Best Western Jaco Beach All Inclusive Resort

We have spent two weeks here and everything has been wonderful. The staff have been excellent. They are very friendly and go out of their way to help you. The rooms are made up everyday and are very clean. The maids we have noticed are very hard workers as is the rest of the entire staff. The servers are very nice and very attentive. We also enjoyed the energetic rumba pool classes! The all inclusive meals have a wide variety of foods and is always fresh. We very much enjoyed the fruit and a wide variety of salads. The location is excellent. The resort is a short walk away from downtown Jaco, where there are numerous shops and restaurants. We highly recommend this resort! less

My wife and I went with Gate ! tours. We are used to all inclusive hotels being large expanses with lots of amenities. This one as small and quaint with one pool and two places to eat. The food was good and for a small outfit, had a good and fresh selections. My wife had to get used to looking at Iguanas while we ate on the terrace. The beach was rough but people were in it. It was close to a small town and we walked there to shop a few times. There were day trips to the Juan Manuel park and zip lining around the corner. Make sure you have good GPS ( not google) as the towns do not have road signs. Good trip. less

We stayed 5 days in the middle of october. It was great, very laid back. Coming from florida we're used to the beach but not the mountains or the jungle. Lots to do within an hour drive, and Jaco downtown is great for cocktails and people watching. Maneul antoine national park is amazing and driving there is part of the fun. Make sure you park at the gate, people dressed as park employees will try to trick you into paying to park in their field well before you get to the park. less

Awesome staff! Clean rooms. Ocean views and beautiful landscaping. Variety of foods to choose from including fresh fruit, breads and entrees. Two bars, the bartenders were awesome! The beach was gorgeous! I would choose this resort again. less

The good: I stayed by myself here for $110 a night on booking.com. The room was one of the largest and cleanest I had in Costa Rica and the beds were comfortable with nice bedding. This was not a luxury hotel, but for the price it was good considering all drinks and food were included. The drinks are made out of alcohol like Smirnoff and Flor de Cana or Johnny Walker, so it is nice that they aren't using the cheapest stuff. There are buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a snack area in between. The hotel is located right on the beach, towards the end of the strip. It isn't on the nicest part of the beach, but I really enjoyed walking the entire length in the morning and taking a swim without having to worry about my stuff. Most of the staff were nice. The not so good: Check in was a little confusing - they let me go to my room early at 2 pm but I didn't realize I had to come back for the bracelet that allowed me to drink at 3 so it was awkward at the bar when I tried to get a drink with the wrong bracelet. As a solo traveler, it was pretty much impossible to meet people, as everyone else was in a couple or family group. The night life was not very good. They didn't seem to dim the lights or have any live or DJ music or any type of "night club" scene. The food ranged from not great to just ok - good value but not great food. less
