The staff at the welcome desk were very friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful and right off the beach where you can walk along the water to find a good meal or drink to watch the surfers. The rooms are well maintained and the ocean waves are heard from the rooms.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The room, swimming pool and grounds were clean and well maintained. The front desk employees were fantastic and went above and beyond to provide any assistance needed. They offered up dining recommendations and helped book tours. The location is walking distance to multiple good restaurants and you can walk the beach to get to some of them. The beach was a short distance from the rooms. The town of Jaco and supermarkets to buy groceries were a short drive. Two things we would have appreciated; less ants outside and inside and a microwave. Aside from that we had a wonderful stay!!!
