Other Services
Barceló San José has a spectacular outdoor swimming pool for adults, and another for children, with views of the gardens. They are open all year round, taking advantage of the pleasant average annual temperature in Costa Rica that fluctuates between 21 and 27°C.
The hotel also offers a sun lounger service designed for visitors to find the peace and tranquillity they want while they enjoy a delicious cocktail or relax and sunbathe under the warm Caribbean sun. The swimming pool area is accessible from 6:00 to 21:00.
The lush hotel gardens provide a magnificent backdrop for the perfect holiday. Despite its short distance from the city of San José, with all the comforts of an urban hotel, the hotel is surrounded by dense tropical vegetation, making you feel like you are in an idyllic Caribbean oasis. A true delight for all the senses waiting to be discovered.
Barceló San José offers a wide range of sports, with specially designed facilities that can ensure an experience that is beyond your most wild expectations.
As well as the fully equipped gym, guests wanting to do exercise on holiday can enjoy the use of several tennis courts, floodlit for playing during the day and at night. There are also tennis classes available for those looking to improve their game.
Note: Access to the tennis courts is subject to availability and prior booking. You can book directly at our gym or by emailing: sanjose.fitness@barcelo.com. You can also call (506) 2220-20-34 extension 717.
We offer yoga sessions which are focused on promoting overall health and wellness through the practice of physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation.
Other sports that can be played at the hotel include racquetball and squash, and there are also pickleball courts for avid players. Both racquetball and squash are played on fully enclosed courts, with four walls and a roof. The object of the game is to serve or hit the ball in such a way that your opponent cannot return it correctly. Certainly a great way to have fun while exercising!
