This hotel was disgusting. The mattresses were old, maybe from the 80s, moldy and filthy. No blankets on bed. The room itself was dingy and dark, but did have air conditioning. We stayed in a partial ocean view with a walkout to pool. Cockroaches as well. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good.

Lovely resort with lots of greenery and colorful murals, a great pool, easy beach access, and good food. The front desk staff were not the most courteous folks, but the restaurant/bar staff were wonderful, happy to make any drink we requested if they had the ingredients. The garden view rooms are older and smaller, but comfortable. Part of our group was in a pool view room, which was larger, newer, and nicer. I would stay here again if I'm fortunate enough to return to Jaco.

Our room had amazing volcanic view. The breakfast (free!) included a variety of options and food was amazing! Walkable distance to other restaurants. Staff was friendly and had booked all our reservations! The only issue was with one of the tour guides who took us for night tour. He was not professional at all and took us to somebody else’s private property. Be aware of such scams and go with reliable guides.

The staff was great. I was able to walk in town. It took about 15 minutes. Nice beach bar. Free breakfast was Costa Rican breakfast that included beans and rice, plantains, sausage and scrambled eggs. The other option was the American breakfast that included pancakes and fruit. Coffee was amazing!

The property & room were nice. There was a frig but no coffee maker in room. AC worked good. The pool was great. There were not many pool chairs but they were always available. Also chairs set up on the sand for use. There was a rince off after coming from the sand. Breakfast was good however we were charged for coffee. We did not know you could not have refills. We got up to leave & they called us over to pay. It was a very high cost for coffee which is why I give it less stars. Seemed like a rip off & they didnt tell us. We mentioned it to the front desk & they said thanks for letting them know but can't do anything about it. Easy safe walk to town. We also walked from the hotel, across the highway to El Miro trail, saw lots of monkeys.
