One advice, do not give your credit card number to Hotel Jaguar in Cahuita ‘cause they’ll automatically charge 50% of your 2-day stay or 30% or your 3+day stay, even 2 months ahead… And if you try to cancel even 5 days in advance, they do not refund. Stay away from them. more

The room was a decent size. Nothing fancy but acceptable. The bathroom’s not too new but it was alright. The pool was nice (a good size) with a shower right by it. Playa Negra is right out front. However, getting to the nicer beaches (in my opinion) at Cahuita National Park and the supermarket (as well as the bus stop... more

I have stayed at this hotel a few times over the years and am glad to see that the new owners are doing renovations and taking care of this excellent property located right across the road from Black Beach, on the Caribbean.

I`ve seen a beautiful calypso concert in the new restaurant. They have a lot of proyect about music. The gardens are simply beautiful, and the first block of... more

What a surprise when we arrived at the Hotel Jaguar in Cahuita, Costa Rica. It was nothing like the guide books or listing on Costa Rica.Net or Costa Rica Travel Web described. These descriptions are 10 - 20 years old. This place has not been maintained since the current owners, a Canadian and his Tica wife, bought the place 13... more

I read the previous review, which is negative, just a few weeks after I visited it myself. It is true that the place saw better times, but it was not the dark site the previous reviewer perceived. The rooms are large and airy, the beach is a few meters across the road, and I paid US$40 per night: that is... more

The website for this place (---) has some nice looking photos, the price was right, and it's owned by a Canadian so I thought it'd be OK. Not. I checked out 20 mins. after I checked in. The place just felt sketchy. There was no one around - and not in a nice secluded serene kind of way - more... more
