Once a VIP – Now Treated Like a Stranger 😒🚫
I’ve been coming to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 for over 25 years and stayed at this hotel many times. I was always treated like a VIP 💼 — complimentary room upgrades, referrals, and spending over $4,000 a year. But that loyalty clearly means nothing now.
The property has gone downhill fast ⬇️:
🚽 Leaky toilets
🚫 No refrigerators in rooms
🏚️ Worn-out infrastructure
🍤 Mediocre food at outrageous prices — two shrimp pastas and a beer cost $109 💸
Then came the worst part: a $250 💳 charge for a smoking claim 🚭 — no proof, no warning, no discussion.
Management seemed new 🤷♂️ — but frankly, I no longer care. They’ve lost my trust and my business permanently!
There are now better hotels near SJO ✈️, including newer properties under construction 🏨🔨 offering real value and service.
❗Avoid this hotel when traveling to Costa Rica.❗
