The service I received throughout my stay was OUTSTANDING! Axel and Anthony were EXCEPTIONALLY courteous, helpful and just 2 really great human beings. This trip for me was literally a mental health getaway and I was so comfortable and relaxed throughout my stay here, I left rejuvenated and ready to take on the world again! Another thing that I noted and enjoyed was that there was a mix of foreign and local (Costa Rican) guests staying in the hotel throughout my stay and all were treated equally (something I've observed is not always the same in my travels). The owner came in during breakfast some mornings and made a point of greeting everyone and asking how our stay was going (EXCELLENT). I'd definitely return to stay here again!

Breakfast offerings though good, can be improved and more varied.

The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The property is a great beach town property with a unique twist of a holland theme. Keep in mind when booking that you get what you pay for the rooms are clean but in need of some updates and repairs. They do the best with what they have and are focused on providing good service. If you are an avid traveller and appreciate a clean room, breakfast and great price then this is a great property to consider. The pool and common areas are the best parts of the property that are clean and well maintained.

The first room I had was very dark and on the road side which made me feel uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. The staff were quick to accommodate me to move me to another location on the property to ensure I was feeling comfortable.

We only stayed in the hotel one night as we were transiting between the North and South pacific coasts of Costa Rica. We loved the hotel. It's small, overlooks several clean, warm(ish) pools, has some wildlife in the mature trees, and the rooms are spacious with a lovely spot to sit outside. The manager/porter was lovely, very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. Lots of loungers around the pool and a spotless environment. It's about 100m walk to the main road in Jaco with shops, bars, restaurants etc. My understanding is that Jaco can be a somewhat seedy holiday town, but this is an excellent hotel, well-run, secure, great value for money with supervised parking. I would recommend it unreservedly.

Nothing, we loved it.

Breakfast was delicious and filling, location was perfectly close to everything downtown but felt separate and quiet away from the main road. Staff was very friendly. The pools were nice, the landscaping was beautiful, seeing the iguanas every day was fun.

The wifi was terrible in our room, even close to the office no one in our group could connect unless we went to the dining area. We asked for help at the front desk only to be told "well it should be working" and never getting anything addressed. The rooms could have been cleaner, especially the floors, but it wasn't bad enough to complain about.

This is a "rustic" small hotel off the main Jaco beach strip. Location was excellent, beach, restaurants, shops within walking distance. The hotel grounds are nice and the staff was exceptional and kind. Breakfast was great. Only downside is rooms are a little dated but you have ample space with EVERYTHING you need for a short stay. I would return.

Rooms were dated with stained sheets & towels.

The property was extremely close to everything in Jaco city.

I wish there were more options for breakfast.

Very beautiful and taken care off property ,in the center of Jaco but felt you were outside the busy life, very friendly staff , good basic breakfast , big basic rooms and liked the little patio to sit in the evening

Could use some remodeling but you got everything you need .

There was nothing not to like. We even had a huge bag of a week's traveling of laundry that they washed for free. For bird lovers, it was paridise! We took up close movies (45 minutes) of Macaws on the property or just outside the entrance. A pair was picking out a hole in a tree on the property to nest in that we photographed at about 40 feet next to the pool. Another pair came in to fight them for it. Try to get this kind of footage in a National Park. I don't think so. Spectacular X10!!! Feb. 2024

The location is great. A few mins walk to good supermarket with ATM, KFC, Subway should you desire. In the other direction it's a few mins walk to lots of eating places and souvenir shops. The staff were all genuine and very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lovely - we had pancakes. The pools are not huge but a decent size to relax in and we enjoyed them very much. We saw so much wildlife here. Beds were comfy. Nice seating area outside. It was quiet and there was air con.

For around £100 a night I found it expensive considering the things below and that is always quite disappointing - it just needs a bit of TLC and updating. For e.g. the bathroom wall was damp and peeling, a wardrobe door was missing. The shower is truly awful and almost unusable. It is either scalding or cold - It really needs to be fixed. The pool area has tiles missing on the side and the floor so you have to be careful not to hurt yourself. I really hope they can begin to update it as we felt so welcomed - it would make it a really fantastic oasis.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was a banging noise in our room and they gave us another room immediately.

Beds were very uncomfortable. There were two in the room and one was rock hard and the other was very soft (felt like the old spring box spring with a super soft mattress on top).There were no hand towels or wash clothes - just one bath towel per person. Our bathroom window was missing a pane so we had to stuff the towels in it to keep out bugs.
