Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Jaco

Excellent room with a private pool on the balconey & kitchen. Clean, good free breakfast and nice swimming pool.

Nice clean room with a nice private pool at a reasonable price. Staff was friendly, free breakfast was great!

We stayed a week at the Oceano, and what a lovely stay it was! We had a suite with a plunge pool. The room was massive, spotlessly clean and had everything we could need and more. The kitchen is well equipped with coffee maker, fridge freezer, small oven etc and a washer-dryer. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly and welcoming, nothing was a problem. Breakfast is good, selected from a menu (around 7 choices in total) and cereals, juice and coffee were self service. The food always came out hot and everything we had, we really enjoyed. I would say to get to breakfast around 8:00 as there are only a few tables and it did get busy after 8:30. The pool area was also very well maintained and the pool itself was the perfect temperature. I will say the hotel got significantly busier on weekends due to offers they had on, so there was a longer wait for breakfast and the pool did get more crowded, so if you want to avoid this it’s best to do an excursion on a weekend and have a relaxing pool day another time. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to the Oceano. It really is a delight and situated only 10 mins from the Jaco strip, so it’s quiet but not too far away from the action.

The room was spacious, however, we upgraded after a week to a Pool room. which was on the balcony. Absolutely Loved it. Exercise in the pool downstairs in the morning< and refreshing cool pool in the afternoon on the balcony. It was amazing. You could not ask for more in a hotel. We loved our stay. The staff are wonderful. The Manager Alexandra was amazing as well, very helpful. It was a full apartment, with a kitchen, refrigerator, stove, microwave. If you wanted to cook You could. Pali grocery store is minutes away, Maxi Mennos ( Walmart) is a 15 minute walk on the main strip. The main Pool downstairs was amazing, with a side jacuzzi and little huts for shade, as well as beautiful lounge chairs. If you don't want to cook, you can order with confidence from the restaurant in the hotel, everything was delicious. The breakfast is included and spectacular choices. As far as we were concerned it was all first class, the service, the staff and the apartment. We loved our stay. We would highly recommend this hotel. The cleaning is done daily. you have a choice of the time it is done. They cater to your every desire. We even washed our clothes before coming back, as there is a washer and dryer in the apartment, you just have to buy detergent that's it.

Oceano was definitely one of the best lodging options for downtown Jaco. Everything you could want was writhing a 10-minute walk or a 10-minute taxi drive. The property is new and the facilities are upgraded. Our particular room included a a full kitchen with laundry. We had a separate bedroom and a living room that included a large couch which converted into a double decker bed. The room had two balconies which overlooked the pool. There were also floor to ceiling windows that brought in lots of light. This can be good or bad. The view was lovely, but could be noisy at night when people were frolicking in the pool. Also, you could be seen through the windows by neighbors. We kept the shade down most times. However, the property was lovely. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was homemade deliciousness. The staff provided free beach or pool towels that could be exchanged each day. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The hotel tour concierge was very helpful and helped my family customize our excursion experience. Each night we could walk to the best restaurants and bars and felt safe. I highly recommend Oceano. FYI: as of Dec 2024, there are three additional properties being built in the area. By Dec 2025, I imagine that strip will be a bustling little metropolis. I look forward to returning.

amazing property, great ocean view, private pool, huge space, beautiful furnitures, style , design , comfort and tranquility. much better than any place we stayed in Costa Rica, including 5 star hotels In Arenal area. when you go to this suites, you don’t want to leave. be careful, and Pura vida ))

Well appointed property and a spectacular view. We extended our stay by adding another night as soon as we checked in. Modern amenities with a private pool and well equipped kitchen, breathtaking sunsets, stargazing at night - it was great value for the money in every way.

Everything went well, Laura the manager was extremely helpful and supportive. The location and view of the place are just breathtaking. The private pool and the view from there is not tappable. There are not many places like this.

The view is amazing. The private pool is so nice and the nature just outside the terrace is beautiful. The room for 3 persons was spacious enough and the little kitchen with the refrigerator was very helpful.

The room was extremely luxurious: the private pool was amazing and the view was breathtaking. The room was spacious and really clean. Expensive room, but worthwhile.

