My stay at Ringle Resort was a mixed bag. The views of San Jose were amazing, and the hotel's grounds were beautifully maintained, filled with tropical flowers and birds. However, I found it incredibly challenging to locate the hotel, and my dining experiences left something to be desired. While the staff was generally pleasant, some interactions felt a bit aloof.
