San Julián Vacation Rentals

"If we had booked through the hotel directly we could have got free breakfast (I think it was $25 each). Also might have got a balcony but the room was fine. At the edge of Jaco so we had a short taxi or Uber ride to get into town - about $4! Although I don't use the casino another guest commented that there was no way to get money! No ATM in the hotel. Nearest is in the center of Jaco. Tried various restaurants. Pool bar was very good - a bit slow but very nice waiters. Pools are lovely though a bit too warm. Very helpful concierge booking and changing tours. Thank you Aura."

"Good experience, they can have a paved parking and also keep some complimentary water in the room. Overall it’s a very good property with good breakfast and an amazing staff. "

"Hotel Cocomar is not the ritz however your room is huge, clean and has a private beach directly in front which for the price is amazing! Staff is super friendly and helpful, but you need to ask for what you want. Property is dated and definitely needs upkeep, but for Costa Rica it is a little Gem. They have some resident stray dogs and cats who are super friendly but if you don’t like animals, maybe it’s not the place for you. Food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend the nachos ;) The beach is beautiful but waves are crazy and could kill you! Wonderful to sit and watch the waves or walk the beach and find treasures. Beds were comfortable and there were some English movies. If you want a hot shower- do it first thing in the morning! The monkeys tend to visit the Java apple tree on the property in the late afternoon and give you a show. Full kitchen in the room if you want to make your own food. Overall we had a great relaxing stay, drove to Manuel Antonio and Jaco beach was close enough for day trips - also rainmaker park was lovely and close too. We recommend this hotel for those who enjoy a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle - it’s tranquil and you can be at peace on the beach without anyone else around. If you can learn some basics in Spanish it will help you communicate with staff but they do speak English and will teach you some Spanish ;) Hotel Cocomar met our expectations and we hope others give it a chance as it deserves to be experienced.

"The rooms at the arrecife apartments are very old and not up to date anymore. The park is great, playa Blanca is very nice as well, however, the condition of the road going to punta Leona is in very bad condition, so are the roads within the resort."

"Stayed here again, because of our first visit last summer. Everyone and everything was amazing."

"The rooms were pretty ho-hum in terms of amenities. Dated. Food at the restaurant was hir or miss. Since there are no restaurants that aren't an uber ride away this is kind of a big deal. The beach was absolutely stunning."

"A perfect place to escape to the beach, even for an overnight visit from San Jose, 100% recommended. Food is great and the staff is super friendly."

"The stag was incredible and very attentive. They took great care of my family. Everything about the hotel was perfect. We loved that it wasn’t huge and that it was on the quiet side of Jaco. Would definitely recommend!!!"

"well maintained room spacious and quiet. Easy walk to the beach and downtown shopping. "