We loved our stay at Akua Ocean View Suites. The room was very clean and felt very luxurious. We had our very own plunge pool which always felt peaceful and was wonderful to relax in after a long day. The kitchenette was perfect and had everything we needed.

This is a great place to be on your own. Amazing views from the balcony with a private pool. You need a rental car, and the town nearby is quite small, but it's a lovely place to spend some time.

We just left and already want to return. The plunge pool was amazing. The wildlife- iguanas-toucan-squirrels all made it feel magical. The room was cool- clean and spacious.

We had an excellent stay here. The private pool was fantastic and the view over the ocean was great. We would definitely stay here again.

The view was beautiful and I loved that there was a private pool for each room!

Monte Carlo is an amazing Condo Property. Close enough to walk to everything yet just off the main strip so there is no riffraff at the property. The gate guards are fantastic at recommendations and they knew my name within my first night. Those guys are great. The office staff is so helpful and really have a great approach to allowing you enjoy your vacation with out bothering you. The pool area was immaculate and the grounds are perfectly manicured and well kept. My room was amazing I paid a very small amount to overlook the pool and oh my god was it worth every cent... I love this property... It is every bit as wonderful as all the reviews say it is... If I had to say one negative thing it would be the hot water in the shower..It is luke warm at best.. But after talking to many other visitors to Jaco at other properties, that is just the way it is in Jaco... Deal with it... Everything else makes up for it.

Very surprised how nice this condo was. Large open rooms and excellent floor plan with updated slate tile floor, granite counters and stainless appliances. Beds were very comfortable and everything worked, nice hot showers, AC, safe in condo etc. The gardens are very well maintained, and the pool is beautiful and inviting with nice warm water. Most afternoons we just got in the pool and hung out for a hour or so it was so good. The condo resort is set back behind the main street in Jaco, so noise is not a problem, very peaceful. The only issues I had was that we were the furthest condo from the office, so Wifi signal was not very strong so could not use to stream Netflix at peak times. Also did not appear to be a gym, but I was on vacation so not a big issue. Would definitely book again. Great condo for the price.

The staff (security) is very friendly and attentive. The pool is nice and big. The condition on the pool chairs was less than desirable. Inside the condo the furniture was nice, but the bed lines were poor quality and the shower was dated.

Arrived early and given keys to unit 3 hours before regular check in. Office staff friendly and very accomodating. No paperwork and no credit card asked for at check in. Room was amazing. Large rooms nicely furnished. Excellent a/c. TV's in both bedrooms and living room. Huge kitchen with marble counter tops and with lots of utensils and appliances and a supermarket about a 3 minute walk from the complex. A laundry room with washer and dryer. Plenty of towels. A beautiful balcony overlooking the pool with comfortable outdoor furniture. Check out was maybe the best I ever experienced. The girl working in the office asked me to wait until the maid checked the room. Within 10 minutes the maid contacted her to say the room looked good and that was it, done. At no time was I asked for a credit card.

We loved the location - walked everywhere, enough out of the way but close to town and night life. The staff was friendly and helpful, tho I was hoping the condo would be stocked with plain salt- had pepper and garlic salt tho :) Overlooked open land and caught the eagles coasting through the air. The pool was steps away - met a family that traveled from the same area where we had been staying with family. Clean, nicely furnished and would definitely stay again! My husband travels each week and found this a relaxing and welcoming secure complex - a true gem!

It has everything nice rooms,pools, clubs and food.

Great place to stay and have a wonderful time near the beach in Jaco. There is a pool and lounge for food and drinks in the same place. Leonard and Francisco were very accommodating with whatever we needed. I would definitely recommend if you are trying to have a great time!

Just wow, this place is amazing. It’s a safe spot to unwind after a fun night of partying. Managed to do at least 4 different bars including the bar on site for a night of fun. With a working a/c and a comfortable bed after a long night of partying i would highly recommend and come back. The staff is beyond sweet and friendly even if your English is terrible like mine

You’re in the middle of everything. Beach clubs food ladies anything you need I recommend this place for single men. I had a great time here it can get noisy at night but you here to party anyway so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I was worried it was going to be crazy with the restaurant and bar/lounge so close to the rooms. It wasn't though, it actually really quiet and my king bed was incredibly clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful spacious property in great location with gorgeous view. The front gate attendant Angel was so helpful throughout our stay.

