Barceló San José
Very nice hotel with excellent amenities. The free airport shuttle doesn’t run very often, so we weren’t able to use it. The location is cocked by highways so you need a taxi to go almost anywhere if you want to explore the city or eat outside of the hotel.

The breakfast was excellent with typical offerings of beans and rice, plantains, eggs, as well as other treats along with outstanding fruit, interesting pickled local fare, and hot sauces. Good coffee and juices, attentive staff.
