Really enjoyed the daily yoga, especially the subbed class with Emma who was wonderful. The complimentary breakfast is nice and very fresh, but note they have a rotating menu and only one option per day with no variations. Our only negative is that the coffee is very very weak. The location is perfect with a trail right next to the hotel that provides a shaded short cut to the popular main street. Special thanks to Thony and Sandra who were very helpful in coordinating transport and activities for us when we needed. We would definitely stay here again. "

- "Spacious rooms, hot water in shower, good internet, clean. Staff available for check in. Enjoyed our stay. " - "." - "This resort has seen better days! Most of the structures are older and have not been kept in good repair. Wood decking around pool area is coming loose and is hazardous. Pool itself needs repairs. Rooms are more rustic but have modern combo locks on dorrs. our lock malfunctioned, so we were upgraded to the deluxe "house". This was much bigger and better with a full kitchen, and was further from the main road which meant it was quieter. staying in units near the road would be very loud. Staff was friendly & helpful and they have a lot of regular activities which would make this place better suited to a younger crowd. included salsa dancing, reggae or disco dance nights, etc. Food is average for the area. resort is a little isolated compared to both Guiones and Pelada beaches. Good, quiet business center. couldnt find 1 spoon in the large common kitchen. pretty basic."

Great kitchen facilities! and Marleny prepared us a delicious breakfast, for US$7. Comfortable rooms and very clean. The location is noisy on weekends, especially at night, with passing traffic on the main road." - "Mother & daughter hosts are a delight and ready to assist you with all your adventuring needs. Assisting with bookings, tours, transport, advice, directions, dining queries - super lovely and kind. The accommodation is perfectly located. So convent to Santa Elena - grocery store 5 mins, food, shops- perfection.👌 The amenities are what you’d imagine for the affordability but certainty not without a feeling of local charm. Hosts have provided all one needs and are quick to assist if there is something they can do. The rooms are small, but there private baths are convenient and comfortable. The place feels very safe and the local family element brings a homey feel that sets a guest’s mind at ease. This afternoon a toucan was in the tree adjacent to the property and the host came to find me so that I wouldn’t miss it. It is think kindness that makes this stay one that should not be missed. 10/10 on location & hospitality "

Expect music and a youthful party vibe, very chill vibes." - "Being a surf hostel, the place is run by young 20 year olds. Which is just something to be aware of in terms of the professionalism and unwarranted sassyness lol. I also thought it was a little pricey compared to its competitors in the area. It wasn’t very busy when my friend and I stayed and it gave off a very cliquey vibe. Other than that it’s literally steps away from the beach and is within reasonable walking distance to the rest of Jacó. Also loved the ample parking for our rental car. "
