Best Western Jaco Beach All Inclusive Resort
8.5 (106 reviews)

Best Western Jaco Beach All Inclusive Resort ★★★

📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Puntarenas Province, Jaco

"We really loved this hotel on the Pacific Ocean. The restaurant has delicious and varied food, and the pool bar has great burgers! We went on an excursion to the national park, but didn't see any animals. Unlike at the hotel, we saw lots of iguanas, huge, colorful parrots, squirrels, and coatis! The sunsets were magical! And every day on the beach, you can watch baby turtles being released into the ocean! The rooms are a bit dated, but it didn't detract from our stay."

Club Ibiza - Party Hotel & Beach Club

Club Ibiza - Party Hotel & Beach Club ★★

📍 C. Bohío, Provincia de, Jaco

Crocs Resort & Casino
8.7 (98 reviews)

Crocs Resort & Casino ★★★★★

📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Barrio Los Faroles, Jaco

"It’s a good hotel but definitely not for the price that I was charged. I spent 2 nights there for almost ¥4,000, which is the price of, say, the St Regis in such expensive cities as Shenzhen or Hong Kong… The garden and swimming pool area of the hotel are truly nice but the rooms… I wouldn’t pay more than ¥200 a night… Mediocre."

Hotel Mar de Luz
8.5 (69 reviews)

Hotel Mar de Luz ★★

📍 Garabito, Av. Pastor Díaz, Jaco

Hotel Los Ranchos
8.9 (101 reviews)

Hotel Los Ranchos ★★

📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Jaco

"Jaco really isn’t for families anymore. The hotel shows a picture that it is next to an empty plot: Well that is a 20 story building now. Some AC units are too old, making very loud vibrations. We had 2 cockroaches in the room despite closed windows. If you need to be in Jaco, check out the hotel on the other side of the creek. If you have a choice, drive a couple more kilometres to a nicer village."

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort
8.8 (32 reviews)

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort ★★★★

📍 Playa Jaco, Punta Arenas, Jaco

"Brand new building, same great view and service. Your favorite staff are still serving and the food is a smart combination of Costa Rican (order the ceviche with plantain and yuca chips) and international fare (quesadillas and burgers). Have the date night dinner in the hotel restaurant or a sunset dinner on the beach."

Hotel South Beach
8.2 (105 reviews)

Hotel South Beach ★★★

📍 C. Pedro Mora, Jaco

"The hotel has seen better days. The first room, booked with a garden view, was awful. The view was directly onto a wall with water pipes and other cables. There was no light by the bed, and the only electrical outlets were in the bathroom. The walls were paper-thin. These are just a few issues; I could list more. After complaining, I received an upgrade to a room with a pool view. The room was significantly better. The food was tasty, but the selection was limited and basic. Breakfast consisted of a choice from the Tipico menu or fruit and pancakes, with no variation from day to day. Apart from one person at reception who was truly unpleasant, everyone else was very friendly and helpful."

Casajungla Hostel
8.9 (7 reviews)

Casajungla Hostel ★★

📍 Avenida Pastor Dias, 50 meters south of the Hotel Kangaroo, Jaco

"Excellent little hostel, spotlessly clean in a nice quiet part of town. The beach is beautiful just down the road and the staff were very nice too. I sadly forgot to take a picture of our lovely room but we had 3 pillows each, 3 towels, lots of plug sockets beautiful shower and a fully equipped kitchen, also spotlessly clean. It’s just a shame we could only stay one night!!"

Room2Board Hostel and Surf School

"To be honest I have been there since the beginng R2Bs is an experience to say the least The main staff Fanco, Noel and wonderful women who run the bar ( including the two sisters who can out cook every chef in New York) always make this place unlike any Hostel in the world! Especially when it is being run by a guy who had zero experience running hotels, hostels or restaurants this place is incredible!! Brian!!!! If you look at him you would never guess he would even want to run a place like this. But he does it with such flair that I can travel around the world never experience a hostel such as R2B!!!"

Hotel Pochote Grande Hotels in Jaco

Hotel Pochote Grande

"This is a small rustic hotel right on the beach at the north end of Jaco. It could definitely use some updating but we were here for some peace and quiet and that's what we found. The rooms are simple but very clean. The pool is spotless and has beautiful gardens surrounding that provide good shade. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We opted to have breakfast each day and were very happy with the options and quality of food. The coffee was delicious. There are a few restaurants within easy walking distance. We especially enjoyed Soda Raquel. The walk into town is about 15 minutes."

Ela Kosher Hotel and Synagogue Hotels in Jaco

Ela Kosher Hotel and Synagogue

"Our stay was a complete disappointment. We booked the hotel as Emma Hotel, however when we arrived, there was no sign with that name at the entrance — instead, it said Izus Place. This immediately raised concerns. The hotel was very dirty, with unacceptable hygiene standards. Breakfast was extremely poor and low quality. Despite being advertised as a 4-star hotel, in my opinion it does not even deserve 2 stars. I would not stay here again and definitely would not recommend it to anyone."

Oceano Boutique Hotel & Bistró ★★★★
"Breakfast is not a buffet. Choose Small Not good It's also a bit of a cheating component. There is no normal breakfast in these places. It seems to be really not easy to eat. It is very bad. Unfortunately. It's a little helpless to spend the devil's price on this bean shop You guys really have to think carefully."
