Find Resorts & Hotels with Spas in Esterillos Este

"The location is amazing. There is no better staff anywhere. I stay here every time I come to Jaco. I always have an amazing time. There are great beach restaurants walking distance from the hotel. What an awesome place!"

"We spent three nights here and enjoyed the jungle setting away from town. Our room had a convenient outdoor kitchen overlooking the pool. Breakfast was good as was the comfort of the room. We would return "

"We were in a bit of shock when we reached Cocomar. The pictures must have been taken years back as the rooms were rather worn out. We had to pay extra to upgrade to a suite because our original room was tiny and rather depressing. The room was smelly - probably not aired out enough. Beds in the suite were good size but squeaky and one had a whole under the mattress fixed with a cardboard. Breakfast is part of the deal, however, it’s basically the same food (a plate with rice, beans, scrambled eggs, toast and 2 pieces of plantains) every morning, unless you order from the menu and pay for it. The ad promotes “a private beach”, which is true, it’s beautiful but it is not recommended to swim there due to strong currents. Big bummer as you have to drive 45-60 mins to Quepos. The pool are and the hotel surroundings are very well maintained. Wifi worked perfectly, the staff were really nice and friendly but didn’t speak much English. "

"This is a very strange property. There are a lot of hotels, private condominiums sharing the same facilities but having separate gated access. The common grounds, however, aren’t being looked after so well. The Selvamar section we stayed in was okay, but a bit tired now. Room was much smaller than anywhere else we stayed in Costa Rica, but it was comfortable. Breakfast was decent, but the restaurant by the main pool where we had a dinner wasn’t the best and not worth the money they charge. Two pools are kids friendly and they are of pretty decent size, but not very deep. Some other activities, like mini golf, are charged separately. There is a new high-rise apartment building buying built right by the main pool area & beach, which will look awful. I wouldn’t stay here again, because it doesn’t provide the Costa Rica experience I like, it’s more like something taken out of Benidorm, but I do understand why some might be very keen on it."

"The best Hotel near San Jose! Great for family gate away! "

"This is the best hotel of our trip. The beachfront location is unbeatable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The restaurant served excellent breakfast and dinner. We stayed here for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time here."

"Clean room!!! Cleaning staff made sure to clean all areas without touching our personal items. Great security. FYI I Didn’t really like the Mountain View of the hotel. Walking distance to downtown area and beach. Also store/liquor store next to hotel. "

"The views are absolutely breathtaking, easily the standout feature of the property. Whether you’re overlooking the ocean at sunset or walking through the grounds, the scenery is stunning. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with lush landscaping that really adds to the overall experience. Most of the staff around the hotel were warm, welcoming, and very helpful, which made navigating the property and enjoying the amenities easy. That said, the dining experience fell short. The restaurant staff were not as friendly, and the service felt subpar compared to the rest of the hotel. The menu lacked variety, and it felt like there were very limited options—almost like you were stuck eating the same meals repeatedly. Unfortunately, the food itself didn’t stand out either. Because the hotel is quite secluded, you don’t have many alternatives unless you’re willing to travel about 30 minutes into town, which can be inconvenient if you’re relying on the on-site dining. On a positive note, the private beach was a nice feature and a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, Villa Caletas offers incredible views and a beautiful, peaceful setting, but improvements to the restaurant experience and menu variety would make a big difference."
