Intercontinental San Jose Costa Rica

It was a quick two days after spending several days in Quepos. I went specifically to use the spa which is wonderful and the treatments were worth it. The only problem I had is that for 500 a night with club access, I found the rooms to be poorly maintained and the service not that helpful. The bathtub smelled of urine and the cold faucet was broken. The windows were very dirty and the shower door leaked water with every shower. The shower doors were dirty too. Nobody offered to help me with my luggage which I had two suitcases and a backpack and I was alone. For a 5 star hotel I expected a bit more of a warm greeting. The pool is very nice and kept up well and the morning breakfast and happy hours were nice. All in all, it was decent. The spa made up for what the cleanliness and service of the front desk lacked.

The hotel is very well located. I booked a room with a pool view but unfortunately, the person from reception gave us another room with no nice view. If you try to call the front desk or even room service you will be lucky to get through, the hallway was dirty, and when we arrived to the hotel no one helped us with our luggage not even a welcoming greet, was not what I expected, until now I still have problems with my payment, the hotel still has my preauthorization charge and not my final charge after my departure.

This is a nice hotel but I think it was more for locals as they have a lot of conferences. Staff was very friendly as they smiled but not helpful as tourist. As a tourist we need information and guidance. The service was slow paced. But definitely felt safe and secure.
