Taormina Hotel and Casino

8/10 Good

"The staff here is super helpful and friendly. This is not a place for kids, but as an adult, this is a fun place"

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"El personal es muy colaborador y amable. Estuve contento de hallar en mi cuarto una mesita que me sirvió de escritorio, lo que no había en mi habitación en febrero. Aprecio el aislamiento fónico que limita la entrada de los ruidos exteriores, y las batas muy abrigadas. Cama confortable. Excelente atención 1) en el restaurante, en particular de Fabiola, Viviana, Luis y Carlos, siempre con una sonrisa. 2) en la recepción, con Randy, Kenia y Jonathan. La música queda fuerte y no relajante, pero tengo que resignarme, porque en prácticamente todos los lugares (hoteles, restaurantes y almacenes, hay esa música agitada, salvo en los restaurantes de alta gama. Regresaré con gusto en enero de 2027, para quedarme con gusto varios días con mi esposa."

Urban Green Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Pleasantly surprised to find this quality of a hotel property, at this price, so close to Biblica Hospital. Our suite was clean, with a loft, king bed and full bathroom in loft. The lower level had an induction flatop, full sink, microwave and mini fridge. Secure underground parking was also complimentary. The hotel appears to have been recently upgraded and the quality of materials, fixtures and workmanship was exceptional. The free breakfast was fast and very good with multiple selections available, with full table service. The front desk staff were efficient and very helpful with directions on eating establishments within walking distance of the property. We will be returning to this property on our next trip to the area."
