The room was nice, but small and nothing special. Some event that was being held here wa a bit loud and we could hear through our window. What was really disappointing was the breakfast that was so highly talked about and we'd hoped to get before exploring. It was $30 for what amounts to a continental breakfast everywhere else (pre-packaged, store bought yogurts, fruit, cheese and cold cuts). On the plus side, the restaurants around here are amazing.... so get out and find great food elsewhere!

We had a suite, spotlessly clean, nice and roomy with decent beds that could have been a bit softer, and an excellent shower. Staff were universally polite and motivated to please. The location was perfect. The Osa restaurant was a cut above the typical hotel restaurant. The only issue was the breakfast buffet which was just embarrassing. Fortunately Urth Café is just across the street.
