The hotel was very close to La Sabana park. We walked in the park and also walked to the National Stadium to watch a soccer game. The breakfast was great, with lots of options. The pool was nice too. The apartment we stayed in had 2 bedrooms, which were small, but had plenty of closet space. The living room area was tight, but had enough seating for 4 people. Decorations were minimal.
Nice central location with friendly staff. Looks like a boutique hotel designed like a 5star affair (but do not expect lift/escalator) but safe inside closed-off (gated & covered) area for car park - compact cars only. No dishwasher either. Ancient model stove from 1950s. Radio Shack era phones. One thing I hated was their sly trick of naming their hotel as if it is a Residence Inn ..not related .. actual name is SUITES CRISTINA. Full service restaurant and room service was a plus. Reasonably good free breakfast and good wifi. Go for the 2 separate room models if you are traveling with kids.
The staff were so helpful. My favorite part was the Itslian restaurant connected to the property. So good! The breakfast buffet did not disappoint. Garage parking too.

Very relaxing environment and even more so if you love nature, tjis is a great place to see it.
I loved it here . Being from America I was skeptical about the language barrier but they made every effort to communicate the best they could and made sure my stay was comfortable and fun
