A nice place for an overnight if you’re flying out early. Friendly helpful staff. The best shuttle service I’ve experienced. It’s available 24 hrs a day with pickup every 20 minutes. There are a few restaurant options that are walkable.

Barceló San José
The room was clean and nice, though we didn't have hand towels or a bath mat in the room. It was late so I didn't request them but I'm sure they would have brought some to us. The sauna was nice but the hot tub was a disappointment. The water was low and not hot enough.
