Well located and still very clean
Bien situé et quand meme tres bonne prpreté

The beach is dangerous and the sand is dark. The staff is very helpful. The food is okay, but it's not Mexico; I found it quite greasy. The coffee is machine-made, not a real cappuccino or quality coffee. My return flight was late, and they wouldn't let me eat in the kitchen; I had to pay.

La plage est dangereuse et sable foncé., Le personnel est tres serviable., Coté nourriture bien c n'est pas le Mexique je trouvais ca asser gras, Cafe fait a la machine pas de vrai cappuccino ou cafe de qualité., Mon vol de retour était tard et on na pas voulue me laisser manger a la cuisine j ai due payer.,

Small hotel very well located near the city center with all the bars, restaurants and shops
Petite hotel tres bien situé près du centre ville avec tous les bars, restaurants et commerces

Very quiet, not much going on, especially during the week. On weekends there are more locals, but it's very pleasant.

Très tranquille, pas vraiment d'activités surtout durant la semaine. La fin de semaine il y a plus de locaux mais c'est très agréable.

Average, no desire to go back at all
Moyen, pas le goût du tout d'y retourner

1. No cold water bottles available, neither in the lobby nor in the rooms (no fridge). At 35 degrees, phew! 2. Undeveloped beach (a few chairs, NO umbrellas and no shaded area near the beach). So it's impossible to spend a day at the beach in the full sun. 3. The bathrooms in the rooms lack storage. Two people have to go in and out of our things every time. 4. The clientele was mostly Costa Rican, which is good, but it gave us the impression that the hotel is designed more for Costa Ricans who want to live the "American dream" than for foreign tourists who want to live and discover Costa Rica. 5. Jaco is very Americanized, KFC, Subway and a lot of advertising in English. This was not the Costa Rica I wanted to see. 6. Finally, I wouldn't call this hotel a "resort", absolutely not, just a hotel where meals and alcohol are offered at will.

1. Pas de bouteilles d'eau froide disponibles, ni au lobby, ni dans les chambres (pas de frigo). À 35 degrés ouf!
2. Plage non aménagée (quelques chaises, AUCUN parasol et pas de coin d'ombre près de la plage) Impossible donc de passer une journée à la plage, en plein soleil.
3. Salle de bain des chambres manquent de rangement, À deux, faut entrer et sortir nos choses à chaque fois.
4. La clientèle était en majorité costa-ricaine et tant mieux mais ça nous a donné l'impression que l'hôtel est davantage conçu pour les costa-ricains qui ont le goût de vivre le "rêve américain "que les touristes étrangers qui ont le goût de vivre et découvrir le Costa Rica
5. Jaco est très américanisé, PFK, Subway et beaucoup de publicité en anglais. Ce n'était pas le Costa-Rica que j'avais envie de voir.
6. Enfin, je ne qualifierais pas cet hôtel de "resort", absolument pas, juste un hôtel où les repas et l'alcool sont offerts à volonté
