Finde Hotels in Jaco

The hotel and Staff, excepting the bookkeeping/ management. were great. My complaint is the hotels cancellation of reservations for 4 rooms for 10 days were made on July 12, 2024 through Expedia/AARP. First day payment for the rooms was credited that day. Final payment was scheduled for check in on February 10. On February 9, the hotel cancelled the reservation for nonpayment, 24 hours before we could check in. They said all payments would be refunded. No reason was given for cancellation for nonpayment before the payment was due or why they had money to refund. Communications was extremely poor. I got different stories from 3 people. I was finally told they would hold 4 rooms. They said they would call or email, then I got a WhatsApp message (Luckly I have WhatsApp on my phone) that a colleague was wrong and they would cancel if we were not there by 3 pm, this was after I had offered many times during our conversations to pay the entire amount over the phone and was told it was not necessary. Good news was they had 4 rooms when we got there. The manager's response to the early without notification cancellation was indifference. Her response was if they owed us any money it would be refunded. Np apology or concern that the anxiety of not having rooms for 7 people for 10 days ruined 2 days of my vacation.

I have been to this hotel many many years again when it was under a different name/ management. Several things have changed. There no longer is a restaurant or bar at the hotel. So adding breakfast to your stay isn’t an option. Close by is downtown Jaco and we had a car so that wasn’t a problem at all for us but I think other visitors need to keep this mind. Also must bring all toiletries. I’m used to a maid service everyday at the hotels I usually stay at but I think to cutt down on costs. I didn’t mind , but again heads up. Yes the hotel perhaps is past it’s prime and a few things in the room look a bit worn down but considering the very budget price you are paying it’s all good. Everything seemed very clean and I care more about that than a decent paint job. The property has 2 large pools and two children’s pools that are disturbed throughout the property and direct connection to the beach in front. Ample parking. With all the families and groups of friends staying around the pool with there loaded ice boxes with beers and stereos I honestly thought It was going to be hard to get a decent quiet night sleep presuming people would get rowdy. Wasn’t the case both nights we stayed there. Perhaps luck or the staff really makes sure everyone keeps the noise down after a certain hour.

The front of the hotel can be misleading, as the hotel is actually quite nice. The rooms are pretty good. The pool area is large and well designed, and have a bar right there. A lot of the rooms have view to the pool. The tennis/basketball/indoor soccer field is great, with roof. They have pool tables, table tennis and foosball. The restaurant is 24/7, which comes in very handy, and also adds the advantageof not being tied to a specific schedule for the free breakfast that's included. Parking can be a little confusing at first, but it's actually close to the rooms (I would improve it by addign signs on the road indicating how to get to the parking lot).

Had a wonderful stay at Selina Jaco. Even with a shared bathroom between 4 rooms, we never encountered an issue as far as waiting on anyone to use the facilities. The pool, the bar, the beach, the vibes were all on point. Everyone was so friendly, staff and other travelers alike. It was nice talking to people from other walks and places of life. I loved every minute of our stay here, and will recommend this hostel to anyone! Hopefully we'll get back there next year! Pura Vida!

Un hôtel choisi par Wingbuddy (représenté par Travel Excellence au local)dans notre tour nature du Costa Rica, probablement parce qu’il n’y avait pas de chambres pour tout le groupe à Punta Leona à 30 kilométres de là. L’hôtel est un ancien 3 étoiles dont les chambres ont mal vieillies, outre l’absence de coffre-fort et une tuyauterie à renouveler en salle de bain, le lit était correct ainsi que l’AC. La proximité à la route n’est pas un avantage alors que les camions utilisent leurs freins en compression avec un bruit d’enfer qui vont gêner les dormeurs au sommeil léger. Les deux piscines n’étaient pas récentes mais sont plaisantes ainsi que le service de bar ponctuel. L’endroit est à 10 minutes de Jaco Beach, où la plage est plus recommandable pour la baignade que l’hôtel où les courants sont dangereux, mais qui plaisent aux surfers. Le petit déjeuner inclus se prend sur terrasse couverte, près de la mer. Un ou deux iguanes s’y présentent pur quêter la nourriture, il faut les ignorer! Le menu reste intéressant avec le petit dej américain, typique, Terrazza del Pacifico ou les huevos tomates. Le café et les fruits y sont bons. Même avec une offre limitée pour le soir, on trouve de bons plats dont le sea bass sauce crevettes ou les pâtes de fruits de mer étaient excellents. Nous avons souper à une pizzeria à 0,4 km de l’hôtel qui était bon, mais le déplacement le long de la route est dangereux, surtout au crépuscule. Notre agence nous a commandé les tests Covid d’un hôpital local et le coût en est US$ 110 avec des résultats pour le PCR en 30 heures par courriel. Attention de demander le bon test, 3 collègues voyageurs se sont vus refuser l’accès, le résultat reçu rapidement étant un test antigène non admissible pour l’accès au vol vers le Canada. Le trajet pour Jaco Beach se paie US$ 8 ou $10 du chauffeur plus avide venu à l’hôtel , à qui on n’accorde pas de pourboire. Deux nuits qui s’avèrent correctes en court séjour.
