Hi, that was also what we did. We also picked the San Jose for its beautiful location, with lovely views across the valley to the city and the volcanoes. We also travelled from the UK and were exhausted from the very long journey when we arrived, so just relaxed on the first day in the lovely grounds which are full of flowers and butterflies. The second day we had arranged a trip to a nature reserve. There are other trips you can do, and they will pick you up from the hotel. We ate at a nearby restaurant which was a short walk away which was authentic and also had lovely views at night across the valley. It was also a very nice climate higher up with cool breezes whereas in the city it is very hot and idirty.

The hotel is right next to a bus stop into town. But take care getting the right bus to come back. We ended up on what we thought was the right bus, but it was going in a different direction!

The buffet open at 6h30am to 10am
