We stayed at this resort for two nights when we landed in San Jose at the beginning of the trip and again for a couple of nights at the end of our trip before we flew out. The hotel has a nice pool and the lobby area is nice. The rooms are standard - not very modern. It is not walkable to downtown - we had a car and drove there, it was not far. Overall would recommend.
