Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in San Jose

Beautiful! Loved jungle walk to the beach. We loved the pools & our suite. We had a small private pool with our room just for us! Nice bars & restaurant. Golf cart service and luggage storage. The staff is very nice.

Pretty much everything - comfortable room with a nice ocean view, friendly staff, good food, nice pool, access to the beach.

Breakfast was great everyday. White face monkeys were a common site, especially at breakfast. The dinners at the restaurant were top notch and reasonably priced for a resort. Our servers Carlos, Marcos, Francella and William were are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My wife is celiac and they went above and beyond to make sure her food was safe and delicious. Our room had a private pool with a beautiful view that my kids used every day. The beach was a five minute hike from the property, quiet and beautiful!

The animals around, was more worth it than going to Manuel Antonio Park, I saw a tucano, a lizard, a sloth, monkeys everywhere… including my varanda ! Cocktails at happy hour 2 for 1. The pool is not heated, but was warm enough, during day and night. Pool and restaurant with a view. Great option of a second pool with no kids. Beautiful architecture, great food at breakfast (pancakes and eggs from scratch) and dinner. The hotel is on a hill, but a golf car took us up any time needed.

Loved staying here, the adults pools especially is really nice with a bar serving food and drinks. Having access to Biesanz beach through the hotel was a selling point to us, where we went and relaxed and swam in the mornings with not too many people. Be careful it’s a steep 10min walk down, the walk back up could be tough for someone less fit! Same goes with the grounds itself, it’s located on a very steep hill to go up to the restaurant and pool but they have golf carts to help you. Staff were really lovely. Lots of wildlife around including a big group of monkeys that came down to the pool area one night. The views from breakfast were fab.

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.

We stay at a lot of nice hotels all over the world, Four Seasons Tokyo and Maui, Hotel Ritz in Paris, etc. Though that is not what this Marriott is, I would say I enjoyed it equally to those experiences. This hotel has amazing charm, it is spotless, and the people who work here are genuinely kind, interested and engaged. The rooms are spacious and modern while keeping the old world charm accents. I read many reviews complaining of noise or thin walls? We did not experience this (had 2 rooms adjoining on the 4th floor). In my experience, everything about this hotel was respectful of others, no activities went late. The one bar/restaurant that was open the latest (besides the very lovely coffee shop/gift shop) was only open until 11pm and was far from loud or rowdy in any way. The pools are very clean - when it’s windy, leaves blow in. They choose the best times to clean each pool after the winds die down. Nothing here was dirty or unkempt. The food in all restaurants is well priced and delicious. The accommodating attitude of staff is obvious (one night we wanted to eat at the steakhouse which does not have patio dining so instead we sat at a restaurant that offered patio dining and the steakhouse menu was offered fed to us). The entire staff was great, but a nod to Johan and Alan at Bar 10 who gave us tips on our next stops in Costa Rica and were excellent bartenders and servers .

Congrats This is without a doubt the best Marriott hotel we have been to. The grounds are amazingly beautiful and well kept. The staff made our stay so enjoyable. They were always attentive and helpful. Not one time did I hear a NO. Very polite. The restaurants served large portions and were well worth the prices. Some observations: The sliding doors to the bathrooms are useless and make noise. The gardeners should use electric tools around the pool and rooms. Some of the toilets in pool Area are toooo small and wet ones. I would turn the driving range into a 9 hole pitch and put. Overall a wonderful stay. Norman R Wright Flynn. Room 460. Jan 4-9 2025

We were there a little less than 24hours. I wanted to experience the outdoors not just sleep in a bed. Loved the grounds the pool and the noise of the birds.even had late lunch by the pool!!!!!!!!!!!,

