Great location in Paradise

Jaco Bay condos are the perfect place to stay in Jaco. The setting is gorgeous yet close enough to walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and more… pool noodles, beach towels, chairs for the beach, plus a terrific water filter system so we didn’t feel the need to buy bottled water. We’d definitely stay here again.

Fun spring break 2025

We enjoyed this unit and had a lot of fun using the pool and relaxing on the beach. Beds were super comfy , shower water was hot which was great every night. Had plenty of space and everything that needed was already there. We are going to re book as soon as I find out our kids spring schedule soon!
