The Barcelo San Jose would be a top hotel, there were a few small defects not.

1.) room: my main point are the bad windows. The Windows dense not and the noise level in the room is, as the Windows would open. Sleep without ear plugs with me unfortunately did not. Furthermore, the entrance door did not close and the train between door and window rattled the door always. Otherwise is the layout of the room in accordance with a four star hotel. wireless is terrible slow and cost ten dollars per day, three days 20 dollars.

2.) breakfast: the breakfast is excellent except for the fact that on some days it is dated croissants (comes before).
Once a large group was there and I realised the breakfast not again. It was suddenly for coffee only plastic cups and self-service, no omelets or fried eggs, only to toast, the buffet quite broke and not just refilled again. Well in six days this was only the case. Otherwise very rich buffet breakfast with hot and cold dishes and a large selection of fresh fruits, muesli etc. only the bread selection is something small. Two sorts of toast and sometimes even a sort of white bread, more not.

3.) free time: the sauna is tiny and invites you not to linger, no beach chairs, uncomfortable and sterile. Reminded me more of a shower at a gym as a sauna. The pool is beautiful and amazingly large. It is several restaurants in the hotel, a casino and a bar with live music.
