8/10 Very Good

I was disappointed that my information on the hotel did not specify that the shuttle service after 6 pm would cost $30! Also, to book the shuttle I was to call the hotel in Costa Rica. I had to call about 6 times to get anyone to pick up after the call was connected. Then someone finally took the information but said I would have to confirm on the next day, the day of travel, so I had to call again between planes. That part was extremely unsatisfactory.

The hotel is fine for an in and out from the airport. However, on the hotels.com site it says that they offer airport shuttle, and there is no mention of a fee, nor that the shuttle is only available at certain times. This should be rectified.

2/10 Poor

The bathroom lighting was extremely poor and I couldn’t shave and there was no exhaust in the bathroom and the mirrors get so clouded that I couldn’t see my own hand. Water from the faucet in the wash basin was so very weak that it took a long time to brush my teeth or even to wash my face. I complained about it to the front desk staff but was of no use. I stayed there for a whole week and I know now that it was a bad choice I made. This was my 3rd trip to Costa Rica and previous stays were in much smaller hotels but were ten times better in every sense of the word! The daily rates were much higher than comparable accommodations with much better service. Well I learned enough from this experience so that I may not make the same mistake again!
