“Great little hidden treasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

Expat here on the first leg of my last trip back to the states. I had been told about this great little hotel located in a better part of Jaco here in Costa Rica. It is off the main beach road, but it is in walking distance to Jaco Beach. They have a great swimming pool. The rooms were well appointed and very clean. No street noise, just peace and quite. The staff spoke english and were very helpful to any needs. The room rates were very modest compaired to the hotels along the beach road.

Room Tip: They all face the pool, and not more the 15 steps from your door!

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

Loved this place, as soon as we get there ,we realized that it was way beyond our expectations! We Stayed here two nights while visiting some friends in Jaco. The apartment is beautiful, The place is very clean, cozy, well furnished, with a full kitchen, the bedrooms equiped with LCD's TVs and powerfull A/Cs units,etc... has a beautifull garden around the pool area. The reception and staff were super friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Jaco, and only about 5 minutes away. We didn't find any bugs like mentioned in another review, except in the garden, but after all it's Costa Rica, if you're afraid of bugs, stay in Chicago. We felt at home and will come back for sure, with the kids.

“Overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 16, 2012

My husband and I stayed here two nights on our honeymoon. It was the worst choice we made, but it was the only hotel left since we book the night before. One night I saw a huge roach, and I am terrified of bugs. The door has a door knob that doesn't work, it locks with a latch. The good thing about this place is the pool, it is very nice and well kept. Also, it is a short walk from town or you can take a $2 taxi ride.

“Peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2011

Our family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights while hanging out at the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean, A/C, no bugs, warm pool, beautiful grounds. The Belgium management are very friendly and speak good English. They were eager to supply pool towels and plastic cups to party poolside. The breakfast was a bit limited with toast and fruit with coffee, although they offered cereal (my milk was at room temp). You can't get any better fruit...LOVED the pineapple!! They recommended a nice beach front restaurant which they hailed a cab for us, and that was delicious! (Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of the restaurant, but think it started with an 'M'.) Free wi-fi.

“Hotel Villa Creole is a perfect hotel for a family with children”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 10, 2010

Our family didn't care much for Jaco, but our consilation was that we stayed at a great hotel. Our room consisted of a separate air conditioned bedroom a second bed in the main area, a full kitchen and bathroom. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The hotel was located a few blocks from the main drag of Jaco. Jaco is a loud party town so having your accommodations away from the noise is good. There are grocery stores a few blocks away. You can walk but we usually drove because it was so hot.

The breakfast provided was very good! There were the traditional beans and rice and eggs. As much juice, toast, and coffee as you liked. The food was well prepared and tasty. Earlier reviews indicated the breakfast was marginal but the owners must have upgraded the fare.

The highlight for the kids was the pool. The pool was very nice, clean and not cold. The grounds around the rooms, pool, and breakfast area were very nice. Lots of fragrant flowers and very well kept. The breakfast area was also very pleasant.

Just a word about the towels. When we arrived there were only two large towels in the room. When we checked out the maids insisted there were more towels. They let the issue go. We stayed at several hotels in Costa Rica during our month stay there and I recommend that when you enter your hotel room and there don't seem to be as many towels as there should be, contact room service immediately. The hotel managers are very sensitive about "missing" towels.