As the title implies, this place saved our stay in Costa Rica! Having never been to CR before, we assumed that staying closer to San Jose would get us the best bang for our buck; so we decided to stay at the Sheraton. Nice hotel, but everything that we picked the hotel for (rooftop restaurant, swimming pool, executive lounge) were all under construction. We stayed 1 night and decided that we had to relocate. Also, the location was not so great either; the biggest benefit was the hotel is located within walking distance of a nice mall. So, we arrived at the Hacienda Belen, and just entering onto the driveway made me feel things are looking up already. Reception had a room ready for us upon arrival, ad immediately after check-in we were met in the lobby by the Manager (Caleb Samudio), who took us on a walk through of the property, had our bags delivered to our room, and introduced us to members of the staff whom we could contact for whatever...WOW! The hotel itself is beautiful, and the grounds are maintained at a vey high level. Throughout our stay (6 days), we interacted with many members of the staff, all of whom were personable and professional. A special shout out to the team in the executive lounge and the housekeeping team. The cost was a little more than the Sheraton, but Totally Worth It! WE have found a home away from home in Costa Rica.

What an absolutely stunning hotel! I stayed here for two nights at the end of my Costa Rica adventure. After traveling around the country for seven days, my goal was to find a comfortable, clean, and relaxing place to wind down before returning home (without having to leave the hotel- PSA: I previously stayed in downtown San Jose and didn't feel very safe walking around—do your research!). The hotel and its grounds are breathtaking, featuring two pools, a hot tub, plenty of chairs and tables for sunbathing, a driving range, and several dining options. I dined at three of the onsite restaurants, and all of them were excellent. The cocktails were delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and kind! I spent an afternoon at the Kuo Spa, enjoying the hot tub, steam room, sauna, and an excellent massage. This hotel was the perfect choice for me as I didn't plan on leaving the premises, and there was plenty to do right there! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay in the sun, or who needs to kill some time before a flight home!

Incredibly beautiful facilities and immaculately presented room. Every need and indulgence was catered for with diligent and friendly staff. The private pool at our villa was a real bonus, where we had daily wildlife coming to visit! A magical place to stay.

The Hotel is amazing, great design in the room, the restaurant and and the pools. It was a great stay, the pool is perfect, with monkeys just around the pool jumping (not annoying or dangerous)

Wonderful pool and poolside bar. Clean. Comfy beds. Nice outlook. Short walk to a lovely beach. Free sunscreen available at the pool is a nice touch.

The rooms and pools are beautiful, and the property is near the area’s best beaches. We appreciated that the property provided sunscreen and bug spray. The staff are all very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a good experience while we were staying at the property. We enjoyed a very good wine dinner at Arbol restaurant, and we enjoyed the drinks we ordered at poolside bars.

Everything! The design is done with incredibly good taste. The location/plot is full of wildlife. We went to 5 tours prior to our stay here to see wildlife and we saw less than what is on site (all types of monkeys, birds, sloths from close proximity, etc). The beach is also nice, black sand, but we preferred to stay at the pools. The rooms are fabulous and designed with impeccable taste. Regarding the restaurant, we often go to these elegant hotels but usually the restaurant does not stand up to the hotels. This is NOT the case for Arbol. The restaurant, Arbol, was great: breakfast, lunch and dinner, it was so good we ate all meals there! It is refined and delicious. Staff is also extremely attentive and helpful. The gym is small but sufficient for 1-2 trainings. We will definitely come back.

Our bungalow was in a beautiful setting with well maintained gardens, good pool. Access to Atenas by taxi was easy, costing about $2-3 each way. The restaurant was good, the food tasty. Douglas and Frank went out of their way to help us with forward travel arrangements. The only suggestion we have would be that the shower tiles be made nonslip.

Beautiful place, the pool is so well maintained. The front of the bungalow faced the pool making it feel very quiet and tropical. Loved that there was yoga in the morning.

