“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2011

We really enjoyed the Bahia Azul. Within walking distance to everything you need. If you aren't able to walk well this would not suit you well but we had a 5, 8 and 10 year old and the walking worked fine for them. The resort is very nice. We found lots of people who point us in whatever direction we need. We had not done too much research about Jaco before going and were very pleased with the area and the people at the resort and management company who helped accomodate us. The beach is rocky right in front of the resort. It is beautiful to look at but you have to walk down a bit to enjoy a beach to sit and relax on. The pool is great. The kids enjoyed that very much.

“Well-equipped condo at great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2010

We liked the location: on the beach with a short walk to the center of town. Expectations lowered by earlier weak reviews so was pleasantly surprised. Condo was clean and cleaners showed up twice during 5 night stay.
Decent gym was very close and cost just $3 per day.

“that place is ruined”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed June 25, 2010

Rooms have bad smell, especially when it's raining. Kitchen equipment doesn't work, dishwasher was broken and they didn't fix it while we were there. Some cutlery and plates are missing. Old and stained towels and sheets. there is no housekeeping service (if you want it, you must pay extra fees). No umbrellas on the pool! Some guests were drunk and made noise, but guardians didn't react. Often blackouts (sometimes for hours). Poor wireless signal.

“Poor Management, All major Appliances unplugged! Not ready for guests.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2010

Made reservation with their booking agency in San Jose for family of 4 adults for 2 bedroom condo with breakfast delivered to doorstep each morning. This place is nicely located newer facility on the beach in Jaco. We had a hired van with spanish speaking driver/guide, thank goodness. First the room we were promised was not the room we got. The A/C remote was not working! . The staff didn't speak English, took forever to check us in even though we had prepaid in San Jose and had all the paperwork with us. My elderly parents were tired after long day sight seeing and decided to cook a light meal in the condo. Husband, guide and I decided to eat at a nice seafood dinner out, when we got back our key wouldn't work sothe guard let us in. Parents said they couldn't cook anything because the stove wouldn't work.(they bought groceries so they could cook) so basically eat bread for dinner. In morning no breakfast, no stove.when guide arrived in a.m. contacted staff, the stove was unplugged! Breakfast was to drive to a restaurant.. Guide explained about breakfast delivery to room but staff didn't care.He kindly went to the restaurant and brought our breakfast to us. (great guy, Eric) They didn't care at all. The nex day I tried to do laundry since they nice laundry room but nothing would start, another call and guess what !,everything was unplugged. They also dont provide housekeeping services.. . For spending $200 a night this was not worth it for me. This could have been a beautiful vacation spot if the management gets their act together. Communication from booking agency to the actual property is vey poor,
