“We'll return!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

It was a last minute trip, we weren't sure what to expect but were blown away. The staff, the rooms, the beach, the entire experience was incredible!! We're already planning a return trip for next year!

“Morgan's Cove Playa Jaco”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

This resort is under rated. Great value for the dollar, decent food, great staff. Owners are on site and are very concerned that the guests have a great experience. Thanks Jim, you are great!! Even the Iguanas are friendly!! Easy walk into town and great access to the beach. I'm going back as soon as I can...................................................

“Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

We have stayed a number of times over the last few years and have always found the staff friendly and helpfull. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The food was great. People have to understand that running a hotel can be difficult, expecially when it is going through a transition, so there can sometimes be some problems. We have found that if we had a problem it was always addressed. As far as certain smells, first of all you have to understand that most people on the river upstream dump their grey water( sewer) into it, so sometimes you get a bit of a smell from it. This is common all over Costa Rica, so sometimes people have to realize it is not all like home. The walk to downtown is only 10 minutes, I guess for some people thats long. A cab is only a couple of bucks if you cannot walk.

Room Tip: room #6 seemed good, by the pool and facing the ocean

“A place to relax & have fun”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

I went their this past March St. Patty's Day and I had a good time. It was not like some of the places I have been in but the atmosphere was nice, clean and good food. We had a room on ground floor in front of the pool with pool bar it was great! Hardly any body on grounds during the day (out on tours) so we had the pool to a few of us that just wanted to take in the sun and relax. We met some of the other guests and went to town a couple times. Friendly in town, short walk or $2 cab ride. They have a cassino on site and a great bar their with some great people very friendly and the owner gave a few tips and what to check out. It could have used some dance or entertainment on grounds. We took the side trip to Tortuga Island (owner's recommation) and OMG! it was beautifull there and the boat over was great we seen a sea turtle, dolphins and a whale! We were very lucky that day great weather! We went zip lining too and that was a blast. I would go again.

Room Tip: Ground floor pool view

“More than I expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

I stayed for 2 nights at Morgan's Cove. Jaco was very busy for some reason and it was one of the few places I could find a room.

Positives:

Air conditioning in the room worked excellent
Staff was extremely friendly especially in the restaurants, front desk and casino
Rooms were better than expected from reading these comments
Pool area was decent
Hot Water no issues and housekeeping was there every day

Negatives

Beach area was not that clean
A bit of a walk to the main area of Jaco with restaurants and bars

All in all Morgan's was a good option for my short visit to Jaco. I would have no problem staying here again. Probably would choose someplace in the center of the main strip, but for those looking for a little value, this place is well priced.

I will say it again, the staff was very friendly. I am learning Spanish and they were very helpful in pointing out some flaws and keeping me entertained as the hotel was a little quiet.

Room Tip: Poolside rooms are good.
