Absolutely fabulous owners. I was able to check in early and the place was beautiful! I loved the access to the very short walk to Crocs resort. I loved the fact that this condo had plenty of towels and beach chairs and mostly the boogie boards. The riptide was a bit intimidating but had a blast boogie boarding! Thank you for a great stay

If you are planning a trip to Jaco, and want to be steps away from the ocean, stay here!! My husband and I used this condo as our “home base” for 3 nights. This condo is well stocked with everything you need! The owner was just a quick text message away! We literally spent hours on the patio enjoying the nice breeze. We would definitely stay here again!

Beach paradise

This place was exactly as advertised. You can sit outside or inside and hear the ocean all day, and the beach is litterly a few feet from the room. We loved it and may look into buying a unit. The resort next door was not too busy (low season) but nice pool. Jaco is a very safe and friendly place.

Location is excellent unfortunately some of the furniture is very dated. Sofa is disgusting. I would not sit on it. Patio furniture needs new cushions. Air conditioner leaks a lot of water. Its unuseable owner did not help me. This condo is also very expensive. It’s not worth the price in my opinion.

Jaco Vacation

Good location right on the beach. It was nice being able to use Crocs pool but we were not allowed access to their fitness center (had to pay). We never used the pool in front of condo. Condo is older and needs some updates. Dryer needs to be properly vented as it is not. Owners were very kind and helpful when we asked questions.

Steps from the ocean

This beach is the best of the 4 beaches for collecting sea glass since there aren't many shells here! The condo has its own exit through the patio since it's a first floor unit and it's 60 seconds to the beach. This beach is great for walking, has surf lessons and restaurants galore. This town is great for souvenirs and great food. We're a little old for night life but enjoyed our stay and activities (quad tour). The place itself is also amazing with two good sized bedrooms, in unit washer and dryer, huge feeling of space and a full kitchen. You cannot go wrong with this rental!

Great place to relax and unwind

We loved having the main floor unit right by the pool with easy access to the beach. The private patio was a great place to read and dine. We appreciated having the fat bikes to ride into Jacó for groceries, restaurants and shopping. The hosts were responsive and friendly. The glasses and cutlery were not totally clean when we arrived but the dishwasher solved that. Having access to Crocs pool was fun. It was a quiet time of year so noise and privacy were not significant for this main floor unit. The beach was nicer than closer to Jaco and the sunsets were beautiful.

Wonderful host and condo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Palms. Our only complaints were the water pressure wasn’t good at all and the water didn’t get warmer than luke warm. The shower floor was a bit slippery but that could easily be fixed with a shower mat. All the air conditioning units worked well except the first bedroom. It would say it is at 26, but didn’t feel anything like it did at 26 in the living room and 2nd bedroom. Other than those minor issues, everything was great. Wonderful location and the pool was so relaxing to hang out by.

Water Water Water

We stayed here for a week and everything was going well until it started raining inside the condo? That’s right INSIDE the bottom floor condo. The rain came gushing in from the top of the washer/dryer area. When we looked at the ceiling it was covered in mold. The kitchen sink is falling and doesn’t hold water because the seal was non existent which led to water all over the floor. The pounding of the construction on the second floor was horrible for the last 3 days. The location was very nice and the beach was awesome but I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Costa Rica. Stay in a resort.

Lovely condo!

We had a lovely stay. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. So close to the resort next door and you can fall out on the beach. The porch was awesome for coffee in the morning. A couple minor things to improve: Shower pressure was not good. It would have been nice if there were apps or anything (Netflix etc)to make watching TV in English possible.
