Great spot on the beach in Jaco. Good food, good staff, rooms are nice. Getting towels to shower daily is a pain in the ass. Free breakfast is average.

The beach area was magnificent! But the outside of the hotel looks low quality. The bathroom feels and looks almost like a prison, the ceiling had black mold and the paint was chipping bad near the a/c unit.

The location was great. On the quieter end of the beach which was nice. If the hotel put a little money into the place it would go a long way

I was disappointed by south beach this time. Wifi was only available in and around room, then had to switch to a iffy one when eating. Alsobif booking by a third party not guaranteed the room you paid for. Probably wouldn't go back

Buyer beware! The place is in disrepair, and could easily be a nice facility. The pictures are NOT indicative of the property; we thought our room would be overlooking the pool, but there is a whole section completely unattached to the main rooms, and that's where we were put. Again..... NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES!!! The bathroom was gross, room was very old and small, ceiling fan was dirty, and the doors and windows were unsafe. Would not recommend.

Avoid this property

Hotel really needs some upgrading. Pictures are deceiving. No toilet seats in womans bathrooms of reception and bar. No blankets, only sheets, Lock on door busted, room smells musty, towels soiled, pool cloudy, really disappointed.
