There are no signs with the hotel name. Unless someone points at it you don’t know where it is. I had an argument with some drunk over the parking space. Water barely flowing in the shower. The entire town of Jaco is not neat

Perfect for a calm beach trip… right in front of the beach, pool included! Breakfast on site!
We saw iguanas, aras and other birds around
But in the weekend be fast for chair and umbrella! No problems at all the week days!

No hot water in bathroom. The resort moved us to another room only to have the issue unresolved. This resulted in a poor experience.
