Common areas include a garden with a giant guanacaste tree and a terrace overlooking San José.

Dining

La Luz Restaurant & Bar is rated among the best in San José and emphasizes local and organic ingredients sourced from the owner's farm. Guests can enjoy private dining in serene outdoor settings or in the main dining room with white tablecloths. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with offerings such as fresh fruit smoothies and specialty coffee.
