The location was great. On the quieter end of the beach which was nice. If the hotel put a little money into the place it would go a long way

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.

We arrived late at night, after check-in but were
greeted immediately, very grateful we didn't have to sleep in our car. We only booked for 1 night but were pleasantly surprised how nice the property & beachfront were.

The hotel is Gem 💎. Please don't let the entrance turn you off. The rooms aren't fancy but has everything you need. Beautiful pool and spectacular walking beach right after the bar.

A nice location just outside the main downtown area. Room was clean, breakfast was quick and tastey. Only negative was that there were many mosquitoes in the garden area that our room was located.

The beach area was magnificent! But the outside of the hotel looks low quality. The bathroom feels and looks almost like a prison, the ceiling had black mold and the paint was chipping bad near the a/c unit.
