📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Barrio Los Faroles, Jaco
★★★★★ 8.7 (101 reviews)

"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

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort

📍 Playa Jaco, Punta Arenas, Jaco
★★★★ 8.8 (26 reviews)

"The new hotel was recently built at the site of the photos of the old motel that are still on this website. The new owner kept the name as a tribute to the local woman that opened the original restaurant in the 1960s. The new hotel is very modern and very clean. The rooms are very well designed, and every room has a balcony overlooking the beach and the ocean. Each night you will see sunsets that are unmatched. I stayed here with my wife, teenage son, and my son's friend. Everyone loved it. The food is unbelievably good and well thought out. We ate at both the restaurant downstairs and the sushi restaurant upstairs. I never thought I would be raving about a sushi restaurant in Costa Rica, but it was some of the best sushi we have ever tried. The hotel staff are very kind and attentive. The only noise was the welcomed sound of the ocean waves when we opened the door to the balcony. The gym is well-equipped and large and there is plenty of room for swimming in the pools, which both face the beach and the ocean. We ate most of our meals at the hotel because the food was so good and well-priced. If you are looking for a memorable vacation with ample relaxation, amenities, and access to Costa Rica's world-famous excursions, book a stay at this hotel now!"

Hotel Los Ranchos

Hotel Los Ranchos

📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Jaco
★★ 8.8 (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 (70 reviews)

"The service. The facilities are good but need a bit more maintenance."

Best Western Jaco Beach All Inclusive Resort ★★★
"Simple hotel, all-inclusive (meals, drinks, and snacks). The meals weren't very good, although there was a reasonable variety. The drinks, however, are excellent. Very good drinks, made with well-known brands. The staff are very helpful and polite. The beach is the one in the photo."

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort ★★★★
"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."

"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"

Casajungla Hostel ★★
"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!!"
