Top Hotels Near Escazú Village in San José from NZ$56

"Overall, our stay at Barceló San José was okay. The hotel, rooms, and lobby were clean, and the staff was nice. However, the pool area could use better maintenance since there were a lot of leaves and debris, especially in the kiddie pool. The hotel also feels a bit outdated. Breakfast was just okay — it would be nice to have more variety and international food options for guests from different countries."

"Everything was great. Had a beautiful time with my family."

"I bought a bottle of water and it was too expensive."

"As expected. Good location."

"We loved it so much as a couple. Gym was well equipped and the staff was kind and accommodating. looking forward to returning in a couple days"

"The room is disgusting, there was a kitchen in our apartment with a rancid smell. The room smelled of mold and there were hairs on the pillowcase. The bathroom was awful. The toilet did not flush unless pressed twice. The shower head had exposed wires. There was limited hot water. "

"It was nice & quiet!"

"Was good!"

"Breakfasts were toast with jam, cut pineapple and watermelon. Left over fruits from previous days were stored in fridge uncovered. Milk from paper container was old. Finally, it was replaced with a new one, after I purchased fresh milk from the neighbor mini-market. Limited on-street parking. Luis was always friendly, including a live-in construction worker, Moises. Room was not cleaned once during my entire 3-night stay. My room had a NO flush toilet papers sign over the toilet paper dispenser. I was instructed to use the trash bin next to the toilet for the soiled papers. Behind it, there hid a good size cockroach.Because there was no cleaning service, I was shown how to dispose of the soiled papers in a garbage container in the downstairs garage. Thank goodness, I was given a new trash liner to DIY. Apparently, there was no pest control for my room. I found pin-head black ants near the vanity sink. They also entered through the lid of my half-full cup of orange soda, placed over the mini fridge overnight. Beware the church bells were rang 6:30 am, non stopped until you're awaken. The patio outside my room had a non-usage sign after 9 pm, but the light was turned on 5:30 am to announce a new day for me. But I had a very pleasant and different experience for my stay last year. "
