Room Information
The Barcelo San Jose Palacio offers 254 rooms. All rooms are equipped with a mini-bar, air-conditioning, safety deposit box, complete bathroom with hair dryer, Satellite TV, telephone and 110 V Electricity.
The resort casino may be small, but the atmosphere is fun and perfect for a quick bit of fun before heading out on the town.
What We'd Change
With only one bar, hotel nightlife is tame. The bar is a good, though, and the hotel is close to other downtown San Jose options.
Why You Should Go
Barcelo San Jose Palacio is a hotel that mixes city attractions and laid-back leisure. If you want to explore, whistle for a cab or walk to a nearby museum.

Hotel Description
Barcelo San Jose Palacio: A San Jose Oasis
Tucked away in a quiet area of Costa Rica's capital is Barcelo San Jose Palacio. This tropical hideaway offers the ideal balance of city fun and vacation chill. Just 7.5 miles from the airport, the resort is an oasis in the heart of the San Jose action with a spa that features invigorating massages and a casino featuring roulette, Pai Gow (Chinese poker) and slot machines.
Though you might be in the heart of the urban jungle, the Barcelo Palacio in San Jose is home to a blissful and watery oasis. The resort pool is huge and has an adult section and a separate children's section. Soak up the golden rays as you lean back in a complimentary lounger. Order refreshing drinks and munch on tasty snacks from poolside Ranco Piscina. Ready to hit the shore? For a nominal fee, you can hop aboard the hotel's shuttle for a ride over to sister resort, Barcelo Tambor Beach.
After living it up in the surf and sand, head back to Barcelo Palacio hotel in San Jose and indulge in a cup of Costa Rican coffee at the Internet Cafe, while you check in with friends and family back home. When it's time to eat, try Anfora for international selections. There's also Miyako, a Japanese restaurant that uses fresh, local ingredients to create unique, exciting dishes. As the sun sets, unwind with a cocktail and the live music at Bosque Bar. No matter where you are, you'll notice that first-class European-style service is the name of the game for the hotel's discreet staff.
Throughout your stay at this restful enclave, stay fit with fun activities like tennis and aerobics. Or, make plans to check out the nearby museums--there are five spectacular ones in San Jose's city center alone. What's more, this hotel makes a perfect home base for sightseeing excursions. Spend the day exploring the lush Costa Rican rainforest, then return to the peaceful comfort and welcome perks of your Superior Room.
