Nieves 8/10

Denmark 🇩🇰

Pros: Breakfast was very good and apartments big. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed also the swimmingpool and the jacuzzi.

Cons: You can see that is not a new place, but if you do not care about that, definitely recommended

Great choice

Pros: Really loved this property, loved the location, the exceptional staff, the fabulous breakfasts, gym, pool areas… everything! Complementary coffee at Reception was an additional perk. Really appreciated the maintenance team helping with the TV settings. Laundry service is available. Stayed in six different types of accommodation and areas and this is my favourite all round. Would definitely stay again.

Italy 🇮🇹

Pros: The room was very big, a proper apartment, even different bathrooms. The pool seemed nice but we didn't have enough time to try it. The location was really good, in a safe/quiet area of San José, close to restaurants and shops.

Cons: The breakfast was included but you had to pay extra if you wanted eggs/cooked items.
