Hotel Nine

I love this Hotel, I had great time, ocean front location, very clean room, air conditioned, good bed, complementary surf boards, very nice restaurant excellent food ( like Ruth Chris ) in the USA.

Hotel Catalina

I have been going to Jaco almost every year since 1994 and I can't imagine staying anywhere other than the Hotel Catalina. I still can't believe I found this place tucked away at the south end of the beach away from all the noise of downtown Jaco. And it was exactly as the website described it. Naomi and Sandra are always so welcoming and make me feel right at home from the minute I get there(usually in the middle of the night) The rooms are clean and comfortable and you can't get any closer to the beach. The garden setting is perfect for enjoying the sunset each night and the hotel dog Dino is more than happy to keep you company as the sun goes down.

Hotel Club del Mar

I stayed at Club Del Mar this august with a friend of mine. We had a condo and was completely worth it! The bar has great breakfast, "tapas", and lunch. Dinner was decent. However, you can cook for yourself in the condo with the stove, toaster, blender, microwave and coffee pot!

Hotel Poseidon

I just returned from a week in Costa Rica. I only stayed two nights at Hotel Poseidon and I wish I could have stayed longer. I loved everything about this place...the food, the rooms, the service, the location, etc. The beach can be seen from the front door and great restaurants and shops surround the hotel. We spent hours at the hotel bar each night laughing and telling stories with the locals, other tourists, and Mark (the bartender). Internet is available for hotel guests and the staff is very willing to help you with whatever you need. Arial at the front desk was extemely helpful fixing the mess that was created by Interbus (transportation company). **Note: I would NOT recommend using Interbus. Unfortunately, we already pre-booked Interbus prior to arriving in Costa Rica. They forgot us on the way to Jaco and were 3 hours late bringing us back to San Jose.

Clarita's Beach Hotel

Just got back from a week long stay in Jaco at Clarita's and can't wait to go back!

We booked our reservations from Clarita's website very last minute (2 or 3 days before arrival) and within a few hours I received a response back confirming our reservations.

Bahia Azul

The staff at our condo was wonderful and always available to help give directions, book tours and provide other services as needed. The view was terrific and for 6 evenings we watched the beautiful sunsets. We were within walking distance to restaurants, supermarkets and shopping. We will definitely go back. Our experience was very good and so relaxing.

La Paloma Blanca

This was perfect for us! Daystar had a driver pick us up at the airport and take us 2 hours thru the mountains to the condo for $100.00. Check in was easy and Edwin took us to our 4th floor oceanview condo and oriented us to the place.

Bahia Encantada

This place is really beautiful. The furnishings are top notch, the kitchen is gorgeous and well stocked. The living room is a little small but it is sufficient. Each room has 3 balconies which is so nice!! The staff is very accomodating, with a nice family feeling.

“Very charming hotel”

Hotel La Palmera

I spent a week with my husband in this charming and quiet hotel.

It is the perfect place to relax and many tours are available from the hotel.

Definitely recommend this hotel!

El Paso de las Lapas

El Paso de las Lapas is an outstanding eco-boutique hotel near Jaco, Costa Rica. Even though it is only five minutes away from downtown Jaco, it's out of all it's rush. This hotel is an ideal place if you want to rest in a fully equiped and luxury place, in touch with nature

Tommy G's Hotel

My wife and i planned a trip to Costa Rica in October to visit our Daughter who is in School in San Jose.

We planned on Staying in San Jose City for a few days and at some point we would venture out on our own.

Club del Sol

My husband and I stayed at Club Del Sol in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica.

The experience was superb. It is, in our opinion, one of the best places to vacation and simply enjoy life.

Hotel Balcon del Mar

great hotel, big rooms, cold a/c big beds, nice pool, AWESOME PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST!!!!

very friendly people.

