Barceló San José

Barceló San José

10/10 Excellent
"The property is a bit away from the airport and took a while to reach but was with the wait. It is a beautiful resort with well appointed rooms and a wonderful buffet breakfast. The airport shuttle was prompt and helpful, given the intense traffic in the area. We were upgraded to a suite which had a two bathrooms and a separate bedroom and patio overlooking beautiful sunsets. A fruit plate was delivered while we were out which was a nice touch. Nice place to stay."
