The free drinks were awful! It should be for any type of drink let the customer choose what they prefer. You took a benefit and turned it into a negative!! No lime wedges for our taco!! Limes are a dime a dozen.

My flight was delayed and I arrived after midnight. I didn’t make it to the breakfast buffet as I prioritized sleep after a long day of travel. I came to the restaurant just after 10 when the buffet had just closed. The staff made me an omelet and fruit plate. I fully expected to pay and they wouldn’t let me. I always stay at this hotel when I’m flying in or out of SJO. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are incredible!
