The worst part was the lack of soundproofing; I could hear everything—not just from the room next door, but from the neighbors beyond that too.

“A GEM OF A FIND!”
Everything! A real gem of a find, close to the beach but far enough to be away from the noise. A good breakfast included and the staff were very welcoming. Would highly recommend

“Very family oriented”
The bed is amazing, definitely one of the best beds in Costa Rica. The jacuzzi is small but good enough. Very good customer service

“Lovely small hotel, secure, well-run, good value.”
We only stayed in the hotel one night as we were transiting between the North and South pacific coasts of Costa Rica. We loved the hotel. It's small, overlooks several clean, warm(ish) pools, has some wildlife in the mature trees, and the rooms are spacious with a lovely spot to sit outside. The manager/porter was lovely, very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. Lots of loungers around the pool and a spotless environment. It's about 100m walk to the main road in Jaco with shops, bars, restaurants etc. My understanding is that Jaco can be a somewhat seedy holiday town, but this is an excellent hotel, well-run, secure, great value for money with supervised parking. I would recommend it unreservedly.

“Friendly lovely place”
The hotel is just lovely! We liked it so much, we returned there for another night, before flying back home. The pool is great, the whole courtyard feels very homey. The breakfast was very good as well. Especially wonderful was the staff - Antony helped us a lot with organising our stay.
