DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica
"The food at the resort was not good! The staff did a good job. The restaurants in the area were not good… I did get to go on a few excursions… the hotel helped with that! It was enjoyable! Overall not bad but I would probably stay somewhere different! I would say…. 6.1"

"Everything was nice… eggs were a little runny for scrambled and the fried plantain were over ripened which made them mushy. Todo estuvo bien… los huevos estaban un poco líquidos para ser revueltos y el plátano frito estaba demasiado maduro, lo que lo hizo blando."
