Paradise Jaco Beach Front

The rooms are a little dated. But, it’s beachfront, the pools are nice, the bar and dining area is nice, the restaurant is top notch, breakfast, lunch and dinner are very good. Parking is convenient. The staff is great. I go to Jacó a few times a year and I doubt I’ll ever stay anywhere else again.

Yes

I was dumbfounded with this hotel after reading the reviews. I can't possibly understand if I was at the same hotel as the ones who wrote recent reviews. We booked four nights. First of all they offer "free self parking". Well the hotel is on the public beach and the public beach has parking which is always full especially at night. Lucky if you can park anywhere near the hotel and you have to park on dark side streets at night way away from the hotel. The room was incredibly run down. The balcony door lock was broken which made the room totally unsecure. The hot water was scarce and the drain was partially clogged. The internet was horrible and kept going in and out. Only one plug in the entire room worked and to charge your phone you had to unplug the TV to use it. The coffee machine was brand new, never used, until I realized that this was because the TV outlet was high up on the wall and the plug could not reach this TV outlet, so it was useless. The beds and the linens were very clean however. The pictures on the website of the pool were deceptive. What was missing in the photos was that the pool was packed with people and children all day. It was impossible to even attempt to swim in it. I would characterize it as a "kiddie wading pool". Every chair around the pool was occupied so there was no where to sit.

No hot water for even shaving A/C constantly leaked water - therefore always a large puddle Extremely small room Room had a poor feeling. I moved out after 3 days as the room depressed me. I should receive a full refund

Staff was friendly and accommodating, the restaurant had delicious food and you can't beat the location right across from the beach. I would've given five stars but the suite I stayed in needed an update and/or replacement of the jacuzzi. I was unable to use it because stuff kept coming out of the jets. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay
