tasty. Would give it six stars if It was possible.
This place is amazing! The hotel is great - all the amenities you would expect. The service is top rate. The beds are the most comfortable I experienced in the entire country - not exaggerating. Food was great in the restaurant. The front gate makes it very secure.
The botanical garden is crazy awesome. Over 600 species of plants. As they call it, it's a botanical garden with a hotel. The experience is relaxing, enticing and invigorating. Great place to come to find a nice, peaceful experience.
Truly the best of Costa Rica.
This is a wonderful yet affordable hotel with fascinating features. These include panoramic gardens created with care over many years to display Costa Rica's amazing botanical heritage. The facilities are all first class. Truly one of the most interesting and pleasurable hotels in the country.
Great hotel. Excellent garden, great rooms, great pool/gym, very friendly helpful staff (fluent in English) and a restaurant that is great value for money. Only negatives would be the construction noise coming from next door takes away from the beauty of the garden and the rooms don't have ac. Overall I would definitely stay again or recommend.
Can't go wrong with this restaurant. Excellent.
Lovely gardens--10 acres?--with paths that wind between trees and benches and sculptures, through arches, by gazebos. All sorts of beautiful plants, and birds galore. Bring your camera and binoculars.
Garden-front rooms are more expensive but worth it--sit on your balcony and watch the day arrive or the moonshine play its magic in the trees.
We were busy and did not try the pool or workout room, but we can recommend the breakfast buffet highly. Firm, nice mattress, clean room with a ceiling fan as well as AC, charging ports, large bath.
The front desk crew was helpful, the business center handy, and book swap corner a surprise and delight.
Quite an extensive collection of geodes and rocks artfully displayed is another highlight, as is the large map of CR on the front porch.
Nice and beautiful garden peaceful moment in the afternoon. Worth to visit recommended
Overall it was a nice hotel. The rooms were nice and the food was good. The service was also good.
I usually go for the breakfast buffet Wich is good. After that you can take a long walk in the big garden in the back with colorful flowers.
A great price/experience value! An expansive and well-maintained garden, along with a very good restaurant are added pluses.
A wonderful clean hotel with a huge tropical garden, a pool and tennis courts, and a nice restaurant. It has nice views of either the garden or overlooking San Jose from the rooms.
Crossover Church's youth mission team stayed here and it was great. The staff was very kind and patient and the grounds are muy guapa.The breakfast is wonderful and the croissants are to die for. I plan on returning in the future 10000/10 :) You will not regret staying here.
FANTASTIC HOTEL. The hotel is in a great location with views of the surrounding mountains. The garden is breath taking. Great rooms, great service. My number one pick for lodging in San Jose.
Great hotel, large, beautiful interior with lots of pre-Columbian pottery and large pieces of gems and minerals. Beautiful well maintained tropical garden with walking paths, full of exotic trees, plants, flowers, birds. Friendly staff and great breakfast buffet. Dutch owner. Many business guests.
