Great for beach access

Room was spacious and fairly clean with strong AC and amazing water pressure. The pool was really nice, and we regularly saw beautiful parrots fly overhead while we swam. Staff was lovely once you get past the check-in where they were pretty aggressive about selling tours. Restaurant and bar were great, and the breakfast was perfect for an active day. Unfortunately, their policy is to charge $20/hour for late check out, but when the electricity and water went out 3 hours before our check out leaving us without a shower that day, they offered no compensation or extra time to clean ourselves. Really, the only flaw of this place was the reception staff. Otherwise, lovely place!

Functional, better for young crowd

Super cute hotel right on the beach, the reception woman is the sweetest person and helped us a lot! This would be good for a younger person I think, bar/pool area plays music pretty loud all day and a little late into the night. Definitely some ruckus outside from other guests late. Only other downside is there is no blankets on the beds, it just a sheet. Otherwise, very cute vibes and simple functional rooms

Complimentary Breakfast is amazing!!! Older style hotel in terms of designing, but being right on the beach and having a balcony makes up for it. Centrally located so you can walk to downtown and explore the heart of Jaco. Also, we found that it was very helpful to stay at a hotel where most excursion were aware of the location. All of the excursions we booked offered complimentary pick up and drop off with bookings because it is a known area and hotel. Would 100% stay here again.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they served a nice big breakfast! The room was quite spacious and comfortable and the setting has a nice decor with lots of trees and plants and a little bridge over a small creek.

This property has a beautiful location right on the beach!! the pool is perfect. We loved our stay very much, we recommend rooms 14, 15...those in the back facing the pool that is right next to the bar, which is on the other side of the beach. You can't beat it!

Was a little weary for this trip after reading some negative reviews. Sure the place is rundown. But its still got a good vibe; staff was friendly and the location is beautiful. Beachfront is just .. wow.
Brad, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was roaches and the rooms smelled really bad. Couldn’t sleep because I just felt dirty sleeping in those beds. My parents found trash under their beds and empty beer bottles. Terrible stay.
