“Great adventure vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2012

I have stayed at this property for three vacations and had a great experience each time. It is new, fresh, bright and very large (we stayed in the 2 and 3 bedroom units). The location is perfect, only a short walk/taxi to the heart of the town, and away from the hustle and bustle. They have guards front and back 24/7, so no worries about saftey. The sunsets should not be missed, as you have a completely unobstructed view each evening from your private balcony.
We've done a lot of adventures and all were amazing. 4-wheeling, horseback riding, zip-line, fishing, valcano, etc.

“Slice of Paradise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2012

Great view and still able to walk to town. 24hour security was great and the sunsets were beautiful. We stayed in unit 901 and the surroundings were clean, comfortable, and afforded wonderful views of the ocean, beaches, and mountains. Jaco is a wonderful town full of activity and great food.

Room Tip: unit 901 was great.

“Beautiful sunset”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2012

The condo was very nice and clean with a nice porch right outside to watch the sunset. I liked the location because of its proximity to town as well as the different tours we participated in. I also felt very safe bacause of the 24 hour security.

“best view in Jaco”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

The Palms has the absolute best view in Jaco. You can see the entire Jaco cove and can catch some amazing sunsets. The condos are right on the beach and great surf is less than 1/8 of a mile away. The Palms is close to town and all of the attractions. There is so much to do in Jaco - would definitely recommend the ATV tours through the jungle. Very memorable trip.

“Perfect combination of fun-filled vacation and relaxing escape!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2012

I have stayed at The Palms in Jaco once (unit 901) and am currently planning my next visit back to this wonderful place. It was such an amazing vacation! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something more than the predictable all-inclusive experience. It is on the north end of the beach, giving you what feels like private access to a great ocean-pool created by the tide. It is also very close to the best place to surf along the beach, with board rentals that are very affordable. You can spend your time relaxing, reading book after book without any interruption, walking the beach with over 3 miles to the other end, etc. Or, you can rent surfboards, zipline along the coast, and take many other adventure tours. And for the food, all restaurants or grocery stores are 10-15 minute walk away or a 4 minute cab ride. During our stay we choose to do a little of everything, which created the perfect week get-away!
