    spacious suite
    outdoor pool
    cozy garden
    highway noise

    We absolutely loved our spacious suite with a balcony and enjoyed making our own espressos in the lounge. There are great relaxation spots here like the outdoor pool and the cozy garden area to unwind after a day of exploring. One little drawback was the noise from the nearby highway, but it didn't ruin our stay at all! 😊

    lush gardens
    spacious rooms
    dated décor
    unfavorable location

    This hotel impressed with its spacious, clean rooms and friendly staff. The lush gardens were a joy to explore. However, the décor feels dated, and the location isn't ideal for walking around—taxis are a must for getting out and about.

    I stayed at Barcelo for two nights during my trip to San Jose and had a wonderful experience. The beautifully landscaped grounds and large pool area offered a perfect retreat. Although the pool water was chilly, the cute staff and delicious breakfast made up for it!
