Money does not go far in CR- Costa Rica. However this is the best value. Though this is not a western standard hotel, the real wood construction and real wood furniture give it a superior regal feel. The four small pools of all different temperatures suround by a tropical garden makes it a local resort. The water is chilled in some pools. At the highway a left turn across the bridge and first right street will bring you to the ocean (short pleasant walk). There is a raked beach, fancy restaurant, beach chair rental. Also across the bridge is the start of all the noisy restaurants, shops, bars and general activity of the town for 3km. The other direction (hwy right) is the quiet end town and bus station. The included local CR type breakfast was filling, however, you need to make reservation for serving time. The very weak internet did work in the rooms which is not true for most hotel in Jaco.  The bus driver will drop you off at the Airport if you tell him in Jaco CR2920/person.  Bus station is across Best Western.  "Soda" full plate meals (six items) are CR4000 + 500 drink verses US$25 for 2-topping pizza more typical of town food.  Food is not cheap, that is why the hotel breakfast has much more value than normal.  This hotel has a prime location for exploring Jaco.  It is the center of town.  You will hear some night time outdoor music from near by, but it was not a big deal.  Filtered water in the lobby. Our second floor 4 person room was big.  All room have patios some were private like ours.  Noise from the pools till 930pm not really a problem.

Centrally Located Local Resort Type Hotel - Costa Rician Standard Quality

We loved this place!
Well kept grounds, beautiful pools, big rooms, great AC, comfortable beds and  quiet.
Fantastic staff everyone was so helpful.
Wonderful breakfast with several choices.
Close to strip but quiet.
Will definitely stay here again.

We will return!!

Oh my goodness! This hotel is a true gem. We went there for one night as we were visiting a couple of friends in the area. The gentleman at the front desk was very polite . informative and accomidating. We arrived a few hours before check in and our room was already cleaned so he allowed us to check in early. Parking is a tiny walk down the secluded street with a locked gate. The grounds are quaint and have seating for children too around the pool, foosball and sweet lounge area with couches outside. The grounds were well taken care of. Two pools and a jacuzzi in the center court. It is quiet and clean. Breakfast is included--you pick your meal the night before and your seating time. I didn't want to leave! Comfortable and family friendly.

A hidden gem in Jaco

This is a very nice and cosy place, it's very safe, the swimming pool was comfortable and clean, the owner was also very friendly and helpful and the rooms were updated and spacey. This is the place to be in Jaco.

Very nice and beautiful hotel.

The staff was very friendly. Needs a little updating but a great one night stop. The breakfast was average. Their bacon is not like our bacon in the US but other than that I have no complaints. The 2 pools were great. It had 2 swimming pools a kiddie pool and a hot tub.

I would like to say wonderful things about this hotel, but I can’t.  
Here is the good:  1). The location is good.  It’s a quick walk or drive to the main street with lots of bars snd restaurants. 2).  The grounds and pool area are lovely.  The hotel had many Costa Rican families as well as foreign visitors. There were lots of kids who behaved beautifully at the pool.  3).  The staff was very nice. Breakfast was not a buffet and there were three daily choices that were the same each day but very good. 
The bad:  our room was very dated, dark, and filled with old, large pieces of furniture. The bathroom was incredibly ugly and need a total remodel.  The towels provided were in terrible condition.  A bit of freshening up of this property would go along way to making it a wonderful hotel.   It has tremendous potential.  
Not the hotel’s fault:  a young woman came by our corner room to make a phone call. The rooms are accessed on the outside, and each room has some outdoor seating. She looked into the window as I was dressing, and then proceeded to sit down on my wet clothes outside on the chair drying in order to make a phone call.  Really?  What was she thinking?  This is just a side comment and nothing to do with this hotel.  I don’t understand people screaming outside of hotel rooms or running up and down the hall and slamming doors.  I always appreciate a soft closing door.

It could have been nicer.

This was a great little find and if you're looking for a family friendly hotel with no frills this place is a must. 

A beautiful welcome area with more than plenty relaxation areas, it is a very warm and friendly place. 

Dutch owned, the staff were amazing and went out of their way to accommodate us.  

The hotel is two mins from the main centre but far enough away to be distant from the noise.

Really enjoyed our stay here

A little gem of a hotel

Very comfortable place. The breakfast is MEH, but the place is very pleasant. The rooms are comfy (with AC), quiet, there are two swimming pools in a beautiful garden where you can see iguanas roaming around. 5 minutes by walk from the beach, which is quite ugly but perfect for surfing. The owner is very kind and offer free transportation to the bus station. Recommended!

Very pleasant place

Excellent service, good breakfast.
Quiet space to stay, very nice owner Victor and his wife, super friendly staff, clean rooms.  Located walking distance to beach.  
Owner down to earth guy always trying to help so really great hospitality.
Some rooms have kitchenette so if you on budget cooking is optional.
Walking distance to Italian store, or big market, or restaurants.
Activity centre just around corner, beach restaurants all in walking distance from hotel.

Great for Family and some one looking for quite space in Jaco Costa Rica

Booked a 3 night stay through hotels.com. Upon check in was taken up stairs to corner unit facing street with woods creek on other side of road. Room was dilapidated old smelled of mould and dark. Might be listed as value but not worth $10 per night. We informed hotels.com they contacted the owner and he not allow us a refund for our balance of 2 nights. Suggest avoiding this run down old smelly hotel. Not safe with people coming up from the creek/ravine . Breakfast was also below average which was included .
Buyer Beware other value hotels close by that are a huge upgrade from this so called value hotel.if there was a no star option this hotel qualifies.
