What guests think
At Bird of Paradise Hotel, guests often highlight a central, walkable location near the beach, generally clean grounds and rooms, a pleasant pool area, small and simple rooms, friendly staff, and a very basic breakfast with limited variety.
Many appreciate the quiet setting and strong air conditioning, while multiple reviews note a limited or sporadically operating bar and extra fees for on-site parking. Service is widely praised as helpful, though a few guests reported unfriendly or unresponsive interactions and strict check-out or charging policies. Housekeeping during stays appears on-request rather than automatic for some guests, and breakfast timing and options can be inconsistent. Expect a no-frills, well-located base for beach time and exploring Jaco.

located very close to beach. 3 minute walk to beach. they had a bar but really was not open and they didn't have anything to order expect bear which was limited too. I did not find the staff too friendly. at check out, i felt i was treated like a crook as they had someone check to make sure we did not take any towels or anything else. i will not recommend this place or stay here again.

Good location. Located on the main strip about a block from the beach. Very basic hotel but is clean and staff is friendly. I was expecting VIP benefits that come with VIP Access but I was told my room was bigger which it looked just like a regular room and I received a bike rental for free. It didn’t feel like an upgrade.

Nice hotel & clean however, the breakfast is not a true breakfast. It’s fruit and coffee. You need to pay for parking which is something you need to clearly read at the bottom. Towels for the pool are not free. You need to pay/for sale. You need to request room service as they don’t do daily cleaning service. Only when you check out they clean. Some of the staff were not friendly.

We loved staying there. Walking distance to the center of Jaco. The room and the bathroom were clean and in great conditions. They have a good pool. It has been the cleanest we have seen in our trip. I would recommend staying there if you want to stay in Jaco for a couple of days.

Really liked the location and place was clean. Jose was a big help and super informational at the front desk. We were able to ask questions and get information from him. The hotel itself was great. 3 minute walk to the beach. They have a pool and bar well kept and lawn games to play at night.

Very nice place right on the main strip in Jaco. It’s on the quieter side which was a plus (no nightclub right next door but plenty 2-3 min walking). Pool was nice and they even had cornhole and two levels of dining area. Roger provided the hands down best service we’ve ever gotten while traveling. If there was anything off, he would immediately take care of it. Wish the bar was more operational and there was music playing by the pool, but those are pretty minor things. Beds were comfortable, and the AC worked great. Would recommend Bird of Paradise

Tres joli hôtel idéal pour une famille, la piscine était très agréable. Le matin ils servent du café, des fruits et des snack c’était très agréable. Par contre je trouve très étonnant que lors de notre séjour, pas une fois une femme de ménage n’est passée pour vider les poubelles.

This is a basic but reliable, clean and comfortable hotel. It my second stay. The most important thing about this hotel is that it quiet. It is about 100m from the main street so it is super quiet. Hotels on main street have severe noise issues. This is not a hotel you linger in. You sleep, shower and leave. The rooms are VERY small so you can't really hang out in them. But you can go out to beach or restaurants/coffee nearby. Pool is clean. Breakfast is very basic but many places nearby. Bed is comfortable. AC is great. The only issue is that hot water for shower might not be reliable but I waites for a while and it was warm enough. This is due to solar powered water heater. I had another issue with shower head. Next morning they replaced it. You can contact them on WhatsApp with issues and they reply promptly. Security is tight but someone is present 24/7. Give them the key when you leave and get it back when you return. Front desk helped me get a large taxi no issue. Although the room is small there are many chairs and tables just outside the room you can hang out at.

They ripped us off. Stole from us. Kicked us out to the streets and refused to call the cops after being robbed and everything taken from us in front of there office. Never once cleaned our room. Charged our card without asking. List goes on. Will be filing on them. Would not stay there if it was free.

Had a stopover in my way south. This cute little hotel is very close to the beach but far enough away from the bars I had a restful night. Staff was amazing have no clue what the negative reviews were about. Room was small but pretty with custom furnishings. My back feels great which is unusual for Costa Rica hotels. Has been recently remodel as evident by new floor to ceiling tiled bathroom with clean grout. Pillows were too firm for my neck but that was the ONLY minor complete. AC was silent and super cold.

