The place is located in a small town, but under 30 minutes driving distance to the San Jose airport. The staff was nothing but friendly and attentive. The views from the hotel are spectacular, it felt like we were at a high-end luxurious resort. The villas are very spacious and all have beautiful views from their balconies. The hotel even has private trails you can walk. The breakfast included was a la carte, and delicious. Highly recommend this hotel!
