Habitación amplia. Desayuno buffet muy variado.
Se nota que es un hotel antiguo, suelo de moqueta y aire acondicionado que no se puede regular la temperatura, hacía frío de más.

La tranquilidad y atención del personal.
Las tarjetas se des configuraban y se tenía que ir a volver a activarlas.
Booking al parecer no tiene el teléfono actualizado para hacer la reserva del bus para el aeropuerto

Me gustan mucho sus instalaciones y el desayuno tan variado
Esta vez me pareció que todo estaba menos cuidado que la última vez. En la habitación había telas de araña con sus respectivas arañas, las que sacaron las chicas de limpieza cuando les avisé. En el baño había una cucaracha muerta , la que vimos muy tarde en la noche, por lo que avisamos al otro día en la mañana cuando ya nos íbamos

It is a hotel of good standards, where one can spend the night comfortably. Bed is very good. Staff are professional.
The hotel is very dated. Bathroom is quite old and not very pleasant, although clean and functional.

We booked a premium suite with a balcony and lounge benefits. The balcony has seating for 2 and looks out over the gardens or pool. 5th and 6th floor.Bedding is nice - premium linens, bathrobes and the suite is spacious. The lounge has a good coffee machine! So yes you can fix yourself an espresso! If you like there are plenty of snacks or drinks in case you want to grab something in between meals. If Safety is a concern? Book this hotel and you will be surrounded with friendly staff & security personal. Especially for solo travellers I would recommend this hotel. When in San Jose again I book re-book. Thanks Barcelo team.
Honestly all was good.

The staff was incredible and the facilities were stunning! Great view from the pool and beautiful breakfast area. The breakfast selection was great and there was a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport. Great options and value!
You can walk downtown from the site however it is about an hour and a half to the central market/downtown core. I did walk it in the daytime and the local police mentioned to be cautious as normal when you are a tourist in foreign countries. I would not recommend walking at night.
The jacuzzi wasn't working that week 😕 and the dinner isn't recommended in my opinion. Remember this is my opinion that is why I booked the hotel stay with breakfast only.

The food and the garden
Outdated but that’s not such a big deal.
The location was not very good unless you have a car

Everything was great. Loved the VIP service with all day buffet for food and drinks.Also the spa on site was really nice. Airport shuttle very convenient and also the breakfast buffet was great. Late check out at 3pm. Overall I was very happy with my choice to stay there.
The room smelled a bit old. But I opened the window and then I had a great time. The sauna was not really hot, but I still used it 2-3 times.

The pool and gardens.
I booked rides to and from the airport a week in advance but my morning ride to the airport was not arranged. Staff called us a cab saying it would be $10. It was $40. Disappointed had to pay for their mistake since I had my ride requests in writing (proof)

The staff were pleasant despite challenges encountered during my stay. Plenty of beautiful greenery on the grounds.
I was restricted to one onsite restaurant. The wifi connection was temperamental. The excursion desk was never staffed. Onsite entertainment was only offered on certain nights of the week. Pretty much the same food was offered on a daily basis. Nothing like my stay at Aruba Barcelo.
