I don't understand all the negative reviews. My room was clean and pleasant. The loation is great and the breakfast is very good. The only true neagative is that its used as a hotel for lots of educational tours. Kids weren't loud during the night, but are evrer present in the pool during hours. Jaco isn't my first choice for... More

We had the misfortune of staying here a couple of night in Feb 2013. Looked OK on hotels.com, but I guess the picts always do!. The only plus for this place is the location. It is right on the beach in Jaco. First, I have slept on floors more comfortable than this place. The beds were terrible! The room was... More

Other than the location of being right on the beach, this place is terrible! Have slept on floors more comfortable than the beds! Took the A/C a day and half to get the room comfortable. The small fridge was off so that took better part of a day to cool off and put drinks in. There was no coffee maker... More

This was one of many stops on our recent honeymoon. The hotel was okay (the room was small and the bathroom needed updating), but the location was great. We really didn't spend much time in the room so it wasn't that big of an issue for us. The locals were really friendly. My husband quickly became friends with a couple... More

I really enjoyed this hotel. It's located right by the beach and really close to the main strip. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. My room had a balcony facing the pacific and the a/c and hot water worked well. I had a little trouble with the wi-fi in my room, but in the pool/restaurant/bar area, the connection was good....

We stayed here during an educational tour with our daughters school. We did not choose the hotel but we were pleasantly surprised. After a long trip of very poor lodgings this hotel came as a treat. At this point our standards had been lowered in terms of what to expect at each new location but we were happy and comfortable... More

Pros: On the beach, good pool area with a nice bar and restaurant area, an almond tree nearby that had the most macaws I have ever seen in one place, a short walk to the downtown shops and restaurants, a nice balcony, a comfortable bed, and working A/C. Cons: no elevator, rip tides in this section of the beach, and... More