We arrived late after a long day of travel with two children. We had been traveling throughout Costa Rica for the past week and were looking for a place to stay after leaving Jaco and within an hour of San Jose Airport. Everyone was very friendly, hospitable and welcoming. The food was delicious. Service was great. Our room was was quaint, clean and relaxing. Needed a few extra blankets for the children and they were more than happy to get those for us. Room and especially the Bathroom was very nice and clean. We wish we could have arrived earlier to enjoy the pool during the day and maybe stayed and extra day. The sharp left turn getting off the road from Jaco, threw us off a bit, but trust your Waze app. Hotel Colinas is tucked away in a cozy little spot with nice grounds with plants and trees. We would like to say thank you to the folks there with our late evening dinner.

The hotel is located very close to Atenas and in a lush garden environment. The owner and staff could not be more accommodating. The food was delicious. The pool was large and clean. And the room was a good deal for the inexpensive cost. The surrounding gardens teem with wildlife including interesting birds that build large nests hanging from the palm trees. We'll be back!

Just stayed here one night before flight out next morning. Seems pleasant, wish we could have enjoyed the pool. Had dinner and breakfast . Dinner was good, a little pricier than we found at most other restaurants in CR. Breakfast was included, few selections of some meats, scrambled eggs, fruit, toast and juices and coffee and teas.

my goodness!!!!!!!! My experience was FABULOUS. 1st off if they've received a negative review I can't imagine why it must be a total nasayer. In my experience my room was quite lovely. Everything was impeccably clean the television was amazing the sliding glass doors with the view of the golf course was amazing both of the beds were perfectly made and extremely comfortable with nice linen. The towels were presented so nicely everything was fresh and clean. The little kitchen at with the microwave and refrigerator coffee maker was awesome the water pressure was excellent and with hot water. I really like how they have the bathroom separated with the sliding glass door. They're simple little details in the room that are obviously Upgraded ifelt modern. Unfortunately I came on a rainy day but I did still use the pool even though it was cold because I was so excited for it. It's a darling pool just big enough. I left for the airport too early for breakfast but I hear good things. I enjoyed the room so much that it decided to order in the gentleman at the desk assisted me with ordering Uber eats and delivered it to my room with all my tableware. I thought everybody there was just exceptional. The parking is extremely secure you need to let them know that you are going to take a space because it is behind huge gate. If you need to park on the road I do feel as if this neighborhood is exceptionally safe and I don't see an issue with parking on the street if nehad

This was our third visit to this beautiful boutique hotel. This is a stunning property with unique round rooms, and a beautiful Greek portico around the lovely pool. We were happy to find that the hotel is within east walking distance to regional bus lines, from which to see back-country Costa Rica. Hernan was gracious to hold our bags for an overnight trip to the country. On our second trip, we enjoyed the hotel as a home away from home, cooling off in the pool, and walking to the nearby mall with a variety of restaurants to choose from. The staff is attentive and friendly.

The Hotel Cariari is a hidden gem. Located minutes from the airport in a quiet neighborhood, this treasure is more like a boutique, Bed-and-Breakfast than a hotel. Relax in the refreshing pool, enjoy the view, delight in the custom-prepared breakfast, and chat with the knowledgeable and friendly staff.... all are options here. I stayed in room 104 which was adjacent to the pool with large doors that opened to the view of nearby mountains. Everything was clean, extremely well-appointed, and smooth. They arranged for airport pickup too! Just wow!

Beautiful, private property in a lovely neighborhood, a short drive to the airport. Walking distance to several excellent restaurants and a high end grocery. The rooms were quiet, clean, modern, and very comfortable, with lovely amenities. Breakfast was delicious and so generous. The courtyard and pool area are a relaxing place to unwind after a long journey or time spent in the downtown area of San Jose. The couple who hosted us was exceptionally welcoming, and gave us suggestions with maps for where to eat, and places to go (and not go) downtown. We loved staying here and are so thankful for this experience-- will come again when we return to San Jose!

This boutique hotel was a perfect place to stay for our first night in Costa Rica, it is conveniently located close to the airport and down the street from many dining options and a Fresh Market grocery store. If your plans include staying in town, this place is a great little oasis. The property is very well maintained. The staff is very courteous and professional. If you have kids that can swim, the pool has a slide they’ll love!

