The room was great & loved the pool. I got there at noon but check in wasn't until 3pm. Had lunch nearby at Koko & then went to the beach. The office stored my carry-on during that time.
The directions to find the hotel weren't very clear. << There is a shopping center called Galeone. In front of that shopping center there is a gravel entrance. Outside there is a sign for the hotel. >> The sign for Galeone was on the 2nd floor & it was just a building on the other side of the street! The hotel is on a dirt/gravel road off of the main shopping street across from Galeone..

This hotel doesn’t look like much from the outside. But, the rooms were wonderful! They were so comfortable and clean and had a cute little kitchenette. They were up-to-date and had a really nice bathroom. They also had the cutest little porch with a ceiling fan to sit on. The pool was outstanding, the location was great as well. It was a half a block to the beach and half a block to shops and restaurants. This part of town is a little dicey, but the hotel has a locked gate and gives you keys to the gate and to the beach.i highly recommend this place. I felt very safe as a woman traveling alone. Everyone was welcoming and accommodating. They let me park my car within the gate the day I was leaving so that I could go on an excursion.

The little apartment is cosy and well-equipped, especially the dining space and kitchen. The hotel is placed on a small private road in front of the beach, which keeps the place private and quiet. There is a large private parking. The caretaker Luis is a very kind person. He welcomed us during our check-in and helped us to get comfortable with the place. He is attentive to the customer's needs. The cleaning service is excellent and impeccable. A large and beautiful tropical green garden with colourful birds and funny lizards surrounded the entire apartment. It feels like being in a jungle. The hotel had a large swimming pool in the centre of the garden, which made our stay relaxing and enchanting, especially at sunset. We enjoyed it a lot. The hotel also has a very nice outdoor kitchen that we used a few evenings to enjoy dinner outdoors surrounded by nature. The place was located near the main road. This allowed us to reach grocery stores and restaurants quickly and easily. We recommend this place.

What a lovely little oasis, just a minute or twos walk from the town centre. The room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and really nice bed linen. The grounds were colourful and well looked after and the pool was big enough to do a little swimming. We were greeted warmly and the car was left in the secure parking zone for the duration of our stay. The gorgeous beach was a couple of minutes walk away and it was such a pleasure to head there and watch the fab sunsets.
If I were being really picky, I'd say there were a couple of cracked tiles in the bathroom and the merest whiff of drains. It certainly wouldn't put us off staying again and we'd recommend it to others.

Excellent location even though it looked like a back alley it turned out to be a safe location: just steps away from the beach as well as walking distance to grocery stores & restaurants. It was like an oasis with beautiful gardens & a beautiful good size well kept pool. We liked the secured car park area. The room with kitchenette was spacious & clean with a front porch to enjoy sitting outside to watch the birds & iguanas. Would stay here again.
There was nothing we did not like. Although it didn’t effect us, not having 24 hour front desk service could be an issue for some.

I have stayed at the hotel a couple times and will return. Staff is kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. They have comfortable beds, big TVs, A/C, Wifi, and little kitchens. Kitchen has a fridge, microwave, two burners, plates and silverware. The pool is well maintained, and there are plenty of chairs. I really like the layout of the place, it feels remote even though you are steps from the strip.
No complaints.

Great location, right in the centre & steps away from beach. Safe & secure, locked gates around property. Very nice apartment, spacious & very clean, good wifi.
The receptionist could not speak English & didn’t know how to change reservations, it had to be done by booking.com. They need to know how to change date or upgrade rooms themselves at the property.

Very secluded and quiet for being so close to the main street and center of town. Very very clean and well cared for rooms. Not a “luxury” hotel but excellent for the mid-range price. Lovely trees, nice patios for sitting and enjoying outside.
Hard to find, on a little street that’s more of a dirt alley. That part of Jaco can be a little sketchy at night on the weekends. Not directly on the beach but just a few yards with locked access/gate.

The hotel is near from restaurant, bar and grocery stores. The room was tidy and clean. They have privat access to the beach. Wifi was very good as well.
Basically nothing. But a suggestion for kitchen equipment such as kitchen towel and dish rack would be helpful after we washed the dishes.
