📍 2km Este Cruce de Herradura, 1 km Norte, Pueblo Nuevo, Jaco
★★★★ 9.1 (104 reviews)

Hotel Los Ranchos

Hotel Los Ranchos

📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Jaco
★★ 8.9 (101 reviews)

"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."

Amapola Resort

Amapola Resort

📍 J96H+7WC Amapola Costa Rica Jaco beach, Av. Amapola, Jaco
★★★ 8.0 (71 reviews)

"Very friendly, qualified and helpful staff. The pool was very nice and open very flexible hours. There are two types of breakfast, American and local. The hotel has gardens and squirrels run around. The room is spacious, the bathroom could have more water pressure and a little hot"

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort

📍 Playa Jaco, Punta Arenas, Jaco
★★★★ 8.9 (29 reviews)

"We went deep sea fishing earlier in the day and brought our fish to Clarita's to include with our meal. We were offered to cook all our fish, served with rice, beans and plantain. The cost was $20.00 each for the three of us. The price seemed high, but we were hungry and the beach atmosphere at sunset was wonderful. Our meal came rapidly, and the service was efficient and friendly. Unfortunately, they kept half of our fish and substituted a cheaper, deep-fried, boney fish (Pargo) for our beautifully prepared, bone and skin-free, grouper fillets. When I complained that they did not serve our fish to us, I got the "I'm caught but will pretend I don't understand" look. I kick myself for not being able to adequately converse in Spanish. In short, I suggest going somewhere else if you have your own fish to prepare. Additionally, if honesty is important to you, I would avoid this business. There are numerous other restaurants that more deserve your tourist dollars."

Casajungla Hostel

Casajungla Hostel

📍 Avenida Pastor Dias, 50 meters south of the Hotel Kangaroo, Jaco
★★ 8.8 (7 reviews)

"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!!"

Hotel Cabinas Jacomar Hotels in Jaco

Hotel Cabinas Jacomar

"Cabinas Jacomar is a budget-friendly place located right in the heart of Jacó, just a short walk from the beach. The rooms are basic but clean, offering essentials like air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The staff are friendly and helpful, making guests feel welcome. Its central location is convenient for exploring Jacó’s shops, restaurants, and nightlife. However, due to this, noise can be an issue, especially for light sleepers. Some rooms may have limited amenities such as inconsistent hot water. Overall, Cabinas Jacomar is a practical choice for travelers who want affordable, no-frills accommodation close to the beach and town center."

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."

Room2Board Hostel and Surf School Hotels in Jaco

Room2Board Hostel and Surf School

"Had a perfect stay So much attention to detail here to ensure that you have the best possible stay. So comfortable, recommend for long term stays as well. This has to be one of the best places to stay in Jacó, I feel lucky to have found it - forever obliged!"

"The service at this hotel was very good, and the food was okay. The main issue was the room. The curtains had holes, and the walls were so thin you could hear absolutely everything, even just people opening their luggage in other rooms. The shower was in the bathtub, and the water would just pool up while we were showering. The room just wasn't comfortable :("

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort ★★★★
"As far as the resort goes, this place is beautiful. It’s a brand new build in the area so it was a nice day. However, upon arrival, we didn’t have a reservation booked because we booked through American Express and used our points. The front desk did say that they didn’t know how to send that through so they just never made the reservation. The front desk did say he was able to put us in still, and then proceeded to charge us again for the stay instead of going through American Express and handling the reservation. We had confirmation of the reservation through American Express. This hotel does not have any form of communication communications that they respond to. Emails they don’t respond to and their phone numbers either don’t work or they don’t answer them. The entire time we were in the hotel everything was under construction. So there was allowed jackhammering going on in the stairwell so loud that we couldn’t even relax in our room at any point of the day. The elevator was out of service due to heavy rain so they had to move our room. When they did move our room, our king-size bed was missing a leg so it was uneven."
