"This Hampton is as good as any in the states. The staff speak English exceptionally well and are tolerant of us attempting our muy feo espanol. Quiet rooms, great breakfast. My only complaint is the pool was a bit cold, but clean clear and perfect to swim. Will return."

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."
