It was all most like that did not care to be a help it was just got had to ask I want to say that I must asked for frech fries or a salad like three times each and every time they was there to bring the food with a smile or even a laugh...... No the room quality was really good as well I feel that the water may could have been a little better but other than the water everything else plus the service was wonderful I highly recommend it and it was at a reasonable price

The great service!

Reasonable prices, good location,Room 10 has kitchen,clean,good breakfast,family oriented,Good security,safe.When most hotels were full during the high season,the hotel Zabamar had a room where we able to get a good clean room for a extended period of time....The Costa Rica owner very helpful 

Good internet connection 

Not very new, but comfortable hotel. Rooms are big, but not very clean. The biggest plus is very big pool and privat entry to playa.
The stuff is very friendly and helpful. They changed our room when we said them that AC is broken in a few minutes. They also gave us the possibility to cook on their kitchen - that was nice!
Nearby is green room bar with a craft beer and live music, so that's a plus and a minus too. If you want some quiet you need to choose other option, but if you like good music - take that hotel. ;)

Ok for its price

Well the staff were nice so it’s a bit difficult to write this review. However, the room had no hot water at all in the 2 days I stayed there. They only provide white linen sheets for bedding. Nothing more. No comforter, no blankets. They only provided one towel and only after multiple requests.
The room was very old and depressing looking. My room was nothing more than a dive. 
The wifi didn’t work at all in my room and was very hit and miss if I walked out to their gravel parking lot. 
There is a pool separated into three sections. The main section was cloudy. The two smaller sections were clear and seemed clean. But the biggest problem is the fact that it is directly connected to the Green Room. A bar that pumps out extremely loud, live music until 1:30am (at least on weekends). It was impossible to sleep. I could literally feel the music shake my bed. This isn’t an earplug fix. I ended up just getting up and going down there to join them because sleep would be impossible.
Overall, staff were nice, room was way overpriced and I’ll never return.

Not Good

I hate to say never again because I like to have options. For example, a freak storm could destroy every other hotel in Jaco. Then where would I be?  It's been known to happen. Sure, so far only in mythology but you never know. So why 2 stars?  Well let me start objectively and maybe stretch on some positives. Access to the beach? Check.  Room with 3 beds? Check. Swimming pool? Check. Heart of Jaco?  Check.  Friendly staff?  Check.   Ok enough of that.  I understand that many hotels are not up to western 1st world standards and I would rate this hotel higher if they didn't charge over $100 a night. Where do I begin? Dirty, very dirty. Like no one can bother to clean in the corners or behind the faucets. Plastic dirty toilet. No hand towels. Plumbing was installed by monkeys and only works sometimes. Safe did not work. Bed had only sheets and was as hard as a rock. Way, way too loud. Outdoor cafe had no coffee on Saturday morning.  Pool had only a couple chairs which were so cheap and old they could not be used.   Also, an earlier review mentioned private room entrances. This apparently was meant to mean it is a motel rather than a hotel not having a lobby. In fact you check in at the parking lot.   By the way, when my friend managed to get a small 6 oz coffee it cost $2.  Really?  Half the lights in my room didn't work but at least the air conditioner eventually cooled the room. I'm sure I could go on but I'm starting to bore myself....
