One of the places that looks the same as in pics and even better. Nice and comfortable room, parking next to the room itself. Location was comfortable - quiet but only 10 minutes from la fortuna. The thermal pool is fun, especially at night. Breakfast is good but the rest is expensive.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Northern Plains during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, travelling now comes with more challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Northern Plains:
  • Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
  • Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're bringing food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
