“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

I arrived in Costa Rica not really knowing where I was going or what was to be done/seen. The only thing I had was my week reservation at the hôtel. I was supposer to stay there for a week but I ended up staying for three weeks because the hôtel was very cleań, very Nice rooms, with all the confort needed, a pool, etc.
Céline and Mike have been very kind to me all the time, showing me all the things to do, where to eat, where to go out, best walks to have a very Nice view of Jaco, best waves.
I then left for a two weeks tour around Costa Rica and they helped me planning it and guiding me.

It really is a nice place to stay in Jaco, calm, confort, security (which was very important to me),big rooms with everything needed, very nice team in the hotel and met loads of people there! It was a very good choice!

“Great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

I was supposed to stay at the Perico Azul for three nights and ended up staying for three weeks. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the same goes for the common areas. Its just a 5 minute walk to the beach where their in-house surf school has a set up where you can rent boards, get lessons or just hang out. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the hotel has a very open and friendly vibe. Mike and Celine who run the place are really great and will help you with any questions you might have!

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

I just came back from Jaco a few days ago. This hotel is neat, simple and clean, it has a kitchen with a good stove and fridge. Owners and employees are really nice and so is the pool. I definitely will came back if they have space next time!

“Best hotel in Jacó, Costa Rica”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

Me and my girlfriend were supposed to stay at Hotel Perico Azul for 3 nights, we ended up staying there for 2 weeks.

The environment is perfect. It is calm and relaxed and you get to meet a lot of nice people that are travelling. The rooms are clean and nice and you can decide by yourself if you want to have a small kitchen in them or not. Outside the rooms, you have a small area with a pool and a sofa where you can hang out during the days when you're not at the beach, which is great. They also have a big kitchen that you can use that is fully equiped.

Perico Azul is located 3 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the Jacó town, which is great because you don't hear the noise from the bars at night but you still don't have to take a cab.

They also have a surf school at the hotel, called Tortuga Surf School. I surfed with the school almost everyday, which was one of the best experiences of my life, The school can honestly teach anyone how to surf, it doesn't matter how old you are or in what phisical condition you're in. You can have classes with them or only rent boards. If you want to learn how to surf or improve your surfing skills I strongly recomend the Tortuga Surf school.

Last I just want to say that the staff at Hotel Perico Azul/Tortuga Surf is awesome. There are mainly 3 people working there: Celine, Mike and Doggy. They helped us out with everything and they're wonderful people with big hearts.

If anyone is going to Jacó, Costa Rica you HAVE to stay at the Perico Azul and try out the surf school because it's the best!

“Good choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

I think it is one of the best hotels in Central America - familiar, comfortable and with relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are a bit small but it is definitely worth to stay there. The owners are extremely polite and helpful.