This was the perfect option for us as best friends travelling to Jaco. From booking, to check in, to check out…we were very well looked after. Communication was excellent when arranging transportation or enquiring about the local area. The hotel felt like our own personal oasis, many times having the pool or our back patio all to ourselves. Even the other travellers we met there were super friendly and happy to be there too. I can’t say enough about the hard working staff, always smiling and eager to help. Daniel from the reception was an instant friend, with a warm and welcoming smile after a long day of travelling. The wonderful owners were on site for a part of our visit, and we had a blast talking and learning about their experiences too. Salt of the earth people that really care and appreciate your time spent there. Yes that’s you guys Paula, Tina and Chuck. Thank you so much. I cannot wait to come back to Bird of Paradise. Pura Vida 🙏

The price is too high and the service cannot keep up. Although it was the weekend, there were very few customers. The rooms on the first floor have windows but they cannot be opened, so they have to rely on air conditioning. I only stayed there for one night and the air conditioner broke. Suddenly there was a constant noise and I called the person on duty and asked him if I could change rooms as it was too loud. very scary. He said he needed to ask his boss or someone for instructions and left and never came back

Suddenly there was a constant noise and I called the person on duty and asked him if I could change rooms as it was too loud. very scary. He said he needed to ask his boss or someone for instructions and left and never came back

This is a basic but reliable, clean and comfortable hotel. It my second stay. The most important thing about this hotel is that it quiet. It is about 100m from the main street so it is super quiet. Hotels on main street have severe noise issues. This is not a hotel you linger in. You sleep, shower and leave. The rooms are VERY small so you can't really hang out in them. But you can go out to beach or restaurants/coffee nearby. Pool is clean. Breakfast is very basic but many places nearby. Bed is comfortable. AC is great. The only issue is that hot water for shower might not be reliable but I waites for a while and it was warm enough. This is due to solar powered water heater. I had another issue with shower head. Next morning they replaced it. You can contact them on WhatsApp with issues and they reply promptly. Security is tight but someone is present 24/7. Give them the key when you leave and get it back when you return. Front desk helped me get a large taxi no issue. Although the room is small there are many chairs and tables just outside the room you can hang out at.

The room was basic with a bed, bathroom and TV but met my needs overall. The staff is remarkable and the pool came in handy after a long day of hiking. The place is close to everything and centrally located.

Really liked the location and place was clean. Jose was a big help and super informational at the front desk. We were able to ask questions and get information from him. The hotel itself was great. 3 minute walk to the beach. They have a pool and bar well kept and lawn games to play at night.

Very nice place right on the main strip in Jaco. It’s on the quieter side which was a plus (no nightclub right next door but plenty 2-3 min walking). Pool was nice and they even had cornhole and two levels of dining area. Roger provided the hands down best service we’ve ever gotten while traveling. If there was anything off, he would immediately take care of it. Wish the bar was more operational and there was music playing by the pool, but those are pretty minor things. Beds were comfortable, and the AC worked great. Would recommend Bird of Paradise

Dining
Breakfast is very basic with limited and sometimes repetitive options (often fruit, sandwiches, or muffins). Start times and offerings can be inconsistent, and several guests chose nearby restaurants instead.

Tres joli hôtel idéal pour une famille, la piscine était très agréable. Le matin ils servent du café, des fruits et des snack c’était très agréable. Par contre je trouve très étonnant que lors de notre séjour, pas une fois une femme de ménage n’est passée pour vider les poubelles.

Right in the heart of Jaco. Beach & restaurants are right there. Swimming pool. Staff was relaxed & 24/7. Only issue was breakfast. Ham & cheese panini &juice every morning No choices. The best breakfast restaurant in Costa Rica is next door.

Feel the property was not as represented: Room was very small, the breakfast was pancakes and fruit, no washcloth in the bath, overall, just not what was expected.

Nice hotel & clean however, the breakfast is not a true breakfast. It’s fruit and coffee. You need to pay for parking which is something you need to clearly read at the bottom. Towels for the pool are not free. You need to pay/for sale. You need to request room service as they don’t do daily cleaning service. Only when you check out they clean. Some of the staff were not friendly.

Trevligt litet hotell med alldeles för ointresserad personal. Rent och snyggt. Frukosten var väldigt enkel, ibland bara sötsaker och frukt. Frukosten skulle öppna 07,30 men dröjde någon dag till 08,00.

We loved staying there. Walking distance to the center of Jaco. The room and the bathroom were clean and in great conditions. They have a good pool. It has been the cleanest we have seen in our trip. I would recommend staying there if you want to stay in Jaco for a couple of days.

Good location. Located on the main strip about a block from the beach. Very basic hotel but is clean and staff is friendly. I was expecting VIP benefits that come with VIP Access but I was told my room was bigger which it looked just like a regular room and I received a bike rental for free. It didn’t feel like an upgrade.
