Hotels with Spa in Vara Blanca, Heredia Province

"Loved the sunsets, gym and room service of this beautiful hotel. Great place to spend the night before catching an early flight out of SJO."

"Breakfast was excellent! It has rice beans, veggies, meat, yogurt, etc. the swimming pool area looks nice, very tropical. The room is spacious and clean. The main downside is that there is no elevator… so carrying heavy suitcase upstairs is quite a walk. Other than that, the hotel is very good. "

"We arrived after midnight due to a late flight and customs. The hotel was nice but our room in the back was run down and sparse with limited amenities. The room was at least three decades past an update. In the morning we had a lovely breakfast and the staff and service was great. Prices in the gift shop were not clearly marked and the clerk tried to sell me a small bottle of water for $6 US dollars. "

"Barcelo San Jose hotel is impecable in every respect- cleanliness, service etc. It has 3 restaurants to choose from: Japanese, all you can eat buffet, and another one with table sevice. I chose the bufet and the food was great. People are very friendly, kind and ready to help. Its all-around 5 star rating! You don't see many of those nowadays:) "

"Interior decor was amazing"

"Very nice high end stay. The property has a lot to offer and the rooms and their views are beautiful. Staff was very helpful, as you’d expect. Great time. "

"Always a great hotel to stay in. Rooms are spacious, pool is nice, always clean and orderly. The best part is the staff, they are helpful, friendly and always doing their best for the clients."

"The room was clean and comfortable. We only stayed overnight to fly out the next day. We had dinner at the hotel because it is not a walkable area and getting in an out of the roundabout is a bit confusing. Dinner was excellent. The website advertised free transporation to local attractions but not an airport shuttle. There is a call service for transportation, but at a pretty steep cost for such a short drive. We use UBER at half the cost of their taxi service. The staff was very nice, but the restaurant and counter were understaffed for a holiday weekend (spring break) : ("
