I had an amazing experience at Hotel Posada Canal Grande, thanks to the incredibly helpful staff and the beautiful location in the Santa Ana mountains. The spacious rooms offered a unique charm, though they did feel a bit outdated and lacked some modern amenities. Dining was pleasant, with delicious, fresh food available right at the hotel. Overall, this hotel served as a perfect home base for my adventures in Costa Rica.

The hotel had a lovely garden and outdoor areas, but it lacked some modern facilities. It’s more like staying in someone's personal home than a traditional hotel.