Hotel Jaco Fiesta

My husband & I visited Jaco in 2002 & stayed at this resort. We originally were going to stay there for one night, but ended up staying for an entire week! We loved the fact that we could jump in the pool about 2 steps from our room door, and it was a 1 minute walk to the beach. We were there during non-tourist season, so there were few other guests staying there & we got personal attention, which was incredible for only paying about $40.00 American dollars a night! All of the employees, from the front desk to the bartenders, the maids & the guards, were pleasant & made our stay quite comfortable. I felt very safe staying there. I would recomend Fiesta to anyone venturing to Jaco without a second thought!

Apartotel Flamboyant

My family just returned from a trip to Costa Rica. There are six of us, and we needed a large room. The Flamboyant has a two bedroom apartment, with kitchen, which we found to be clean and comfortable.

Best Western Jaco Beach Resort

We went to Costa Rica to explore and relax. My boyfriend, his brother and I visited Costa Rica. The hotel was clean, staff was really friendly and accomidating. We really enjoyed interacting with Moses. The staff spoke english and were always eager to assist us with whatever we needed. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is always cleaning the grounds. Andrienne at the Grey Tour desk located in the lobby of the hotel was wonderful. WE booked 5 tours and enjoy all of them very much. The breakfast in the dining room was impressive. I opted for a homemade omlet and a fresh yogurt and fruit drink everyday. The selection of food

Hotel Villa Lapas

We stayed at the Villa Lapas for two nights in July, 2005. This is a lovely hotel, with its adobe architecture and beautiful grounds. The highlight, for us, was searching out the frogs and toads that emerged by the multitudes at sunset. Our children enjoyed the swimming pool, and the pool table and foosball tables were big hits as well. The food was very good, but our enthusiasm was dampened a bit at breakfast time by swarms of insects (termites?). The dinner buffet was across the river, with no insect problems. The artisan shops had slightly higher prices than we saw elsewhere, but this was probably balanced by the large variety of goods, much better than anywhere else we visited! We enjoyed hearing the howler monkeys at dawn, seeing an anteater in the forest one morning in the forest near the hotel, and spotting the Scarlet Macaws traveling between the forest and coast at dawn and sunset. The rooms were comfortable with inviting benches overlooking the grounds. We skipped the A/C and opened the windows to hear the forest sounds at night. We would love to stay here again one day.

Tangeri Hotel

We needed a place to stay in Jaco just for one night. This certainly did the trick. Jaco is getting "built up" as I write this so I am glad we got to see it before it is strung with high rise after high rise. The grounds are lovely, the pool(s) are very nice. We stayed in #201 - beachfront, second floor. The balcony view was out to the ocean, sunset and all (which speaks for itself). The beach there is big (perfect for a long stroll) and still pleasantly uncrowded. The hotel offered decent value at $130 for the night including breakfast and taxes. The room was clean, AC worked well. My one suggestion would be to offer towels at the pool.

Hotel Amapola

The hotel is about 3 blocks from the beach, they offer an all inclusive option, wich I didn't take, the breakfast is very good, the rooms are cozy, the swiming pool is very nice and the restaurant is very good.

Cabinas Alice

Es un complejo de cabinas que combina la gran tranquilidad con una inmejorable ubicación como lo es estar a la par de la playa. Cabinas perfectamente equipadas con television por cable, baño privado con agua caliente y lo mejor, un aire acondicionado que no es de los tipicos de ventana, que a mi criterio brinda la gran ventaja que uno puede dortmir muy tranquilo en un ambiente muy fresco y sin ningun ruido ya que es muy silencioso. Un parqueo muy seguro ya que los autos quedan dentro la propiedad, protegida por un porton en las noches, una piscina muy fresca, amplia y aseada y en general unas instalaciones en perfecto estado. Pero lo que más agrada es el gran ambiente humano que nota uno al tener la atención cordial y personalizada de tan agradables persona como Doña Alice, esposo e hijos quienes son los propietarios del lugar. Sin duda ha sido mi destino fijo con mi familia por los ultimos tres años y asi seguira siendo mientras Dios nos lo permita.

Los Suenos Marriot Ocean Hotel

First disclaimer- I used Marriott points to stay here for 7 days which I greatly appreciate but I tried to write this from the perspective of someone who paid for a room.

Vista Guapa Surf Camp

Looking for a surf experience in Costa Rica, I chose Vista Guapa based on the great reviews on Trip Advisor (TA is always right).

