We arrived early and were able to check-in. The room was very clean, A/C, worked great. The pool was clean. For the average person, it's walkable to the main street and restaurants. They were doing some maintenence on the roof of a unit nearby, but noise wasn't bad. Quiet overall. The kitchenette was actually very well stocked, better than most AirBnbs. I recommend. Jaco is touristy, but also has everything a tourist might want.

The place is a dump. Towels were anicient no wash cloths. Animals jumping on roof all night. Walls were paper thin I could hear the guy snoring,choking and coughing. The mattress was awful. Didnt feel safe there. Other than that its a great place.

Typical Coastal Costa Rica property. The A/C was nice change, however, I woke up the next morning with a sore throat that rapidly became a cold/cough. Not the property's issue, only a reminder for visitors. It was quiet, but it was also rainy season (first week of August). It was conveniently located close to bus stops and not too far from the beach. Typical Jaco vibe.

The hotel was generally fine. Good AC, good Wi-Fi. We had been there many times before. On this visit, the pool wasn't very clean. It was rather murky.

Okay value for money (I.e., inexpensive, comparatively) but basic. The bed and pillows were super hard and the location is a bit off the path. The pool could use cleaning.

Earlier reviews were right on. This is a Costa Rican family, small hotel and I loved it. The staff is awesome, very helpful when I needed it most. The pool is really decent. I used it as an evening wind-down. If you are looking for amenities, this is not your hotel. The air conditioning is barely enough sleeping with only a sheet but I did sleep well. The bathroom has no A/C. It is wonderful for what it is and I hope I get to stay there again soon. Thanks to all the staff there.
