We stayed in the equipped 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment is in poor repair, the toilet did not flush and we had no hot water the first night. Cooking full meals would be very challenging here, as the only utensils provided were 2 large serving spoons. No spatula, tongs, etc. and only 1 pot and one pan. The pool by the apartments is decaying and half the furniture was so decrepit it was not useful. The main pools were nice, the common area was well maintained in the main building, and the staff were friendly and spoke English. It is only a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Breakfast at The Public House down the street was lovely albeit a little pricey by CR standards. In room massage was nice and hotel staff will help you book it.

This is a beautiful hotel with nice pools and surrounded by wonderful plants and trees. The rooms are big and include a fridge which is very important in this hot country. Jaco beach, reastaurants and bars are 3-5 minutes walk. I have enjoyed my stay a lot.

Great location, Good for family
The hotel is close to town, within walking distance from shopping and restaurants. It is in great location. The hotel is a three stars hotel but service is acceptable. Tgey have multiple pools and a good place for family. The tap water had a strong smell of sulfur so we just drink bottle water. When we arrived the hotel, there were only two bath towels, and one face towel. We had to call front desk for hand towels and an extra face towel.

Fantastic stay in Sept 23. Rooms are nice and having a kitchenette was a bonus. Hotel is located half a block away from the main busy street in Jaco. Very tranquil and yet close to everything. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great.
