There are no signs with the hotel name. Unless someone points at it you don’t know where it is. I had an argument with some drunk over the parking space. Water barely flowing in the shower. The entire town of Jaco is not neat

I had a really bad experience. I was changed 3 times. We had one of the suites with balcony view. The first room we arrived in the automatic door was not opening so we were locked out of our room for a while. They decided to move us to the room across but the AC was not working on this second unit. They then proceeded to move me to a 3rd room in the upper level however our fridge was not working the entire stay & at that point we were so exhausted from moving rooms & the traveling we decided to stay on the 3rd room. The location was the only convenient part of the hotel & the ocean view. I asked for a late checkout & even after everything we had already gone thru they charged me $50 for the late checkout. Overall not a good experience & no one tried to make it better for us.

El desayuno estubo bueno. Más las habitaciones y el Hotel está viejo, sin remodelar, las piscinas lucían con aguas turbias, donde estabs la ducha alrededor de la piscina se formaba una especie de agua empozada con mal olor y criadero de dengue posiblemente. Las habitaciones, algo viejas, los baños tenían costras de suciedad, las perillas oxidadas, espejos oxidados, el chorro de la ducha se salís por todo lado, lo reportamos...pero no funcionó. En fin NUNCA más volvería a este hotel, relación precio...muy caro para ser tan feo.

Great service, but terrible condition

They construction in the hotel around the hotel by the hotel, the entire five days we were there. The shower stall in our room was like a sprinkler and it would fill with water so we were all bathing in each other’s bathwater. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. I’ve never been in jail, but I’m sure that’s what the bed feels like in jail.
