Staff was friendly. Location was great. Property is older and showing it’s age. Direct access to beach and the pool was great to have. Pleased with our stay here overall. About 2 km walk to most restaurants.

Our stay was great! Rooms and hotel overall are very clean. The staff is so friendly and always willing to make your stay the best. The food is incredible!!
Important to mention that in the creek between the parking lot and rooms, there lives an 8-10 feet crocodile, the hotel staff stated that it lives there and that they have never had any problems, there is no way it can get to the actual hotel, but it is important to mention so you are not shocked in case you see it.

The room was nothing fancy, but the hotel is right at the beach. The pool/beach bar was great! The employees were all very friendly. Surf biard rentals and surf lessons right on the beach at the hotel.

Horrible stay tons of ants in both rooms. Breakfast was included but they changed for every glass of orange juice. The toilet was broken and they would not allow chairs on the beach to be moved in sun. Cost another $20 . Then they charged us for a check out delay. I would look for another place. Ants in my luggage. Hope customers lets me thru with Costa Rica critters in it. STAY AWAY

Loved the location! Beach is awesome. This is a nice quiet place to stay. By 9pm it’s very quiet and chill. The rooms are clean however the beds and pillows aren’t the best but honestly the location and price made up for it. Our room was clean and the perfect size we were right next to the restaurant kitchen and it did get noisy there starting at 5am so I recommend a room further away but really this property is a gem!

Lovely resort with lots of greenery and colorful murals, a great pool, easy beach access, and good food. The front desk staff were not the most courteous folks, but the restaurant/bar staff were wonderful, happy to make any drink we requested if they had the ingredients. The garden view rooms are older and smaller, but comfortable. Part of our group was in a pool view room, which was larger, newer, and nicer. I would stay here again if I'm fortunate enough to return to Jaco.
