Costa Rica Hotels with Bars / Lounges

"The staff seem to be genuinely kind and caring people, from the front desk to the landscape staff and everyone in between. Can’t say enough about the property. The staff was helpful with scheduling activities, and no fault of theirs that the activity wasn’t as advertised. We rode horseback to the waterfall meaning we rode horses up one side of a mountain and had to walk down to the waterfall and back up, was told it was 400 steps and it was literally 9000, straight down and back up. "

"Wonderful hotel with amazing pool area (hot tubs of all kinds of temperature, sauna - and we often had it completely to ourselves!) Very friendly and helpful people. Breakfast was the best!"

"Beautiful hotel. Food was good. Staff was amazing. "

"So close to earning the fifth star. Just little things like better quality toiletries (add conditioner & body lotion). Have towels available at the pool across the street, provide drinking water at the pools, our dresser tops in the room were never cleaned (I cleaned the rings from glasses!). "

"Our stay was great. Hotel is a little out dated and food variation could be better. Buffet No meal rotation same options everyday. "

"A nice size resort. Very friendly and quality staff. Food was ok. Many walkable dining options in area. Rooms very clean and have everything. Every guest I talked to loved it there. "

"I had a lovely stay! The accommodation was nice, clean, and tastefully decorated. Everything was exactly as described, and it was a comfortable and pleasant one-night stay. I highly recommend it!"

"This is the second time I’ve stayed here with my wife 3 years ago. I stayed here by myself for 4 night before she joined me and am staying a few nights more. We’ve loved both times. The staff is so friendly and courteous. Everyone so helpful. Love the pool area and the different restaurants that are apart of Barcelo. Love the view from our windows, the premium lounge on the 6th floor and who ever was playing the piano in the lobby. "
