Excellent Dining Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at both Pimento Italian and the Market Cafe. Each meal was either very good or excellent, with the dinners particularly standing out. The Italian restaurant served some of the tastiest pasta I've ever had. The atmosphere was cute, and I loved the opportunity to try local beer while enjoying the pleasant service.” view full review

Comfortable Stay

“I stayed in a room on the sixth floor with a fine view of the pool and landscaping, along with mountain views. The room was not only attractive but also very comfortable, with thoughtful details like glass glasses in the bathroom and three waste baskets-one for each area of the room. I appreciated these little touches that enhanced my overall experience.” view full review

6.0/10

I had a mixed experience at the Intercontinental Costa Rica. The ambiance and cleanliness of the hotel were impressive, with a beautiful lobby and nice pools. However, the service was lacking, especially in the pool area which ran out of towels and took a long time to replenish. My room had some cleanliness issues, but the breakfast buffet made up for some of the drawbacks. Overall, it was good but not quite what I expected from a luxury hotel.
