What a lovely hotel! The staff was very kind and helpful.
The decor is fun and the pool in the courtyard is delightful. There is a very open, light filled feeling to this hotel. They have lots of fun additions, like a take one, leave one book shelf on the landing of the stairwell on the way to our room.
A few blocks away is what the receptionist told us is the largest park in Costa Rica - we wandered through on our way to lunch before check-in (leaving our bags so we didn't have to haul those around!) and it was a sports themed park with a track, several walking/jogging loops, various sports fields and courts. In addition, there are lots of trees and some bathrooms (pay to use) and a playground structure for kids.
Part of the reason we picked this hotel for our last night was it's proximity to the airport - still in the city, but on the northwest, making for easy travel for our early flight. They arranged a 'shuttle' which turned out to just be a taxi. Our driver was on time and we were plenty early for our flight (they recommended leaving 3 hours before our flight, but at 4am, that turned out to be too early, we were at the airport 16 min after we left the hotel and had lots of time to kill)