UN LUGAR MUY TRANQUILO Y RELAJANTE LA VISTA AL MAR ESPECTACULAR

Buena limpieza Tranquilo Cómodo El departamento requiere mantenimiento con unos retoques de pintura.

The pools and all meals were great. Staff was awesome. The fact you have 2 pools in different locations help entertain the kids with options for them to do different things. The food was great during all times

We had really nice stay there, even came back for second stay on the road trip. Staff is very helpful and polite, big room, good food in restaurant, nice pool and it’s located directly at the beach. All tourist stays in the pool, so you have whole beach just for you, it was all ours, amazing. Good simple restaurants in the near.

Beautiful beachfront resort with 2 nice swimming pools. Hotel room and shower was clean and beds were comfortable. It was around 15 minutes to Jaco. Uber is affordable and easy. The staffs were super nice Fabian, Hope, and the manager helped booking excursion for us. They were always attending with smiles and knowledge. Hotel owner came to our table to asking how we were doing and offered under house drinks as well. Thanks for all your helped 😊.

The food at the restaurant was amazing. During our 10 day stay we tried everything on the menu and loved everything. The staff was incredible. Very friendly. Helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. Ocean views fantastic. Nice pool.

A modern beach hotel surrounding a beautiful garden and swimming pool. The public beach is directly behind the hotel, accessed through a gate in the pool area. It has a lifeguard and can be good for swimming, but the waves are sometimes quite high depending on the tide. Rooms are clean and well furnished, and A/C and wifi worked well. Good breakfast (included) is served at an adjacent hotel which you can access through the pool area. Gated free parking out front. The garden usually had an iguana or two, and a pair of scarlet macaws sometimes perched in the trees. It's located down a side street off the main street of Jacó, and there are numerous bar and restaurant choices in both directions along the main street.

Great location, clean and kept well. The pool area is perfect and the pools are super clean. Tons of lounges and chairs to use in the pool area and on the beach. Breakfast is included as a bonus!

Fabulous room with kitchen with gas stove and microwave. Right next to a great pool with loads of different chairs and sunloungers. Our room had a terrace with sofa and chair overlooking the pool and garden. An iguana often visited! The beach was right outside the hotel and breakfast was served in the cafe on the beach. This cafe also did great food and cocktails in the evening for reasonable prices. Jaco itself was nicer than I expected with lots of useful shops and restaurants. We saw scarlet macaws in the trees around. We were also able to find a second hand book store with books in English.

Within steps to the beach as well as many restaurants. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Two pools,1 big with deep end on one side and another kiddie pool. Wi Fi coverage can be better. Breakfast included in the restaurant next doors was pretty good and had healthy options available. We enjoyed surfing lessons offered by beach shops few steps away. Overall good location and service.

The hotel is located next to the beach and has a good swimming pool and an additional childrens pool. There is a cafe/restaurant (Kokos) adjacent which serves breakfast. It also serves excellent evening meals. The rooms and grounds are very well kept 👍

The breakfast was 5-star! The chef is a very kind lady who prepared the meal quickly. I received more food than I expected and it was delicious- none of it was sitting in a heated tray, but was freshly cooked for me. I can't compliment the manager and his son enough. They took care of my registration, parking and special requests. My expectations were exceeded. They were both exceptionally kind and friendly and I hope to visit this hotel again one day. This property is excellent. Is it a luxury hotel? No, but guests aren't paying a luxury hotel rate. My room had exactly what I needed and expected. The nightly rate was actually a bit less than I expected to pay. While I was unable to use it during this stay, there is a nice pool for guests. Hopefully on my next visit, I'll be able to take advantage of it. As with the pool, I was unable to visit the beautiful Jaco beach. However, on my next visit, I hope to have time for that, especially since it is just a very, very short walk from the hotel.

Near from the beach, quiet place, good air conditioning, and clean. The best thing about this place was the excellent customer service from Orlando. The restaurant offer a good menu with economic prices . Alex from the restaurant was really nice. Next time I visit Jaco I will stay in this hotel.

