Over priced - accommodations were fine
Hotel was fine, the only restaurant that was open was the bar, the food was subpar. The hotel was overpriced for what it was. Bathroom was very outdated.

Perfect for first night in Costa Rica
Stayed for our first night on arriving in Costa Rica. Transport from airport to the hotel was provided and excellent. Room was very comfortable with good air conditioning. Breakfast was excellent. Amazing pool area. We have booked to stay the last night of our holidays and will definitely be taking a dip in the pool.

Great place not too far from the airport
Lovely hotel with lovely people. The only downside was difficulties in booking the shuttle from the airport. We really enjoyed our stay at the Barcelo and proved to be an ideal place location wise to start our holiday. Thank you

The Barcelo is always beautiful and reliably great! The staff is friendly and efficient. I only stay a night or two but do so often. It is a great place to stop after flying in and before shuttling out to someplace further afield.

Great room. Comfy and clean. The service was friendly but understaffed. The pool closed at 5 which was more than disappointing for our kids who had been traveling since 330 am and the bar food was not good at all. Breakfast was good though.
