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.

The property was somewhat old and definitelyoutdated. Several things definitely needed maintenance and/or updating. Parking was good and secure. Hotel location was on the beach and very nice despite no ocean or beach views from any room. Extra charges for what I thought should’ve been included such as having a friend stop by and hang out for a couple hours. $15 to register that friend. Evidently typically charged extra if you wanted fruit with your breakfast. All in all I would rate this place average.

This hotel is right on the beach and has a great view from the bar. We liked that there were beach chairs and a nice big pool. The issue was the partying. The walls are paper thin and we had a huge party going on in the room next door: loud music and singing, dogs barking, you name it! Didn't sleep a wink!

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 music from the bar is so loud it can be heard in the rooms and the beautiful patio can’t be enjoyed. The property is dated, the shower head is old and corroded, the bedside lamp didn’t work so the only light in the room was the overhead light. Access to the ocean is wonderful and the staff are very nice. We had a problem with check in, we reserved and paid in advance for 2 rooms for 4 adults and they couldn’t find the reservation for the 2nd room at first so we were told to sleep 4 adults in one room, when we refused the front desk staff said we were just out of luck for staying there rather than problem solve and told us to call Expedia for a refund. We finally asked her to call a manager and he quickly found the 2nd room. It was not a good experience and a terrible start to our stay.

Older charming hotel. Great traditional Costa Rica breakfast daily. Nice pool. Amazing beach. Able to rent boogie boards and take surf lessons. Efran at the beach bar was friendly and made great cocktails. Katherine at front desk was very helpful. She made arrangements for excursions and taxis and was so very nice. Sweet hotel dog Flocko was a memorable part of our stay. Would return.

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.

We travel to Jaco- South Beach hotel, have a wonderful time. Awesome just Awesome. The staff spoke English and shared their stories and experiences. Josh and Carlos and recommended hourse back riding and assisted in the booking. My husband, son and my daughter in law had a great time. What an amazing experience we had. We also traveled out and found Roots to River white water rafting- Oh my god we thought this trip couldn’t get any better-loved the team and WOW!!!Definitely would recommend- Thank you

Likes: staff, ocean, watching surfers, good breakfast, National park with sloths 1 hour away for $128 each - pick up at hotel. Shuttles on time!, beautiful pool and vegetation. Dislikes: Damp and stringy towels were provided every day Beach made of dirty dirt and rocks, uncontrolled humidity in rooms, loud thumping music from bar after 10pm. No fun shops in town. High prices on food and drinks. ( beer $7, well drink $12-13! Small bottle of Jack Daniels $76!!! That’s USA money my friends!). Early November not good for USA. Too many loud teens coming off beach area. ATM in town was broken. Hard core beach leaches who tell you they take credit cards but don’t and the word NO is not in their vocabulary. Hotel said they were not responsible but lots were out there waiting for prey. Like the Atlantic side, the Pacific side had lots of razor wire fences and the total decor was prison like. Once in awhile you spotted a nice house or hotel but most were like South Africa’s tin shacks for the blacks. This was supposed to be a relaxing trip but proved to be the opposite. We are avid travelers in the mid to low ‘70s range. We have been to over 35 countries and 5 continents and I’m sad to say that this was one of the worse. Forget cleanliness
