“Fantastic - As Always”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2012

Thanks Tim and Team for another fantastic stay at your hotel in Jaco! As always, everything went smoothly. The restaurant was perfect and the staff wonderful. To be in the middle of the action in Jaco while only a few yards from the beach, Hotel Poseidon is the place to be.

We will see you again next year.

“Tennessee Hospitality in Costa Rica”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 23, 2012

Simple rooms that serve the purpose. The food is fantastic - catch your own fish and these ladies add a blend of Asian and Latin American flare that will catch you off guard. Best grouper - EVER! Best meals of our trip. Go see Gabriella, Sulekha, and Celia in the kitchen/bar and Tanin Arguello at the desk if you need directions or help navigating Jaco Beach.

Room Tip: Take a premium room - a little more space if you plan to stay multiple nights. Also, be advised tha...

“Do not go there”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 18, 2012 via mobile

Thisbe place is a total dumb! First the rooms are so dirty we even found seemed on the covers! The free breakfast is a plate of fruits and half of a banana. Plus they don't even take the time to service you coofe f you tell them you want the complementary breakfast , the wether point to the coofe pot and said serve your self. We add one night dinner it was ok, but $$$$ for wat it was.

“My worst nightmare come true”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 17, 2012

Where could I possibly begin? Would it be the dingy dirty rooms, the stains of bodily fluids on the bedspread, the disgusting bathrooms, or the bar next door blasting music from 11:30am to the early hours on a Monday night. Run, don't walk away from this place. It has been a stain on my whole month in costa Rica. Excuse the pun...

“Good Amenities, Awful Room Conditions”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 15, 2012

I want to start out with the positives. The hotel is in an excellent location. It's in the heart of the city and half a block away from the ocean, making it easy to walk wherever you want to get within Jaco. It also offers free wifi, has mini-fridges, and has a pretty good continental breakfast (excellent fresh fruit and bread!).

However, I have NO IDEA how so many people rated this hotel so highly. I have NEVER stayed in a hotel this nasty! And I've stayed in some pretty shady hostels in my day... The walls were disgustingly grimy, the bathroom had stains all around it, and I refused to use their comforter or walk on the floor barefoot. The pool was not only run down, but had cat feces sitting near the edge for a whole day. For the money we spent, I'd expect much cleaner facilities. I could have stayed at a hostel for better.

Room Tip: If all the rooms were like ours, good luck.
