“Love This Place!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2012

We loved our stay in Jaco and were especially lucky to have stayed at this property. We rented from a private owner, Jodi and she was very helpful and great to work with - we stayed in condo 4B. The condo itself was perfect, very clean, nicely decorated, and highly functional with all that we needed while on vacation! The grounds were beautiful with lush vegetation and palm trees, clean pool and right on the beach! Everything is within easy walking distance: water sports, restaurants, groceries, shopping and pharmacy - so convenient! We rented bikes and spent afternoons exploring a little more off the beaten path. We were happy to discover how centrally located we were to everything. There is a nice sense of community created by the condos surrounding the pool with a mix of owners and vacationers. Everyone made us feel welcome.
Most evenings we would check out the local fare, the restaurants were excellent, with great food and good service. All in all, it was a fantastic vacation -- we will be back and we plan to stay here again!

Room Tip: Jodi rents a few condos I think but we had 4C on the second floor. It was great and the location wa...

“Beautiful Condo Community - We WILL Be Back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2012

My wife and I traveled to Costa Rica few weeks ago and wow we loved it. We rented a condo on VRBO from a private owner and she was amazing, helped us with everything from transportation to surfing and everything in between. We stayed in a top floor condo and watched every sunset while were there - really amazing view. I would suggest to anyone to rent a top floor condo!!! We planned to just relax by the pool but we ended up hiking and zip lining and we took an amazing ATV tour up the moutain. We didn't rent a car, just walked everywhere or grabbed a taxi for next to nothing - that saved us a lot of money! Everything we wanted or needed was so close.
The condo was perfect, the pool was beautiful, the area was quite, the staff was friendly and the owner was great. We loved our trip and we loved our "home" while we were there.

Room Tip: Rent a top floor condo. We were in condo 4C which has tables and lounge chairs on the roof top. I...

“What A Find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2011

My husband and I just got back from Jaco we have never been and really enjoyed our stay. We planned a ton of things to do and didn't really plan where to stay - we just picked the first place that looked good that responded to our email. I am so happy we were able to stay at Bahia Azul! This was the best part of our amazing trip! After long days of many adventures we felt like this was home - it has a welcoming quality, so many happy and friendly faces and it was so comfortable. We have never slept to good in our lives! In fact, on the last day of our trip we asked if any condos were available for sale! We are thinking of going back in a few months and maybe putting an offer on our possible retirement home. Needless to say, we will be back again!

Room Tip: I just read other comments - this is a condo not a hotel therefore there isn't breakfast offered...

“Great place to stay for 3+ days. Think apartment, not hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2011 via mobile

This was a great place for us to stay for 5 days. It's not super close to food or Bars, but it's just a short drive into town. Ive read a few negitive reviews of the place, and I think its important to realize your expectations. I probably wouldn't stay here if you are looking for a place to wait on your every need. It's more of an apartment than a hotel. I prefer this type of environment to a hotel, and would rather cook a few meals a day than to eat out. .... So it worked out well for us.

“Amazing Place - Beautiful, Clean, Quiet, Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2011

This propety is so beautiful. It's on the south end of the beach, it feels tucked away, it's quieter but still a short walk into town and all it has to offer. We stayed on a top floor condo that had loungers and table and chairs on the rooftop - the sunsets were perfect - we had dinner and cocktails there most evenings. The pool was crystal clear, the grounds were well maintained and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Bahia Azul is located on the prettiest street in Jaco...This place is great - we are going to stay again next year but I think we will contact a private owner to stay rather than the management company. We heard you can get better prices!

Room Tip: Rooftop condos with the sunset deck are great!
