    The temperature of the water in the sink is always a mystery: might be hot, might be cold, you never know! Other than that, sometimes mosquitoes can come in through the gap underneath the door, but it can be fixed by putting a towel or something similar underneath.

    We loved the pool and the outside area in general, very well kept! And of course the staff, everyone was super helpful and welcoming. We also really appreciated the AC in the room as it does get very warm in the area and the fridge. The area is very quiet, which is super nice too. The breakfast was great.

    The hotel was perfect for us. The cleanliness was top notch. They were very thorough when cleaning the rooms out when guest left, the groundskeeper was there every morning cleaning the pool scrubbing the tiles raking up leaves. I just can’t say enough about how well they kept up with this property. The location was perfect Close enough to the nightlife where you could easily walk anywhere you wanted to but far enough where the property was nice and quiet. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious. 10 out of 10! Would happily stay here again when we come back to Jaco.

    Be aware it might be a bit noisy.

    Good location: although close to the beach and Jaco Walk, it was tucked away in a small street with a private parking. Friendly staff who helped us with booking a trip. Clean rooms.

    Better than the first impression. Not bad for the money

    The room smelled really bad when we arrived, like sewerage. We figured out the room hadn't been used in a while, the shower drain had dried up and sewer gas was flooding the room. We ran the shower and aired out the room. Problem solved but someone should have checked before we arrived as we almost bailed as soon as we got there.

    Comfortable bed, decent WIFI. Breakfast was very good. Cozy little setting one minute off the main drag where there was lots of action . Close to the beach. Could have been a little scary given the proximity to the main drag but security seemed strong and the parking lot gate was locked at night.

    Wonderful staff that made you feel like family and were so accommodating! Breakfast was excellent with fruit, pancakes and traditional Costa Rican fare. 24 hour coffee and tea available. There appear to be 16 two story units broken up into 4 buildings (4 units each) with a very clean pool in the middle. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with native plants. In fact, there were gardeners there every morning raking up loose leaves. The unit we had was spacious and well equipped. Located half a block from the beach and the main downtown street, so no need for a car (but there is adequate free parking onsite). The property is gated, so we felt very secure and safe. The only downside was some construction going on next door that started a bit early. But this is just a temporary situation and looks to be ending in the near future. While a little noisy, I certainly wouldn't let it deter you from staying here. We feel the staff is what really made this place feel special though!

Support with getting me taxis and helping me find memorable restaurants with spectacular ocean sunsets & fabulous fresh seafood was SO very much appreciated ~ Thank you!
