Nice hotel spoilt by inconsiderate guests.
We stayed on a Saturday night and the hotel was very noisy with children running up and down the corridors until the early hours and parent speaking very loudly with no consideration for other guests. The breakfast was nice but very busy. The hotel location is fine if you are staying in the hotel as there is nothing around it. The staff, like everyone in Costa Rica were very nice and helpful.