Shana is definitely better than the other hotel we stayed at. The playa biseanz is a wonderful beach with iguana’s and crab’s and clear water. We got a Royal jungle view with private pool - I would say the room and the bathroom were amazing but the private is outside and not connected to your room. We had to call front desk every time to turn the pool on and the lights didn't work which becomes dark to swim after sunset. The breakfast was amazing and all the facilities were provided. Overall I would say Shana is a top-class hotel and it is worth the price to stay.

This property is built into a steep hill overlooking the ocean. It is beautiful - a bit difficult to navigate getting in and out with your vehicle, but very doable. The pool area and restaurant are absolutely beautiful. The breakfast provided is amazing and if you go early (between 6 and 7) you will see the white faced monkeys trying to partake in the breakfast as well - haha! The pool has a great bar with some wonderful drinks. The mistake we made was getting there on a Monday evening not realizing the Manuel Antonio is closed on Tuesdays. You can go to the beach and shops around the park, just not go into the park on Tuesday. We did come back and enjoyed it on our last day and it is a flatter well manicured park with fantastic beaches inside the park - it is flat enough that you can tour with sandals instead of hiking shoes. If you can buy your tickets to the park online ahead of time, then you can avoid those people trying to make you pull over if you are driving to the park. There is a parking lot very close to the park and we had to just make up stories to get those people to stop bugging us about pulling over and parking. In the end we did get a space in the very close official lot and a great tour guide. The staff was very attentive and helpful with everything - however, we felt that the area that you book tours was not well organized and they didn't really help us with the questions we asked. We just embarked on our own and had a great time anyway!

Shana's location was excellent: close to a wonderful beach accessible from the property, and a short (though hilly) walk to Manuel Antonio town. Our party had two rooms with ocean views that were close together. They were, bright, clean, nicely appointed, and comfortable. There are two pool areas, but we only discovered the adult pool towards the end of our stay (would have used it more.) We really enjoyed the views from the open-air restaurant and witnessed monkeys there a few times. Overall, the food selection was good and whatever we ordered was tasty. We particularly liked the breakfast buffet. A shout out to Javier, Andre, Edgar, and Lizandro for their excellent service. Be sure to catch the beautiful sunset views from the property!

Our stay was so wonderful! It was the perfect location to have easy access to beach pool and the rainforest. The staff were so helpful and kind. There was great wildlife to see right from the hotel at the right times of day! We had just a few minor recommendations- please provide a couple more bath towels, install a door sweep under the door (there was a small gap and we had a gecko roommate one night) and more hooks in the room for towels and wet items! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the jungle room with semiprivate pool that was cool and shaded.

We stayed at the Shana for a week over spring break. Everything about it was wonderful. The staff, the beach, the pool, the breakfast. we saw more wildlife on the hotel proper than we did in Manuel Antonio National Park. The monkeys were daily entertainment. There is a sloth that hangs out in a tree by the adult pool and a set of scarlet macaws that will fly in every day. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

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.

Charming hotel Small but nice pool, great decking with bar and restaurant Loved the howler monkeys in the early am Spider monkeys come onto the deck! However we stayed In the house across the hiway: private pool, great access to the beach.. but the main shower is in terrible disrepair.. the flimsy old doors come right off!

The staff were amazing. We found the food really good in the restaurant. Close to the beach and a little town with some bars and restaurants. Monkeys everyday. Nice bar and plunge pool. There are quite a few families. The Karahe bar will let you sit at their tables and chairs on the beach for free. Just be aware that their drinks are a little more expensive, in order to cover this.

