Great place
Great hotel, great location, very friendly people. Prices were very reasonable, including the drinks at the bar. Rooms are very clean.

Love the property! Felt like you were in the rain forest! Large clean pool! Easy acess to beach with great opertunities to surf. Enjoyable walk to town and amazing sunsets!
Daniel Esteban, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is a gem.
Perfect place for a family in this somewhat young, single tourist beach town. The beach down here is sandy and more toward the north has a lot of rock, so very happy with the location. Casually set up a surf lesson with the company right outside the hotel. The hotel had a lot of beautiful plants throughout the rooms. It was old school, but in the best possible way. This is my ideal kind of hotel.
Jesse, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed my stay overall, mainly because of the amazing location—being right by the beach was definitely a highlight! The bar staff and servers were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. However, the front desk service wasn’t as warm or helpful, which was a bit disappointing. The accommodations could also use some updates—the room felt a bit outdated, and the towels weren’t the best quality. That said, the beach access and the vibe at the bar made up for some of the downsides. With a few improvements, this place could be a real gem!

A nice location just outside the main downtown area. Room was clean, breakfast was quick and tastey. Only negative was that there were many mosquitoes in the garden area that our room was located.

Overall our stay was good. The hotel could use a little maintenance, specially in the bathrooms. Food is great! Staff is very friendly.

Worn Out
Check-in guy was on his phone the whole time. Zero customer focused. The best description would be just plain 'worn out'. Breakfast is limited. As an example, a second cup of coffee is $3. U.S. Plain chicken dinner is $20. I recommend 5 minute walk to Beach Break Resort. Big room for $25. less per night. Another 5 minute walk to $6.50 chicken dinner

South Beach
We stayed here in 2020 and the condition of the hotel is fetting run down. I love the pool, temperature just perfect. The breakfast, tho included, was very poor quality and stone cold. I would rather pay for my breakfast and get something good. The two servers were friendly
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older charming hotel. Great traditional Costa Rica breakfast daily. Nice pool. Amazing beach. Able to rent boogie boards and take surf lessons. Efran at the beach bar was friendly and made great cocktails. Katherine at front desk was very helpful. She made arrangements for excursions and taxis and was so very nice. Sweet hotel dog Flocko was a memorable part of our stay. Would return.

Decent stay in Jack Beach
The place is located very near to the beach. Room size is decent. The restaurant staff were very friendly. Could do better with the front desk staff. Can have better WiFi at room it was fine at the dining area

Pool, breakfast with a view, and AMAZING staff!
What a pleasant surprise! We enjoyed HSB so much that we came back for an extra night at the end of our trip. No frills, but steps from the beach with a beautiful pool, fantastic kitchen, and the BEST service in the bar/restaurant. This will be a go-to for us on future trips, as it was an easy ride to SJO as well.

Avoid this property
Hotel really needs some upgrading. Pictures are deceiving. No toilet seats in womans bathrooms of reception and bar. No blankets, only sheets, Lock on door busted, room smells musty, towels soiled, pool cloudy, really disappointed.
Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Most of the staff was friendly. Only one person was not very nice. Javier was the friendliest person on the site. Had to ask for towels and blankets twice. If I do return to Jaco, I will not stay here.
