6/10 Okay

I liked the free breakfast, the lobby and restaurant staff. The bathroom wasn't too clean, with mold around the edges. The tables in room had sticky bottle and glass marks from previous stays. No coffee or sugar in room even though they has a coffee maker. The rooms have the A/C off until the guest get to room and turn it on. It was super hot for at leat an hour. Not a good experience

The property had all the great amenities, but the room arrangement was a little bit awkward. A nightstand to lay things on would be a plus and maybe a little more hanging space

This is a beautiful hotel with nice pools and surrounded by wonderful plants and trees. The rooms are big and include a fridge which is very important in this hot country. Jaco beach, reastaurants and bars are 3-5 minutes walk. I have enjoyed my stay a lot.
Tomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was really great, especially the front desk attendant. Maybe he was the manager. Just what I needed for an evening check-in and a quick stay It was more of a hotel so I would not stay there again as a solo traveler
Brianne, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This hotel was not as expected. The photos posted by the hotel and on booking websites are a bit deceiving. While the downstairs rooms with kitchens looked ok through the windows, the room I was in upstairs had mold on the ceiling and looked like it had seen better days (one fluorescent lightbulb in corner of the room, curtains did not close all the way etc) . It was ok for one night, but I ended up cancelling my second night as the booking was not what I expected. To be honest, not sure I would I have stayed in the first place had I known what it was like beforehand. As mentioned, the downstairs rooms with kitchens did seem to be in better condition. While other reviewers say it is quiet, the hotel is just off the main road in jaco and I could hear motor cycles reving all night. The sign on the front desk clearly says ‘no prostitution’ as you are checking in. I recommend going on Expedia and looking at some of the lower ranking reviews with photos which might give you a better expectation. The pool was nice and breakfast was fine, great proximity to beach. Overall, fine but do not expect the hotel to look like the more edited photos advertised.
