"Property was great. It is a two story property and each room is like an apartment with a kitchen that has the basics you would need - hotplate, fridge, dishes, rice maker etc. Each apartment also has a covered patio with table and chairs The pool was great as well and the beach is literally at the property line. You go through the gate and your next step after the gate is the sand on the beach."

"BEWARE OF GUEST FEES!! Got charged an extra $37 to rent an additional room downstairs for an hour! As for the room that I actually stayed at had no hot water, bite by mosquitoes and bed is hard. I ended up paying a total of $110 for one night when the room should cost no more than $30 a night. I would never come back to Jaco or this hotel again! "
