“This Art Deco-designed beachfront property caters especially to younger, budget-conscious travelers seeking a social atmosphere and surf culture in Jaco. I noted the availability of surf lessons, proximity to Jaco Beach and nearby natural attractions like Carara National Park, plus dancing and yoga classes, but caution that some past guests found the facilities and service inconsistent. In my opinion, this hotel's location and price point make it most appealing for adventurous travelers prioritizing budget and convenience over luxury.”

Sports & FitnessSurf's Up!

The surf school made learning easy. I went from zero experience to confidently riding waves solo during my stay.
