“Valle De Escalante presents a paradox: while some find the price appealing for a brief stay in San Jose, others struggle to find redeeming qualities. It strikes me as a property with inconsistent experiences, perhaps better suited for travellers with very specific needs or expectations. I feel that a deeper look is needed to understand if it is worth the risk.”
