Hotel Grano de Oro, with its traditional charm, often serves as an excellent starting point for exploring Costa Rica. Guests frequently compliment the spacious rooms and the delightful dining experience in the open courtyard, with its diverse and locally inspired menu. While most find the location central and convenient, some rooms facing the courtyard can be a bit dark due to the plants.
