Jaco Lodge Quiet Place

Friendly staff, I was greeted pleasantly and the nice lady at the reception desk made sure everything was taken care of. I felt very welcome. Perfect sized rooms for a solo traveler. Nice tv and of course full blast AC. This place is convenient to restaurants and shop and a short walk from the beach.

Looks nice in the pictures but isn't quite as advertised. Was a bit disappointed with my stay. It's not the worst place but there are lots of better options if you're traveling all the way to Costa Rica. Property manager is non-responsive which is something that I didn't like.

The hotel is adequate, especially for the low price ($50). I always say, you get what you pay for! The room is very small and basically accommodates a bed, which is totally fine. The best part was that it had A/C, but don’t expect hot water! The breakfast is simple, but adequate, for a typical Costa Rican breakfast. The photos on the website are representative of only some of the rooms that are located by the pool, but most are in an older building. The exterior, common & pool areas are well maintained. The staff members are constantly working on many tasks/chores at the hotel. If you try to communicate with the host, Leonard, through TripAdvisor, FORGET about it. I asked for early arrival and he never replied after 2 attempts. I arrived 3 hours early and offered to pay the fee for early arrival which is offered on the site, but since he never replied to my request from the website and also at arrival, he turned me away, but he did hold my luggage when I Asked. He said the check-in office was closed until 3pm, which is actually him changing office! Leonard is stern, unfriendly, never smiles and is less than accommodating. The other person in the office (unfortunately, I only saw him once) and the staff are very friendly. It’s a great thing that they are a cat rescue sanctuary, but if allergic, etc, you should know. They just wander around the property and lounge around which was totally fine.. It’s unfortunate, but my rating is mostly reflective of the lack of customer service, such as providing the incorrect passcode at check in and when I questioned the code and also asked for a pool towel (same as in the room) he seemed put out by my request.

At first I thought to myself “what have I done”, but it’s not that bad. Small pool area but functional. It could use more than two lounge chairs. The rooms were alright nothing fancy. The bed we had was broken so the sleeps weren’t that great. Breakfast was simple but good. Would I come back here… yes, because it’s is adults only and outside of the busy town. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful and would get you anything you needed. It was very clean, workers constantly tidying.

The service was incredible, great Hotel, members of the hotel cares about you in the time being there, will come back again and again. rooms very clean and breakfast exelent, will highly recomend this Hotel to any one thats going to Costa Rica.

Comfortable bed, nice atmosphere and friendly staff! My only complaints were that they did not have extra pillows and the shower did not get very hot. Also, the breakfast is VERY simple:m; just some toasts, hard boiled egg and fruits. I did not like the coffee or juice.
