The pictures are a little misleading. Needs a lot of updates. Locals hangout. The dust on the wall was so thick, maybe from ac… but still… let’s clean that up!!! Staff was nice. Beach front beautiful but a lot of ppl trying to sell things etc a little sketchy all around

I enjoyed my stay overall, mainly because of the amazing location—being right by the beach was definitely a highlight! The bar staff and servers were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. However, the front desk service wasn’t as warm or helpful, which was a bit disappointing. The accommodations could also use some updates—the room felt a bit outdated, and the towels weren’t the best quality. That said, the beach access and the vibe at the bar made up for some of the downsides. With a few improvements, this place could be a real gem!

This property is not the place to go if you want to relax. Music is playing from 10am to 10pm. Very few beach chairs available. Grounds and walkways are dirty. No blanket on the bed, only 1 sheet.

Worn Out

Check-in guy was on his phone the whole time. Zero customer focused. The best description would be just plain 'worn out'. Breakfast is limited. As an example, a second cup of coffee is $3. U.S. Plain chicken dinner is $20. I recommend 5 minute walk to Beach Break Resort. Big room for $25. less per night. Another 5 minute walk to $6.50 chicken dinner

This hotel is a gem.

Perfect place for a family in this somewhat young, single tourist beach town. The beach down here is sandy and more toward the north has a lot of rock, so very happy with the location. Casually set up a surf lesson with the company right outside the hotel. The hotel had a lot of beautiful plants throughout the rooms. It was old school, but in the best possible way. This is my ideal kind of hotel.

Due to Mother Nature we missed our connecting flight to get to this hotel. Allegedly Expedia contacted the property to request a refund for my room as there was as nothing I could do. The first time I called the hotel they said okay just have Expedia contact us. Expedia drug it out for days and now the hotel does not want to give me a refund. This probably would have been a good hotel to experience but due to the circumstance put a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe not so much on them and more on Expedia not sure but very frustrating.

Great spot on the beach in Jaco. Good food, good staff, rooms are nice. Getting towels to shower daily is a pain in the ass. Free breakfast is average.