Just about everything I read was correct. The view, the immaculate facilities, the food, and most importantly the incredible people are what make Vista Guapa #1. One thing I'd like to add concerning the instructors...Not only are they excellent at helping you improve your surfing, they are also the best surfers on the beach. I enjoyed watching how each time they took off, all the other surf instructors (and most of the other surfers) turned to watch them do their stuff. It's nice being taught by the best. Muchas gracias por todo. I will be back, and I'm bringing mi gente!!

Punta Leona Hotel

nice place , I go there every year, very calm, and lots of nature

Doce Lunas Hotel, Restaurant & Spa

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Doce Lunas. We'd only planned to stay the first couple of days. But after bannana pancakes eggs, sausage, mango/orange juice and coffee to die for....served to us "IN BED", we agreed there was really no reason to leave this secluded paradise. The first thing that brought a smile to our face was the fact that at Doce Lunas you can drink the water directly from the tap. They boast the best water in Costa Rica. 

Hotel Paraiso del Sol

We've stayed at Hotel Paraiso del Sol four times for a total of two months. Each stay was excellent thanks to Matt and his staff.

Suenos del Paraiso Hotel

Syd who is one of the proprieters together with the girls who work there contributed to the family atmosphere,really made me feel at home and were able to help out whenever called upon.

Hotel Casino El Cocal

We stayed at the hotel cocal y casino for two weeks. The room, dining, pool, beach and great location in relation to the town was absolutely perfect. I think I most looked forward to our complimentary breakfast every morning with the best coffee in the world. We rented a car from a nearby travel agency, but we barely ended up using it because we loved surfing and sun bathing. Highly recommend!!

La Dolce Vita

I am Franco from Naples in Italy. I spent one week at La Dolce Vita and am back at home since two weeks. I want to write this report to let everybody know how nice is Esterillos Oeste, as well this hotel that is a special place. La Dolce Vita is managed by very nice and friendly Italian people, that make their best to let you feel at home and enjoy every minute of your vacation. The hotel is surounded by palms and other trees and from a garden full of flowers and plants that make you relax and feel well. The beach is just steps away from the rooms that are confortable and provided of any comfort, such as a good bed, fridge, kitchen (if you need..I don't) air conditioning, hot water, shower and a nice terrace where to get your breakfast. sit, chat or read. I had also a Satellite Tv for the nghts when you did not want to go to Jaco to live night-life.

Hotel Playa Bejuco

I visited hotel Playa Bejuco last September with my family. Playa Bejuco is one of our best choices and one of the best hotels where we stayed. The service is great and the restaurant is really beautiful with a good international menu and the food was very, very good we loved it. The rooms were clean, the bathroom was very nice the showers were very good with hot water and all the rooms have air-conditioning. The kids loved the beautiful big pool. The beach is also very beautiful and not even one minute walk from the hotel. The breakfast was very good to. We stayed in Playa Bejuco for 3 nights and the second day we saw monkeys and big beautiful parrots.The next time if we visited Costa Rica we are going back to Hotel Playa Bejuco.

Copacabana Hotel & Suites

I have been staying at the Copa every time I visit Costa Rica, which now has been about 10 times over the past 2 years. I love the Copa, its staff, food, entertainment and definitely its location. I love hearing the music in the morning till night. The karaoke nights are awesome along with the live music. The renovations to the hotel are great especially the pool. The rooms are adequate and the prices, reasonable! I have become like family to the staff including the watchdogs, Scruffy and Sally. I always overstay my visit as the Copa is addictive because its so great! Thanks to all the staff, Fernando, Pablito, Edgar, Vivianna, Raquel, Ginger (the best karaoke singer, ever!) and of course the cook Norma and a special shout out to Keki. I can't forget Luis and Katia for their hospitality as well as Vivecca, Ronald and Myrna for their welcomes and Santiago for watching out for me at night! Gracias a todos, los quiero mucho!!!!!!!! Thanks guys, Pura Vida from la chica de Canada, ya sabes, besos y abrazos fuertes!!!!
