4* San Jose, Costa Rica - Barcelo San Jose Palacio

[Mr. Agee]

Here's a decent direct buy via Hotels.com and I also noticed that PRICELINE.com has this same price as a direct buy on their website too.

The Marriott ($209 + taxes/fees) and Intercontinental ($180 + taxes/fees) have always been "the" places to stay in San Jose but over the years they've nearly doubled their prices (both use to be $100 per night consistently). I've been to the The Barcelo San Jose Palacio before and it's one of three 4* hotels in San Jose, Costa Rica (actually only ranked 3.5* by Hotels.com) and it's a great place to stay with large clean rooms and a nice pool.

Here's what I paid: $117 per night for (4) nights = $468 + $76.72 in taxes/fees = $544.72 TOTAL

Now with the money saved my fam and I will skip the hotel food and enjoy the finer restaurants in town! :)
