Barceló San José
It’s a dated hotel in need of an update. My room was right out of the 80’s and while it was high end dark wood and marble just know. The inclusive breakfast was great but the restaurant at dinner was not. Pretty grounds and pool area

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
Excellent as always. Make sure you ask for a room with workspace if you need it - some of the smaller rooms don’t have desks.

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen
Staff were excellent, unfortunately except for the coffee shop, we found the restaurant food very mundane and overpriced. Steak House and sushi restaurant offerings require some TLC
