Barceló San José
The most wonderful bed. The windows opened wide. Great staff, super clean, nice shower. Will stay again if we have the opportunity. It was worth a stay of more than one night!

Irazu Hotel & Studios
My stay was cool. The rooms do not have a microwave, a mini fridge and even Kleenex. The room also does have a lot working electrical outlets, it was hard to charge multiple devices. The property was nice and the room did what it needed to do for one night.
