In Hotel
If you're arriving in San Jose, CR by air, make a reservation with the Barcelo Palacio Hotel for a shuttle-bus pick-up at the airport upon your arrival at least 24-hours in advance of your arrival or you will have to pay about $25 for a taxi to the hotel.

Adequate facility, very good price
Hotel seems set-up for business travellers. There is no place you can walk to such as shopping, restaurants or park; taxi needed for any trip. At site restaurants are OK but little variety, high prices and unexplainable variation in details (for example, one meal-time at main restaurant not a single table had a napkin). We got a very good deal for the air and hotal package and enjoyed several day trips arranged thru the hotel.

Gov't regulated taxis (with yellow triangle on side) are dependable but will charge up to 3 times other taxi's charge. The other taxis, if arranged thru hotel, seem safe and just as good as the regulated ones.

Excellent service and location. We were able to travel to different parts of the city and several towns close to San Jose. It is also close to the airport and the hotel offers free transportation. The restaurant breakfast was superb.

Great service Great Location without being downtown
Hotel is always pleasurable. It is convenient for my travel but is not in the downtown area. I prefer to stay closer to the airport and visit downtown. The location is safe and each room key only allows each person with a key to access the fllor they are staying on. Breakfast buffet is very good, taxis are plentiful and everything we asked for was provided including faxes and scans.

San Jose is very congested plan your trips so not to go during peak hours and you will save at least half on the fair.
