“Acceptable hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

This hotel is pretty basic but decent value for the price. There are no frills except the pleasant pool area and good air conditioning. However, the staff are very pleasant and made us feel very comfortable. The location is within walking distance of the town and beach but it is probably better to take a cab after dark. We would stay here again even though it was a bit of a letdown at first sight.

“Beautifull place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Beautifull and clean place that makes you feel like you are on a special holiday!!.the deco is amazing and you are not exposed to any of the central american night life....which means family and belongings are safe. i was over there a few years ago and finally decided to write a review when i saw some unjustified comments about the place and very charming owners, do not hesitate and try!!!

“All you need is here”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 25, 2012

We spend the last two days in this hotel as we wanted to experience Jaco a bit. So, garden is nice with a lot flowers, pool is cool, deco is attractive, it is close to everything, it is quiet, bed is soft, towels are folded nicely with flowers, birds are all around, breakfast is adaquate, ... Owner is French. Although he is not talkative, you get services as you want. And you get privacy. He helped me get an adapter. We appreciate that.

We were able to discover Jaco. We tried surfing and horse riding near.

We quite like here.

Room Tip: Rooms close to pool are nice.

“I recommend it without any hesitation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2012

I spent recently a couple of weeks in this hotel and I really appreciated it.
5 minutes walk from the center.
Rooms are sober, but perfectly clean with tv, aircon and wifi in mine.
The swimming pool is the must of this hotel, surrounded by a large variety of palm trees.
The owner and the staff were really nice and helpful.
The breakfast is fresh and good
I understand why this hotel has a lot of local families coming, because is really a relaxing place with a beautiful garden surrounding a delightful swimming pool. I doubt you could get much better in Jaco for the same price.

“Nice Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2012

Nice art deco hotel, but quite far walking distance from the Jaco main beach. Quiet hotel, normal sized refreshing pool, area to rest and use wi-fi internet outside the rooms, breakfast was normal. Secured place to park the car. Nice carved wooden door at the breakfast area for the main desk offices. Some restaurants around are OK, but a little far distance from the main attractions.
