Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort

📍 Playa Jaco, Punta Arenas, Jaco
★★★★ 8.9 (29 reviews)

"As far as the resort goes, this place is beautiful. It’s a brand new build in the area so it was a nice day. However, upon arrival, we didn’t have a reservation booked because we booked through American Express and used our points. The front desk did say that they didn’t know how to send that through so they just never made the reservation. The front desk did say he was able to put us in still, and then proceeded to charge us again for the stay instead of going through American Express and handling the reservation. We had confirmation of the reservation through American Express. This hotel does not have any form of communication communications that they respond to. Emails they don’t respond to and their phone numbers either don’t work or they don’t answer them. The entire time we were in the hotel everything was under construction. So there was allowed jackhammering going on in the stairwell so loud that we couldn’t even relax in our room at any point of the day. The elevator was out of service due to heavy rain so they had to move our room. When they did move our room, our king-size bed was missing a leg so it was uneven."

Hotel Los Ranchos

Hotel Los Ranchos

📍 Pastor Diaz Ave, Jaco
★★ 8.9 (101 reviews)

"Jaco really isn’t for families anymore. The hotel shows a picture that it is next to an empty plot: Well that is a 20 story building now. Some AC units are too old, making very loud vibrations. We had 2 cockroaches in the room despite closed windows. If you need to be in Jaco, check out the hotel on the other side of the creek. If you have a choice, drive a couple more kilometres to a nicer village."

Amapola Resort

Amapola Resort

📍 J96H+7WC Amapola Costa Rica Jaco beach, Av. Amapola, Jaco
★★★ 8.0 (71 reviews)

"The place is in acceptable conditions, rooms are old, simple, but clean. Very basic TV option. Pool is clean in a good shape, pool chairs and tables are old chaky and shaky, chairs cover are old and stained. A lot of **** smell. Personnel at front desk is very kind and helpful. Not recommended for families, a lot of better options nearby"

"We really loved this hotel on the Pacific Ocean. The restaurant has delicious and varied food, and the pool bar has great burgers! We went on an excursion to the national park, but didn't see any animals. Unlike at the hotel, we saw lots of iguanas, huge, colorful parrots, squirrels, and coatis! The sunsets were magical! And every day on the beach, you can watch baby turtles being released into the ocean! The rooms are a bit dated, but it didn't detract from our stay."

"The service at this hotel was very good, and the food was okay. The main issue was the room. The curtains had holes, and the walls were so thin you could hear absolutely everything, even just people opening their luggage in other rooms. The shower was in the bathtub, and the water would just pool up while we were showering. The room just wasn't comfortable :("

Clarita’s Beach Bar & Resort ★★★★
"The new hotel was recently built at the site of the photos of the old motel that are still on this website. The new owner kept the name as a tribute to the local woman that opened the original restaurant in the 1960s. The new hotel is very modern and very clean. The rooms are very well designed, and every room has a balcony overlooking the beach and the ocean. Each night you will see sunsets that are unmatched. I stayed here with my wife, teenage son, and my son's friend. Everyone loved it. The food is unbelievably good and well thought out. We ate at both the restaurant downstairs and the sushi restaurant upstairs. I never thought I would be raving about a sushi restaurant in Costa Rica, but it was some of the best sushi we have ever tried. The hotel staff are very kind and attentive. The only noise was the welcomed sound of the ocean waves when we opened the door to the balcony. The gym is well-equipped and large and there is plenty of room for swimming in the pools, which both face the beach and the ocean. We ate most of our meals at the hotel because the food was so good and well-priced. If you are looking for a memorable vacation with ample relaxation, amenities, and access to Costa Rica's world-famous excursions, book a stay at this hotel now!"

"Excellent little hostel, spotlessly clean in a nice quiet part of town. The beach is beautiful just down the road and the staff were very nice too. I sadly forgot to take a picture of our lovely room but we had 3 pillows each, 3 towels, lots of plug sockets beautiful shower and a fully equipped kitchen, also spotlessly clean. It’s just a shame we could only stay one night!!"
