Very disappointing experience, especially for a hotel of this category. The Wi-Fi in my room was unacceptable. I was travelling for work and needed a stable internet connection, but it disconnected roughly every three minutes. Microsoft Teams calls were constantly interrupted or dropped, making it extremely difficult to work properly. Reliable Wi-Fi should be a basic standard in a hotel that caters to business travellers, and unfortunately Barceló San José failed badly in this regard. The soundproofing in the suite was equally disappointing. Despite staying in a suite, the room did not provide an adequate level of noise insulation. From around 5:00 a.m., the traffic from the nearby highway was clearly audible and continuous, making it very difficult to sleep or rest. These are not minor inconveniences. Poor internet connectivity and inadequate soundproofing significantly affected both my ability to work and my quality of rest. Given the price and category of the hotel, I expected a much higher standard.

Beautiful property not too far from the San Jose Airport. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Common areas are lovely. Paid for breakfast was generous with lots of delicious options. Friendly and professional staff. My only challenge was the free shuttle was challenging to book. Had to arrange through email that I was never successfully able to reach despite trying numerous times. Ended up taking a cab which was OK but would have been nice to be able to take advantage of the shuttle. Nice little spa just outside the hotel. We enjoyed a wonderful, reasonably priced massage. Hotel staff graciously allowed a late check out. All and all a wonderful value and we are very happy with our stay.
