Returning to San Jose from an extensive trip, the hotel provided a super comfortable stay with a very tasty breakfast offering multiple options. The rooms are large, comfortable, with a personal porch to enjoy the beautiful valley view just steps away from the pool. The service at Posada was lovely and accommodating, making our stay hassle-free. The location on an amazing hill overlooking the city in a quiet neighborhood offers stunning views, though transportation is needed. The dining experience, while offering cooked-to-order options, was somewhat basic. Overall, a great stay with friendly service and lovely views.

My stay at the hotel was like finding a hidden gem on a leafy hill in Escazu. The rooms felt like cozy apartments with small kitchens and balconies, but they were showing their age a bit. I always ended up extending my stay because of how comfortable they were. The service was top-notch, with friendly and extremely helpful staff ready to assist. The location offered serene views of the city, perfect for relaxation, but it wasn't ideal if planning to visit San Jose. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of fresh options that satisfied my taste buds. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel feels like a cozy little apartment with a lovely porch to soak in the stunning valley views while just steps away from the pool. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with small kitchens and bathrooms that make the stay super cozy. The tasty breakfast with multiple options adds a delightful touch to the experience, even if our booked superior room was not available.

The hotel offers rooms with a kitchen and large bathroom, although a bit small when traveling with luggage, overlooking the pool and San Jose valley town with a terrace to enjoy the view. The service is provided by very friendly and discreet staff, fulfilling all our needs. The location is up the hill with stunning views and a fantastic pool, albeit a bit distant from shops and restaurants. The dining experience includes a panoramic view from the pool and delicious options, but may lack some variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with great value for the money.

Staying here was like finding a hidden gem! The rooms are more like cozy apartments with small kitchens and bathrooms, and we loved the terrace where we could relax and enjoy the view. We always ended up extending our stay if possible, that's how much we enjoyed it. The only drawback is that the location might be a bit out of the way if you prefer to be closer to the heart of San Jose.