This is a great location for access to Manual Antonio and the beaches, short drive to Quepos for Sportfishing etc. We got the suite with the most beds they had (3 doubles and a twin), the little kitchen, and balcony chill spot. Don't expect North Coast level 5 star bathrooms and king size beds, duh. This would be a perfect spring break room for 5 college buddies surfing and fishing for a month. Um, can I do that again, no, I'm a 55 year old father of 3. :-) There's a bar built into it that brought back great college memories. The closed door separate room with bathroom was shared by all. It's a funky layout that I immediately started redesigning, but I had to let it go. It's Costa Rica, Pura Vida, crack an Imperial and get down with your bad self. I would have made the closed door room a big old King Bed for mama and papa, and put an extra bunk bed in the other room and voila, "family suite," charge and extra $100, people will pay it. The cool off pool and restaurant are top notch and the crew is all over the parking situation, guiding you in and out of parking safely. Believe me, you don't want to drive your rental car to Manuel Antonio and the Beaches and park, especially within 2 weeks either side of Easter. Short walk to either the "private" beach with more locals or down the road to the Manuel Antonio shops and beaches. The plumbing and hot water are serviceable, a little tricky to keep it the right temp, but you're in Costa Rica remember? Pura Vida!

LOVE THIS PLACE! Pictures don't do it justice. Its much nicer in person. Its the perfect jungle / beach hotel. Literally! I extended my stay by 3 more nights and didn't want to leave! It was really great. The rooms are big, clean and comfy. Quiet area in the jungle with monkeys everyday. Just a short 5 min walk to the beach and 10 mins to the park. The restaurant is open al day long and the pool is the perfect size and refreshing. Staff were great. Everything is great! Im a pretty picky person when it comes to my hotels but I would highly recommend and would stay again!

Had a great 5 night stay at the Jungle Beach. During our stay, we saw white-face monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and howler monkeys (yes, they are loud and will wake you up bright and early if you are a light sleeper), as well as deer and macaws. The hotel is a short walk to the beach and a 15 minute walk to the national park. The hotel bar and restaurant were great. We got breakfast, lunch, and dinner there as well as happy hour drinks. The pool is small, but a good to dip your feet in. Great option for the value.

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!

If you are looking for breathtaking jungle mountain views with the ocean shimmering in the distance while you're being pampered in the lap of luxury, then this is your place. My husband and I spent 10 days here on our long overdue honeymoon (after 15 years of marriage), and we loved every minute. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and beyond accommodating. Our villa was absolutely beautiful, while still modern, and was cleaned twice a day while we were out on adventures or at dinner. Our villa's private plunge pool and wooden deck were perfect for just soaking in the incredibly scenery, watching Toucans in the trees, and listening to the howler monkeys. The food is delicious, and we were spoiled every meal! There is SO much do in the surrounding area, which isn't super touristy. The resort works with the local guides to create your itinerary for your stay, and are always ready to organize transportation, or hand you towels or water on your way off to your next adventure. Please just do it! You will only regret not being able to stay longer.

Rancho Pacifico exceeded all my expectations… My husband and I had a wonderful two week stay in their Villa Romantico complete with private plunge pool! The villa itself was lovely with a beautiful view of the famous whale tail beach from the deck area. The staff were extremely attentive at all times and the food was exquisitely prepared! We did several day trip excursions that Rancho Pacifico offered and all were seamless in terms of transportation, itinerary and the guides provided. The hotel is located high up on the mountain overlooking the beautiful Uvita Peninsula and is simply idyllic!

Rancho Pacifico is an absolute gem — our second annual Reclamation Retreat was nothing short of magical. This five-star boutique hotel offers breathtaking ocean and jungle views, creating the perfect sanctuary for deep rest and renewal. The villas exude luxury and comfort, while the infinity pool and spa provide an unparalleled sense of nourishment. Every meal was a culinary masterpiece, thanks to the world-class chef and thoughtfully curated menu. The staff’s attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel truly cared for at every turn. From the lush landscape to the impeccable service, Rancho Pacifico is an oasis of beauty, tranquility, and five-star excellence. We can’t wait to return! Shondra Leigh

We live in San Jose and have been hearing about about RP for years as the perfect getaway for a busy couple to escape for a much needed break. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty - and never left the property for the couple of days we were there. There really was no need to. All of the meals - especially the special private dinner we had at poolside - were extraordinary. It was peaceful, dramatic and unlike any other hotel we've ever visited.....we think the best in Costa Rica.

