Great location. Looks nice. Needs better curtains . The current curtains are see through and since my unit was a corner unit, people walking by the room could see straight in. To bad of the loud construction next to it but once that is done it should be ok.

There are no signs with the hotel name. Unless someone points at it you don’t know where it is. I had an argument with some drunk over the parking space. Water barely flowing in the shower. The entire town of Jaco is not neat

Location is excellent - better part of the beach (in my opinion), right on the beach, and a short walk from the main strip. This was my second time staying there. It is an older hotel and it's currently going through some changes and renovations. Staff is friendly - no complaints there. However breakfast is no longer a buffet - and takes a long time to arrive. And you now have to wear bracelets like you would at a resort - except it's not a resort and those bracelets are annoying in the water and cause tan lines. We kept taking ours off. Also, one of our rooms had the glass for the shower installed on the wrong side so the water would splash everywhere when you shower - but hoping the renovations will address that.

Although you could see it’s former beauty, everything was run down or in disrepair. Constantly running faucets. A toilet you had to open the lid and jiggle the handle to get it to stop running. The glade plug-in in the bathroom to over power the musty smell. The green hot tub.

This hotel was a nightmare. Not only did the elevator not work (we were on the 3rd floor) the in house telephone did not work, the wi fi did not work and the toilet seat was broken. Those were the good points. Every morning at 3:30 am 100 feet from our room there was partying, drug abuse and music so loud we could never get back to sleep. (The first morning they were there until 9am) And..Every night our room flooded due to the heavy rains, pouring in from the closed doors and windows. The first night of flooding when we requested help they brought us 2 bath towels, and the 2nd night they refused to give us any help at all. We checked out 3 nights early and now they will not refund our money.

Do not stay here

When we checked in we were not given pool or beach towel tickets. Our room’s safe did not work so therefore we had to hide our passports and hope they would not be stolen. There wasn’t a comforter on the bed. We found it the second night tucked away in a different piece of furniture. In suite 6 there was a nasty hole by the jacuzzi tub. The shower head sprayed water straight into the floor so we had to put a towel OVER the shower head to not flood the room when we showered. There was ZERO staff at the check out desk from 6:00-6:30am and we HAD to leave for the airport to catch our flight and so I had to leave a note that we were checking out. I still have no idea if they got that I checked out this AM. There was an huge spider on a reading light above the bed we killed. Overall, if I could give this place zero stars I would.

This is my 3rd trip to Balcon Del Mar. ( in the middle of a name change to Paradise Jaco Beach). I love that it’s right on the sand. It’s a small resort and by then end of the week you know the staff, they are wonderful. Breakfast every morning included is also nice.
