“Good for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

We booked at a very cheap price 1520 for the two of us so I was not expecting too much. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. It is a very small resort. The rooms were clean but older.We were quite satisfied with the rooms. Ours was right by the pool and we liked that. The food was quite good but because it is small the variety is not that great. The staff were very friendly and did their best to make you happy. I wished they would have served coffee before 7 but they did not and also there are not alot of snacks in between. The resort is right on the beach which is nice but they need more chairs. It is very hot in that area so if you like it warm that is the place to go. You can walk into the town which is safe and that is great. anyone wanting to know more email me at scarnold@rogers.com and I will be happy to give you any info that would help you out.

“A Great Place To Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Morgan's Cove Resort & Casino is a great choice for your vacation in Jaco. It truly is a solid 3 star resort and will be a 4 star as they continue to do their upgrades.

As other Trip Adviser contributors suggested... An upgrade to Beach Front Rooms makes the stay even better ... the modest upgrade cost is well worth it .... Email Shannon prior to your vacation to make arrangements.

The scenery & view in and around the resort is wonderful ..... seeing the Scarlet Macaws most days as they flew from tree to tree looking for food is a memory I will always enjoy !!

The closeness of the resort to Jaco is great!! ... just a short walk or quick taxi ride & your there. The town offers lots of souvenir shops, restaurants and a great bakery

The excursion representatives on site are great or book thru Jackie (Nolitour Rep) and enjoy all the wonderful sites of Costa Rica !! ...

I am sure you will be pleased with Morgans Cove Resort & Casino as long as you keep in mind it is not a 5* RIU ...

R&J

Room Tip: Beach Front Rooms a must

“Value for the money, on the beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

We chose Morgan's Cove for its location on the beach and its price, far cheaper than similarly sited hotels in Jaco. But before we move on: You must stay in the beachfront rooms. They're a bit more expensive than the cheapest rooms in the high-rise but there is NO COMPARISON. We stayed in one of those rooms for 1 night, it was awful. We moved to the beachfront, it was heaven (and not THAT much more $). Our room was lovely, bed was comfy. The breakfast that was included was excellent. The pools are wonderful. And, not to exhaust this topic, the location allowed for sea-gazing whenever we wanted. We had one issue during our stay and when we talked to the manager (and definitely talk to him if the clerks cannot help you out), everything was promptly made right. We would definitely return.

“Chilling out at the Cove.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

My wife and myself just got back from a well deserved holiday at the Morgans Cove Resort and Casino. We had a great time there with all the friendly staff at the resort. We upgraded to the ocean view area with the help of Shannon who was very friendly and informative for area interests. You could watch the waves crashing on the beach then turn around and see the mountains behind you.We had daily visits from the Toucans and Scarlet Macias. The owner and manager were very friendly and would not hesitate to stop and talk to you. The food was good and the drinks were great. We recommend Manuel Antonio Park to see the monkeys,sloths,raccoons,birds, crabs and have a nice swim at the beach. Tortuga Island is another great destination to check out. From the resort it is about a 10 minute walk in to Jaco or a $2 taxi ride, there are many shops to interest everyone. The sunsets are breath taking from Black Beards Restaurant on the resort. We felt very safe there any never had any problems. Check it out you will enjoy this destination. R&M T.

Room Tip: Try to upgrade to the Ocean View area.