Location was fantastic. Close proximity to the beach and central location so easy walking distance to a wide variety of amenities. Property was secure, monitored and felt safe for my family. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

amazing service, extremely clean, right next to the beach, comfy!! good breakfast - the staff were so lovely and friendly, Orlando at the front desk was wonderful. If I’m back in Jaco I’ll stay here again!

Nice accomodation just few meters from the beach, helpful staff and lovely breakfast. During the night there are some raccoons walking on the rooftop making some noise, but it is nature 😁 Pura Vida!

I loved the facilities the pool with the swim up bar is incredible. Breakfast was incredibly beautiful and the service by all we encountered was outstanding. We would definitely stay again.

Massive rooms with great facilities! Lovely pool and swim up bar. Location slightly strange, but only a short walk to the beach and restaurants.

The location is perfect, 3 min drive to beach, or close enough to be shuttled in a golf cart by staff, or walk. Breakfast is included at Pepper’s restaurant- they will happily accommodate for vegan dishes. We had dinner in the restaurant and also dinner delivered to the room. The room is spacious with comfortable beds and a strong ac unit. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Love the pool and swim up bar to relax.

Beautiful new rooms. Well equipped small kitchen. Lovely seating area, and bedroom area. Pool area was good. Roof terrace was lovely especially as there was a very noisy family in the pool, at least we could get away from the noise a little. The on site restaurant was first class. We had a lovely evening meal and two fabulous breakfasts 🍳🍲😃

Everything was great! Room was big, super clean and even smelled awesome. The staff was extremely friendly! You can chill by the pool and order drinks at the pool bar. The food in the restaurant and also the breakfast is very delicious.

El Encanto Condominiums are small but charming, nicely decorated, and very comfortable - and feature both fans and air conditioning. The staff is friendly and helpful - we asked Cindy to arrange 3 tours. The location is close to restaurants, a fruteria and a paneria, and walking distance to the main drag, more restaurants, Pali grocery store, souvenir , clothing, and art shops. The beach is a block from the main street, about 10-12 minutes for a senior citizen. My condo had a fully equipped kitchen, and we cooked a couple of dinners ourselves, as well as enjoying morning coffee & breakfast on one of the courtyard tables. The swimming pool was small but clean and very fun to float or swim around. Inside the condo did have a comfortable dining booth, as well as couches and 3 chairs in a seating area. Cable TV was in the dining area and both bedrooms. We found the beds comfortable to sleep on. The walk-in shower was nice sized; we just had to remember that the warm water was just barely turning the tap on, not all the way.

A nice little apartment with everything we we needed for a two night stay. The pool was great for morning and evening dips. It is within walking distance to the beach, shops, places to eat and bars. The staff were friendly.

Modern, well equipped, lovely little pool, very friendly staff.

Cindy went above and beyond! Amazing host! Super cute property in a great location close to the beach. Fun pool for the kids

Upgraded apartment gave our family lots of extra space to spread out. The area around was quiet and Jaco in general was quieter, more charming, and more fantastic vibe, than expected from reviews I’ve seen. Only those who expect a whole town to be kept up like an all inclusive or Disney would be disappointed. It is a charming real place. Much much nicer than Quepos. We drove there and found it very hot, industrial and busy city feel. Not a beach town. Rocks and no good tourist area.

The property was beautifully maintained and located by a wonderful beach. The pool and the pool bar were just perfect. Terrific food and drinks. The staff assistance and kindness were consistently amazing!! Special mention to David’s assistance @ the front desk, Katalina making and creating terrific cocktails, chats ( and a great margarita!) with the bar manager Oscar , and finally the manager Jason who walks the property keeping an eye out to assure everyone is taken care if. Well done!

This place is so amazing! The staff are so friendly. They get to know you as a person and remember what your preferences are. The pool is beautiful and never crowded. The view of the pool and the ocean is breathtaking. The restaurant has some of the best food I’ve had in CR. And the spa is incredible.

