“Comfortable stay immersed in beach life”
The location is absolutely amazing, it’s directly in front of the beach. The pool is lovely and the staff are very helpful. The beach in front of the hotel is a spot for turtles to nest, and the hotel’s staff is involved in conservation. They have a number of protected nesting spots where teams relocate the eggs for them to hatch safely. Super comfortable hotel with a hand in conservation - I very much recommend this place for your stay in Jaco!

“Bad experience. We do not reccommend.”
One maintenance guy was friendly. And that was only silver lining of our stay there.

The front desk staff were very helpful. They booked us tours and helped booked the local bus back to San Jose. Rooms were very clean and spacious. The food at the restaurant was fabulous along with the wait staff. Excellent location too!

Everything was great, except the room had a spa bathtub with jets and there was not enough hot water to fill it above the jet line.

“Not the best experience”
This hotel is literally on the beach and just a very short walk to the main street. Breakfast was nice,

“Balcony del Mar the family hotel”
Clean rooms and a great breakfast at the restaurant next door. The pool was nice but I only used it once. Great location by the beach for great sunsets. Safe in room and plenty of towels offered.

“Not worth the money.”
The beach was beautiful. Pools looked nice. Restaurant on site but not good food or service but the drinks are good.

Overall, I liked the Balcon del Mar. In my opinion, some prior reviews gave the hotel a bad rap. The rooms were clean, the pools were clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. Note: Balcon del Mar is for families with kids. It's not for single guys who go to Jaco for the nightlife. The hotel's posted policy prohibits female visitors not listed as hotel guests on the room registration form during check-in. (No problem for female guests present during check-in who signed the room registration form.)
