The property was well kept and modern. There was security to greet us and watch the parking area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool was open until 10pm which was very convenient. The beach was just in front of the hotel and was very nice, but the waves are big. We only had the fish sandwich at the hotel and it was very good! The only gripe we had with the hotel was that our room was very small. With 2 open luggages in the room it was very difficult to move around the room. The shower was also one of those half glass showers and water would get all over the floor. Besides the tiny room with limited space our experience at the hotel was a very good one.

Beautiful hotel, great stay

We came to Jaco for surfing and this hotel seemed much nicer than others in the area and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The property was beautifully designed and everything felt brand new. The rooms were very comfortable with a lot of attention to detail. You can tell a lot of care went into everything. The hotel café and restaurant/bar were excellent. The pool was perfect for relaxing, and the hotel location couldn’t be better: right in town near restaurants and shops, and directly on the beach with easy surf access. Loved my stay here and would definitely come back.

This was a lovely property right on the beach with a great coffee bar. The staff was friendly and the drinks were delicous but food and drinks were more like San Diego or LA prices. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice location. Was odd to have to pay for meals and beverages separately rather than do a room charge. Room s next to lobby are not as private. Can hear a lot of music and conversation from lobby. Showers in studio do not have towel racks or shelves to put soap or shavers. Limited dining menu. Beds were a bit firm and air conditioning blows right over the bed.

I have to say that this was a first class operation! Everyone from the front desk to the owner worked so ridiculously hard to make our stay fantastic. The food there was stupendous and the cocktails were amazing. I am from South Florida and it was a step above. The rooms were small, but they were tastefully decorated so it wasnt cramped feeling. My daughter and i were there for 3 days and it was a refreshing change. Beds were really comfortable! Also, Cocolito surf school was awesome. Ask for Ethan and tell him Christina sent you.

Our stay at Hotel Lia was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. Every detail, from the impeccable cleanliness to the exceptional hospitality, exceeded our expectations. The food was sensational, and we found ourselves looking forward to every meal. Special thanks to Sebastian, Christian, and Juana, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The concierge and front desk team were also fantastic, making our stay seamless. Hotel security was also involved, helping us with luggage, restaurant suggestions, and travel tips. Priscilla (the AM coffee attendant) was clutch to waking up early to get the day started. The hotel’s central location allowed us to easily explore nearby restaurants and shops—everything was just a short walk away. We genuinely can't think of a single negative aspect; it was that good! We’re already planning our return and can’t wait to recommend Hotel Lia to our friends and family.
