Moldy Apartment
Hotel was ok a bit outdated but the mold in the apartment was all over the ceilings. Woke up with a sore throat. Pointed out to front desk and he just took pictures.

You get what you pay for
Plusses: Service was excellent. Pool was very nice. Breakfast was good. Location away from busy street was nice. Plenty of hot water for showering. Minuses: Room needs serious updating. One mattress was saggy. Bed quilts shouted 1970. Two of the nights we had swarm of flying bugs (termites) visit the inside of the room. Saw them climb behind moulding. Didn’t make for a restful night’s sleep.

The staff was really great, especially the front desk attendant. Maybe he was the manager. Just what I needed for an evening check-in and a quick stay
It was more of a hotel so I would not stay there again as a solo traveler

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.

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.
