I’m going to take a phrase from an experienced traveler I went with, “It was a great experience. The rooms were clean and spacious. The hotel was nice, with a nice pool. The staff was amazing. The location was incredible”. With all that said, let’s start this rundown. 
For starters, everything he said was spot on, but be aware the hotel is an hour & half from the airport. What eases the blow of that, is how easy the hotel makes it for you to board their van, for a comfy ride, through the laid back beauty Costa Rica has to offer. I went thinking the wedding was going to be at a huge commercial chain. I arrived to find this medium sized, but spacious, boutique hotel that is so perfect for a group setting. The way the hotel is arranged allowed me to reunite with old friends and meet new ones within minutes. I had never been Costa Rica and went to attend a beach front wedding. I imagined what I thought I would see, but what I never imagined was that Marcel, and the hotels helpful staff, would be able rip every image from my head to make it a reality while adding on: amazingly fresh food prepared by chef Michael, adventure at your fingertips, remodeling the front of the hotel to point of unrecognizable (literally in a day) for the wedding, more alcohol than any liver should be consumed, a sunset that words can’t describe (again, location), and fireworks. That wasn’t me just adding. I mean literally, fireworks at the end of the wedding. If you ever had doubts or hesitations about booking an event so monumentally important and you want them erased? I can’t send out flares enough to suggest booking here. To the hotel (if you happen across this), thank you guys. You truly made a joyous event something to remember. 

Beachfront Wedding

A random internet search (Costa Rica, 35 guests, rental) led us to Casa 9 (AKA Hotel Nine) on Jaco Beach. We were looking for a venue for a destination wedding, a long weekend with friends and family with a wedding wedged somewhere in the middle. The photos looked promising, and we contacted the owner, Geoff, who spent an hour or so talking with us about the property and some of the weddings they'd done. We wanted to make sure we found someone we could trust since it was our wedding and because we are a same-sex interracial couple with a diverse group of friends. Definitely some biases could come into play to make this sort of thing less than ideal. Geoff couldn't have been more accommodating and welcoming 

Over the next 11 months as we prepared for our getaway and wedding, Geoff was available and quick with answers. He soon connected us with Marcel, the concierge at Casa 9, who was a lifeline leading up to our stay and while we were there.  We even got a live walkthrough via video call as we were trying to visualize the setup for the wedding and the layout of the rooms. The aim of everyone at Casa 9 is to provide a worry-free experience where you can relax and enjoy the PURA VIDA, the Costa Rican way of living. They exceeded their aim. 

Arriving at Casa 9 after a long day of travel, we were stunned to discover that things looked even nicer than the pictures. A pool with a waterfall and swim-up bar. An amazing sound system for poolside music. Lush green vines covering the fence with iguanas and birds aplenty.  A beach with chairs and umbrellas right outside the gate. The rooms were nice--some nicer than others--with a luxurious VIP room and a penthouse room with adjacent area for hanging out and socializing. 

The staff work around the clock to keep things running smoothly and to keep everyone happy. Anna and the other housekeepers make the rooms sparkle and smell "Fabuloso." There's a security guard at night, who also does a little clean up and sets out beach chairs for you early in the morning before he leaves to go home and sleep. Marcel takes care of your every need--arranging excursions  (and even showing up in the bushes on your ATV tour to snap some candid pictures), handling a delivery from the local liquor store (pro tip:  order the Cacique, a Costa Rican liquor that is a lot lot vodka and way more affordable than anything else), booking surfing lessons on the beach right outside the property, providing directions for a local hike to an abandoned hotel, tracking down lost luggage, arranging cab rides into town, making sure everyone gets to and from Casa 9 on private shuttles from the airport, keeping future mother-in-laws happy, and taking care of some unexpected bees who attempted to sabotage the wedding. He did all of this with a smile and a sense of humor. He's a real treasure and a fun guy to be around. 

Chef Maikol gets his own paragraph. Who wouldn't want a private chef who cooks incredible, restaurant-quality meals for your group while your on vacation? Everything he prepared was fresh, flavorful, and universally loved. He even made special offerings for a vegan guest. There were plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, tastier beans than you've ever eaten anywhere, delectable entrees, and delicious desserts. You won't find better food in town. And the price is quite reasonable, all things considered. We paid a whole lot more for a dinner out with fish that wasn't nearly as delicious as the seafood extravaganza Maikol prepared one evening. 