Aside from the fact that the view is amazing, the whole resort is modern and beautifully designed. The hand selected staff are personable, talented and made our stay special. We loved that Rancho Pacifico is quiet, private, and permitted us to experience living in a two-story home located in the middle of the jungle with our own pool, patio and no else around.

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!

The views were stunning! Beautiful infinity pool and the condo had everything you would need. Cute condo and so quiet. We saw a monkey and a toucan at the pool. Nathalie was an awesome hostess and made us feel so welcome. The directions to the condo were excellent. We will go back. 😎

The standard of this property is very high!! Nathalie is very responsive and helpful answering any questions and offering advice on things to do. We ended up driving to the accommodation later than planned so arrived in the dark. This was pretty cool as we got to see the apartment and be amazed, then the next morning we were able to see the amazing views out across the rainforest, the view from the infinity pool is very special. During our stay we saw Toucans and lizards in the tree by the pool. I would certainly stay here again if I ever make it back to Costa Rica.

We chose the smaller studio, which is a bit hard to spot in the pictures (Casa Jungle), but it’s difficult to put into words just how great it was. Over the past month, we’ve been traveling along the Costa Rican coast and stayed in over 20 accommodations, but this one is by far the best. It features a fully equipped kitchen, a king-size bed, and an epic view. The pool is the cherry on top, but overall, this spot is absolutely worth traveling for.

One of the most beautiful locations we’ve ever stayed in. Great utensils in the kitchen and all towels/sheets smelt lovely. We saw squirrel monkeys from our kitchen window and I don’t think we’ve ever swam in a pool with better views, completely immersed in the wildlife. Wilbert was a fantastic help and our stay would not have been the same without him.

This place is simply amazing. I wish we could stay longer. Such a peaceful and calm environment, well maintained gardens, fantastic pool. So much wildlife- we could hear hundreds of birds all the time. Good restaurants and beaches just a few minutes away. The communication was also so easy. Wilbert has been amazing, very kind and helpful. We will definitely be back one day.

We were the only guests in this immense villa, amazing views over the city, pool, gardens, cooking facilities. A little bit hard to find specially at night. Great stay

El lugar ofrece una vista impresionante a San Jose. El personal es muy amable y tiene muy buena disposicion. La habitacion estaba limpia y era simple pero confortable, con ventilador y tv cable. El hotel tiene buen acceso a internet en las areas comunes y una cocina amplia para cocinar. Tambien una piscina que no pude disfrutar porque no hacia tanto calor. Si visitas Costa Rica, no recomiendo mas de una noche en san jose. Hay muchos lugares que ofrecen mejores atractivos que ver que la capital.

Fue maravilloso el hotel superó mis expectativas la casa de lujo verdaderamente le da honor a su nombre todos mis familiares y amigos les fascinó. La vista al valle central bellisimo. No cabe duda que regresaremos una y otra vez si Dios así lo permite. Don Guillermo el encargado fue sin duda nuestra persona favorita estuvo pendiente en todo momento siempre listo para ayudar el trato fue excelente. Recomiendo el lugar un 100% no tengo nada malo que decir, mas que ya quiero regresar.

En realidad el rotulo afuera dice B&B y no dice Hotel, pero no es muy importante. El B&B es MUY bonito, con habitaciones grandes y limpias. Hay piscina común y un mirador estupendo, sobre todo de noche. El precio es excelente por tanta calidad.

The view from the hotel is georgeous. The rooms don't really have a window to the outside, they open to the commune area. First night of stay was ok, but second night someone was watching TV very loud until late. : (

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.

The hotel portal colonial is a very nice, family run hotel. The rooms are spacious with air conditioning and a free breakfast. The property is safe, secure and quiet with a pool. It is walking distance to many stores and restaurants. It is a great place to stay.
