Huge selection of stores and food options, with some top end restaurants. The stores for the most part are high-end and pretty pricey. It was the first big mall in Costa Rica and after quite a few additions has managed to stay at the very top. Parking isn't the easiest but except during the holiday season is definitely adequate. Really nice place to go out with friends, go to the cinema, shopping. In general a well made place
