My stay at Ringle Resort was truly good, given the stunning views and well-maintained gardens. However, I encountered some service hiccups in the restaurant, which dampened the overall experience. The tranquil atmosphere makes it a perfect getaway, but getting there poses a challenge since it’s somewhat hidden off the main road.

I stayed in a well-appointed standard room with a king bed, mini fridge, and flat-screen TV. The decor was beautiful and the room felt more luxurious than a typical hotel layout.

The staff was generally helpful, but I faced a frustrating situation at the restaurant when we arrived late for dinner and felt unwelcome. There could have been clearer communication about the restaurant’s schedule.

Ringle is perched on a hill overlooking San Jose, offering amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by tropical flora. However, its hidden location made it tricky to find, as even locals struggled to give directions.

The resort has amazing facilities including a lovely pool, library, and well-kept gardens. I appreciated the tranquility, but it’s worth noting that some amenities like coffee makers were not available in the room.

I recently enjoyed my stay at Hotel Ringle Resort, nestled on a hill with stunning views of San Jose. The hotel is beautifully maintained and filled with tropical foliage, creating a tranquil atmosphere. While the breakfast was good, I'd love to see more variety each day. Overall, despite a few minor hiccups with service and dining, my experience was fantastic.

The staff was mostly helpful and quick to respond to my needs, but I found some service a tad aloof compared to what I experienced elsewhere in Costa Rica. It sometimes felt like they were a bit rushed or uninterested.

Situated in Escazu, the hotel is about 30 minutes from the airport and offers an amazing view. The grounds are lovely with lots of flowers and trees, but getting to nearby restaurants required a bit of effort since it’s nestled away from the main road.

The service was a bit hit or miss. While some staff were helpful, I found a few to be somewhat aloof, which was surprising given the friendliness I've experienced elsewhere in Costa Rica.

Finding the hotel was quite difficult as it's tucked away with minimal signage. Once there, though, the peaceful atmosphere and garden views were worth it, making it a nice escape from the bustling city.

However, finding the hotel was quite challenging due to limited signage, and I had a less favorable experience with the dining options during my second visit. The service was somewhat aloof compared to other places I've visited in Costa Rica, which was disappointing.

The location is beautiful and tranquil, just a 30-minute drive from the airport. However, it was really difficult to find; even locals weren't familiar with it, which was frustrating.
