This is a beautiful property there is a store close for snacks u can walk to right outside the gate, breakfast and lunch was amazing too! They are a dog friendly property which was nice but we had a small yappy dog that started in at 7am! And the shower was broke it is a dated property but will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay! Jordan at the front desk was the absolute best—helpful, friendly, and full of great recommendations that made our trip even better. The grounds were beautiful, almost like staying in a jungle, and the pool was gorgeous. Just wish the bar had been opened. The location was very convenient and just a short drive to town. We also felt very safe, especially with the beautiful guard dog on the property. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend!

The interior of the hotel is like a resort with a nice pool, lots of trees and very beautiful. But the hot tub doesn’t have hot water. The rooms are spacious but needs a bit upkeep like there is some sort of smell in the rooms, so have to keep a/c running. It feels like you are living in the nature which is very nice. The reception closes at 7 but there is security 24*7 and the facility is close gated, so very safe. Near by area is okay. Close to the Jaco downtown. 5 mins drive. Overall nice place to relax.

Good value if you're looking for a relatively quiet place in a garden setting close to but away from Jaco center. 24/7 security is good. Breakfast is fresh but the same every day. Not sure if it's different on the weekend but I don't believe the onsite restaurant serves lunch or dinner. Plenty of dining options nearby. The room was mostly clean. Some mold or mildew on the nightstand lamp cord. Hot water is limited and seems like it may be shared between the two duplex units. My son had mostly cold showers. I was more fortunate when showering early in the day or later in the evening. The pool is quite nice but there's limited seating and people tend to leave their stuff to "hold" it. The hot tub wasn't hot or working when we tried it. We saw the jets working for others but not sure of the temperature. Standing under the pool's waterfall offers a nice massage. Idiot guests feed the monkeys which has made them aggressive. Thought they were going to attack from the tree above the walkway heading to our room one day. Lots, and lots, of ants. Room safe didn't work electronically so the front desk had to give the only key they had. No telling what would have happened if we had lost it. Lock on bathroom door was broken. Overall hotel seems like it was amazing about 10-15 years ago. Hard to say if the current owner is working to renovate or just maintain. Would recommend because of the good value and relatively quiet, friendly staff, and picturesque setting.

It is an exclusive gated resort nestled in the stunning landscape of Jacó. The rooms are surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally warm and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. The owner was truly outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and making our stay unforgettable.

The photos are a bit misleading. The property appears to have once been a resort in its prime, but it now feels like it may have changed ownership and hasn’t been kept up the same way. The grounds are somewhat neglected, and overall maintenance seems limited. Parking is tight, and arriving at night was a little confusing. You drive along what feels like a narrow, one-way residential street, and the hotel sits right above it. The main entrance was secured behind two large iron gates, but the night attendant was very kind and welcoming, checked us in smoothly, and provided our room key without any issues. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, the shower was frustrating — the water temperature constantly fluctuated, so we had to keep adjusting the hot and cold knobs every couple of minutes just to maintain a comfortable temperature. Because our room faced the residential street, the morning noise was hard to ignore. Between neighborhood dogs barking and neighbors arguing, there was definitely no need for an alarm clock 😅 On a positive note, breakfast was very good — hot, fresh, and with plenty of options to choose from. Overall, the biggest downsides for me were the condition of the grounds and the shower. With some upkeep and maintenance improvements, this place could really shine again.
