"The beach view was amazing. The view from the pool was amazing. They said my reservation wasn't booked with my vip status, so no vip perks. Breakfast says buffet, and the picture shows buffet, but it's à la carte, so not a buffet for the price; you can get a better breakfast elsewhere."

"Hung up in unbelievable traffic in Santa Cruz, I was not able to check into the hotel until 7 AM the next day when they reopened. So I don't have the overnight experience one expects. That said, the room was very clean, the shower had good hot water, and I did get a morning nap on the bed. Fort7nately, it is off the road a bit. But noise carries and young Costa Ricans love their motorcycles. So if you are super noise sensitive that might bother you, but the traffic is really light on that...
