Top hotels in Barrio Escalante
Barceló San José
Excellent hotel. The team are very friendly, and professional. There is a lot to do at the hotel itself and it was very clean. We enjoyed the buffet for only $25 per person, and the pool area with music and bar. Price was fantastic, would def stay again.

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center
Our bathroom tap was broken. Couldn’t run the water at all, I think the censor was broken. And the shower head was broken and only a small stream of water was coming out. Our coffee machine also was broken had to hold down the buttons for it to work.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
Property was beautiful but there was a large staircase into our room that was difficult to get our heavy luggage out of when leaving. Complimentary non-alcoholic drink at the bar was delicious!
