Top San Rafael Hotel Reviews

Barceló San José

Barceló San José

8/10 Good
"The hotel is beautiful, great amenities and delicious breakfast with lots to choose from. The staff are so kind and friendly, helping you with everything you need. The down size is the location, which you can’t walk anywhere, you do need a uber/cab for everything. The pool is a bit cold, but for some they would say “refreshing”. Overall, we really enjoy our time there. Really great!!! "
