Review of Hotel Palma Real 3*

This hotel was very reasonably priced for what you get. It was a good experience for the price. If you are used to staying at a five star resort then this may not be for you. However, if you are looking for an economical place to stay, that is also clean and somewhat modern this is a good place. It is located about 20 min from the airport and only about 10 min to the downtown San Jose area. The rooms are not dirty, but are not newly renovated looking. They could use a little updating. It is advertised that there is AC. However, it felt more like a fan blowing cool air out of the unit. So if you like a very cold room you may be disappointed, but it's not hot. You can open the room windows to get fresh air as well. The hotel concierge Javier was wonderful! He booked all of our day trips, greeted us every morning, and always looked out for us. He speaks English and that was also helpful as we asked a lot of questions about the area and the day trips. The full breakfast each morning was decent especially for the price of the stay. The restaurant prices for lunch and dinner were reasonably priced as well. Overall, this is a very decent hotel for the price. We knew we just needed somewhere clean and safe to stay for 7 days in the evenings because we spent each day out of the room. I would say this hotel met our expectations. For the low price, you also get free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast. Our Wi-Fi worked well each day from the room. The casino is a plus if you gamble. It is small, but it is a casino. There is also a fitness center. There is no pool on site, but if you choose to swim you can use the pool at the apartments next door. It is a very small pool.
