A Wonderful Stay
This is the second time I’ve stayed here with my wife 3 years ago. I stayed here by myself for 4 night before she joined me and am staying a few nights more. We’ve loved both times. The staff is so friendly and courteous. Everyone so helpful. Love the pool area and the different restaurants that are apart of Barcelo. Love the view from our windows, the premium lounge on the 6th floor and who ever was playing the piano in the lobby.

4/10 Fair

Internet crashes constantly. This has been an ongoing issue for months. Staff is not helpful and always blames on a third party provider. Situation is totally unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber. As a platinum level member of Expedia, this experience has me looking for other options next time I am in San Jose.

2/10 Poor

Extremely Disappointing
Here’s your revised review that follows the guidelines: The worst experience I’ve had at a hotel. I prepaid a month in advance through a booking app, and when I arrived, I was told there were electrical issues on the floor I was assigned. The hotel had arranged a room for me at a different property, claiming it was just as nice and had comparable amenities. That was far from the truth. The alternate room was not equivalent in quality, and the experience felt like a significant downgrade. When I raised the issue, Barceló refused to offer any compensation, stating there was nothing they could do. I also spent an hour on customer service with the booking platform trying to resolve the issue, but received no meaningful support. After a full day of travel, I was left feeling frustrated and completely unsupported by both the hotel and the booking platform. tldr; poor customer service, very disappointing experience.

TV had to be repaired. Room phone did not work for rooms service orders. Maid came knocking at 8:30am to see if had checked out. She should be in touch with her management team, and not disturb us.

Everyone in the hotel was extraordinarily kind and helpful. I got sick and hotel staff made a bad situation totally fine. I’m grateful to everyone at the welcome desk, the concierge and the wait staff. The slogan for Costa Rica is La pura vida. Staff couldn’t have been kinder!
