Barcelo Palacio is in my opinion the best option for a hotel in the San Jose area. I have stayed at the hotel 6 times over the past year and each time I have received excellent service from all areas of the hotel . Really a pleasant place to stay.

Extremely pleased with the hotel and the employees

Excellent breakfast. Good location - near the city centre and to go away to Natural Parks. A little noisy - road is near hotel.

Good value for the money!

We have stayed at this hotel the last 4 times we've been in San Jose, and my stays have always been pleasant. Rooms need to be refurbished soon, but still well worth the money. We stayed in the two-bedroom suite which has a computer & free internet ...Read more

Good breakfast, tennis court, spa, pool, private garden... What else can u need. The only drawback is the somewhat isolated location. A six dollar taxi ride to downtown is readily available. I would definately recommend staying if you want a place ...Read more

This was a wonderful experience, we stayed there on the 1st and last night of our honeymoon. The mattress was so comfortable when we arrived back home we purchased the same one for our bedroom. I highly recommend it and would stay there again.

Some good, no much great

It was rather cool in San Jose and the surrounding areas but hot by the beaches. Being cool at the hotel made the pool unusable as it is not heated. The suite we had for the week was nicely sized. It had a huge beautiful deck/balcony, large enough for a small party if we wanted. The view was pretty nice too. The service at the hotel though was quite mixed. When we arrived the portable phone in the room was broken. When informed them right away, and it didn't get fixed... then they tried to charge us for it upon leaving. There were light bulbs missing from the lamps in the living room. It took 3 days of reminders to get new bulbs. We asked about twice per day for the first 2 days. There was in mini-bar in the living area and one of the bedrooms. It was of course expensive as expected but you had to call up an assistant to open it for you... I thought the whole business model behind the mini bar was that you can have it at that moment before logic kicks in and reminds you that spending $3 on a can of soda is stupid. But what's worse is they charge you a fee to open the mini bar, just for sending someone up with the key. Also it took about 40mins to check out... thank god we aren't people who wait until the last minute or we would've missed our flight. The location of the hotel is mixed. Its not close to anything, including downtown San jose, or tha airport... however it is located right by two major highways of the country making it easy to travel. So don't book here thinking you'll be close to downtown San Jose, Irazu, or only 5mins from the airport. But if you want to travel all over the country from a centralized location close to the highways, its not so bad. Overall we enjoyed our stay because of the country, and its people. I wouldn't call the Barcelo bad, the room was quite nice and the restuarants were very good. But because of the poor service and so-so locatio Close

Nice place
