“Great place to stay. Perfect!! Cannot wait to go back!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

Our stay at Paloma Blanca was one of the best vacations ever! Super clean condo, amazing rooms, great bathrooms plus everyone was pleasant and helpful. The beach is just steps from the building and the pools were wonderfully clean and warm. It could not have been better. The walk into town to stores and restaurants was about 10 -15 minutes, but that was fine after relaxing and swimming all day. We found a wonderful local restaurant just a few blocks away called Rancho Santana and there was a small store at the end of our block to buy water and beer. We absolutely recommend staying at this lovely place in Jaco, Costa Rica. We cannot wait to go back!!

Room Tip: We stayed in a garden view room and loved it.

“Excellent front beach condo”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

We took our closest family to a two day rest in Jaco, Puntarenas. It was relaxing, great accomodations, pricing and service. The beach was beautiful, clean and safe. Just a great experience we want to repeat soon

Room Tip: Great place for rest, but lacks a gym and some activities for the kids.

“Fantastic!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 19, 2012

We just returned from the most wonderful vacation at Paloma Blanca. The condo was very clean, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Couldn't have asked for a better location. It was an easy walk to downtown, maybe 15 minutes, or you could take a cab for $2.00. Staff was very nice and friendly, especially Frank at the front gate. He even brought us fresh coconuts one day. Highly recommend!!

“Looks can be deceiving”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2012

I stayed at Daystar Paloma in Costa Rica for a week. Everything looks spectacular online, but as someone else commented, the place needs maintenance help. But my biggest gripe are the BEDBUGS that I found in my room and made their way into my luggage. Of course they came back to the United States with us....you could say I was not pleased one bit. It was a horrible ordeal to have to go through. Not to mention the water in my condo wasn't working right....AVOID THESE CONDOS! Save yourself the trouble and bug problem...

“Excellent place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012

We stayed at Paloma Blanca for 10 days in later January 2012. There was 4 adults and 2 kids, plenty of room for all of us. The location was excellent, pools clean, staff wonderful, the beach clean and quieter than near town. Our 9 year old son learned to surf right out front of the condo! The condo was very well equipped, with everything that we needed for cooking and everything in the condo worked well, we had a lovely view of the ocean from the balcony. The store we mostly went to was the Maxi Mart on the main street of town, there was a less expensive store just out of town but the selection of fresh food was not as good there. There was also a great seafood store walking distance from the condo, near the soccer field very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.

Room Tip: Anything 3rd floor or above would have a good view.
