“Is ok - but . . .”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 12, 2012

So this was not a bad place. but. . . My son and I selected it thinking that it would be the highlight of our trip. The only real drawback is that the maid does not do much in the room. And like a previous review (which I noted that the hotel management did take exception to) we did have problems with ants in the room by the coffee pot. I did tell a lady and a gentleman at the reception that we had run out of coffee cups and water in the room and the maid was not replenishing them, nor was she wiping down the counter where the coffee pot was and we had ants there. We made certain even our little paper plates stayed in the refrigerator to keep the bugs off. The folks in the office did not seem to worried about it. So probably I would not return. It is on the beach but it is so rocky you need to walk down away from the hotel before you get to an area where the beach is clean.

“Don't do it.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 16, 2012

The hotel is on the beach. That's it's only attribute. The room was dirty when we arrived and filled with small black flies. The bed was so unbelievably uncomfortable I actually considered sleeping on the chairs near the bar instead. The staff wasn't particularly helpful. The breakfast was bland and small. There are too many other choices for places to stay in Jaco. Don't bother with Morgan's Cove unless you like being tortured on the rack at night!

Room Tip: Don't.

This is a very strange review, We have reviewed with all staff in management and Front desk to see if any complaints were made about insects or beds. End result NONE!. No Complaints about the cleanness of rooms either made to house keeping department or personal. All the Beds in Morgan´s Cove are of standard Hotel Issue mattress type and we cannot understand any problems or this review.

“Come for the restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 14, 2012 via mobile

I visited Jacob and stopped here on a whim. The hotel is away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown Jaco, but is walking distance. It right on the beach and the restaurant is open air where you have a view of the beach and the adjoining lagoon.

The food was outstanding! I had the Saturday night special surf and turf. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare (moat Costa Rican restaurants overcook their beef in my experience). The carribean lobster was grilled to perfection...yes carribean lobster from the other coast of Costa Rica.

My complements to the staff, especially Jose for attentive and friendly service.

At least eat here even if you don't stay here.

“Great staff, nice, attentive but not overbearing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 5, 2012

We arrived with no reservation just to see the price. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. We ended up staying for 2 nights. The beach is rocky in front of the hotel (much like most of the beach in jacó), but still beautiful. The pool areas of the hotel are ample and nice. It is obvious that the hotel has been around for a bit, but the rooms are fairly ample and more than sufficient. The food is a bit pricey (as is the norm for Jacó) but well prepared and high quality. Overall, the hotel was more than adequate, but the staff was great! I would return.