Hotel Club Del Mar was the perfect place for our final stay on a multi-day/multi-stop trip! Right on the beach with fabulous sunset views. Very nice pool and poolside bar with daily drink specials. On-site restaurant had variety of meal options with daily specials and was so good we ate dinner there each night

I can’t say enough good things about Club Del Mar! We just got back and had the best vacation! The property is beautiful, relaxing, and safe. You are close enough to take a short taxi ride to Jaco, but far enough outside of town to feel like you’re in a totally separate place. The pool is never too crowded with plenty of loungers and is just steps away from the beach. The tiki bar is right there, too. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The accommodations were just perfect for us. We had a 2-bedroom condo for our family of five which was very comfortable, and the in-room washer and dryer was a great plus. We had a “garden view” room but still had a beautiful view of the ocean. But probably the best thing about Club Del Mar is the staff. From the minute you arrive, they make you feel completely at home. They go out of their way to be helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Tom, Jason, David, Gustavo, William, Katina, and everyone else are just the nicest people and will help you with anything you need. They will plan all of your activities for you which is so helpful. They set us up with wonderful excursions doing ATVs, ziplining, monkey mangrove tour, and Manuel Antonio day trip. Thank you CDM for making this an unforgettable trip! We will definitely see you again! Pura Vida!

We stayed here for two nights and had a great time. We were in a two bedroom ocean front condo. It was spacious, clean, well decorated, and had a stackable washer dryer which was great for us as we were mid- trip and was nice to have fresh clothes for the remainder of our vacation. We were told the condos were individually owned, so im not sure how the other My kids spent a ton of time on the beach and in the ocean right in front of the property. The beach was black sand, not a lot of people, very clean and swimmable. There was also a nice pool with lounge chairs and an outdoor bar we could order food and drinks from. There are iguanas that hang out around the property which are fun to watch. Service was amazing and staff were so friendly and accommodating. Thank you Jason, Julio, as well as the super sweet lady at the bar whose name I’m sorry has escaped me.

Las Brisas is a charming little place, a bit off the beaten path, just a few miles south of Jaco. My daughter and I stayed there for a week and we were very happy with our experience. The free breakfasts are excellent. The pool is lovely and well-kept. The rooms are not particularly large, but they are in good shape, clean and comfortable. In addition, the owners are very friendly and work hard to take care of their guests. Rachelle arranged several tours for us as well as surfing lessons and rides to and from the airport. We had no complaints at all! If you are looking for a $300/night hotel with a pool bar, lots of people and loud music - this is not it! But, if you are looking for a quiet, enjoyable, well-kept and very affordable place to unwind, relax and soak up the wonderful Costa Rican weather - this is the place!

We stayed in one of the three villas with a full kitchen, two bedrooms and one bath. Easy access to the pool and a bar area. I’m addition to the villas there are rooms surrounding the pool but it’s a very cozy, intimate area completely surrounded by tropical plants. The staff were very sweet, most spoke English. The kitchen has adequate supplies but you will need to buy coffee, paper towels, condiments, etc. Breakfast was included and quite good with plenty of choices.

Owned by Britains who had lived in the states for many years . They are on site at all times. Rooms are comfortable. Pool is clean. We were there on the 4th and they even made us hamburgers for lunch. Gracious hosts. Quiet area and relaxing. It is up a dirt road going towards the mountain on the south side of Hermosa Beach.. Close to Jaco,, but not so close you hear the noise! The only issue was that is was school break and some parents let their children be in the pool alone .

The staff and accomodations at Las Brisas are amazing. Wonderful quiet pool area. Would stay here again anytime! We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa. It was huge. Was awesome to have our own outdoor area as well. Very private. Loved it here. The staff were wonderful. The breakfast was outstanding. Would love to come back again some day. P.s. The only thing that could have been better, was if they served blender drinks at the bar by the pool. Pina Coladas etc. Thank u for the wonderful hospitality.

It was perfect for our family. The room was large enough for the kids to move around. There was a little kitchen to use (no cooking, but fridge, bowls, silverware, etc.). The staff was pretty nice. Some were super nice and others a bit more stoic, but still very helpful. The pool was perfect for our kids (ages 7 and 10). The breakfasts were great with excellent choices. It is a beautiful little spot. We liked it so much we want to go back. In fact we'd love to take family with us. Overall, for a family, it had everything we wanted and more. It seems like this place wants you to feel at home and will bend over backwards to do it. It's not on the beach, but only two minutes by car from the beach. The neighborhood is funky, but safe. It is easy to find. There are some fun restaurants nearby (we dislike Jaco very much, but it was great to be close enough to Jaco to go to the grocery store and then leave quickly). Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