The wedding was all anyone could wish for. They transformed the tiny parking lot into a wedding venue, set up a beachside canopy, and, while we were taking post-wedding photos and enjoying cocktails, converted the wedding chapel into a dance floor with lights and an awesome DJ. The food was delicious (ok, truth, not as delicious as the meals Chef Maikol prepared the rest of the week), and everyone had a blast. Speaking of blasts, Marcel pulled some strings so we could end the wedding reception party with a surprise fireworks display.  I don't use the word "magical" very often, but that's what it was. 

If you're still reading this far, what are you waiting for? You need to book a vacation at Casa 9. You won't regret it. You may have to compete with us for a reservation, though, because now our friends are trying to figure out how to get everyone back there for a wedding weekend reunion. 

Gracias to everyone at Casa 9 for making our destination wedding extraordinary.
 

Destination Wedding Extraordinaire

Great customer service and nice rooms. Food was great and very unique. Pool was nice with speakers for music. Great location being directly across from the beach. Restaurants annd shops  are also walking distance.

Great location and place

The hotel was amazing. Incredible location and outstanding staff. So helpful.  The rooms were spacious. The town is an easy walk. We were there for a wedding. The hotel went out of their way to make this an incredible experience. I would go back.

A true exotic vacation.

Marcel and his crew took exemplary care of us. The crew was constantly ensuring the surroundings looked their best. Everyone was so friendly and the food was amazing every day. He was always two steps ahead of each excursion and really made it an awesome experience! Highly recommend Hotel 9

Hotel 9 gets 10 stars!

Everyone had a great experience at Casa 9 when we got together for a family reunion with more than 30 people from different corners of the US.  The staff is outstanding - Marcel, Ana, Maikol - take a bow!  Maikol the chef aims to please and is passionate about serving dishes to everyone's satisfaction.  As a bonus, he can cook different types of cuisine including Indian!

Rooms were comfortable, the pool was great and the location was awesome.

Awesome experience - family reunion with 30+ people

I've been going to Jaco with friends for years and there's nothing that comes close to Casa 9.  The location is right where you want to be, steps from the ocean, and the pool there is huge and right in the middle of the place.

When I was just there, the staff was great. Anything we needed help with, it was not a problem. I don't think they ever said the word no.

The privacy of having your own place is perfect. Only our group in the pool, nobody else. Food was really good, breakfast in the morning, meals on our schedule. 

I highly recommend Casa 9.

Nothing else comes close

My family of 20 were so amazed to be able to stay at Casa 9 / Hotel 9 this year. Everyone at Hotel 9 was unbelievably accommodating and so friendly and helpful. They all worked so hard to make our visit comfortable and memorable.
	We started conversations with the Host, Jeff, 9 months ago, and he was a great communicator, transparent about everything and so helpful to assist us with all the arrangements from, Private Chef costs and meals, Housekeeping, and the Concierge, Marcel was off the charts helpful and friendly who made our trip over the top fantastic. The host , Jeff, was taking calls, texts and emails from us for months to help prepare us for our travels to Costa Rica, coordinating our itinerary for the 20 of us and was incredibly patient and supportive of our needs and fun to speak with. We were celebrating a 50th Wedding Anniversary, doing Vow renewals, basically it was the wedding all over again and the entire team at the Hotel made our dream come true…..Best Location on the Beach, an Amazing property with waterfall, spa, pool, and our own private restaurant and bar, I mean WOW!, and the list goes on……It was hard leaving, the trip gave us all so many great photos and memories, we want to go back every year for a family reunion. Entire Property, Rooms etc were clean, fresh and daily cleaning service too. Thank you to the entire staff and host who all made the planning and execution so easy and the Price was unbelievable for everything we received…….Priceless

Family Trip 2022

The location is perfectly located on a great surfing beach with plenty of activities near by. Town is a short walk by beach or street to find local fare. The staff was very accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of and safe. 5 Stars all around.

Fantastic Group Rental

The measure of a good vacation is being sad to leave.  I am so so sad.  Hotel 9 was the PERFECT PLACE!!!!  Marcel, Anna and the whole staff are exceptional!!!  We had every need and desire taken care of with kindness and smiles… what an amazing place from arrival to departure we were totally spoiled…. Chef Mikel was so awesome as well…100% will be back!!!!! I suggest you stay here if you are considering a CR VACATION!!!!
