"The view was incredible! I could spend four days by the pool. It was great to have the shuttle (4x4) to the beach. It is not a swimming beach at all, but it is great for watching the waves and reading a book. Drinks were delicious, though the good was hit or miss. (The tuna tartare was incredible; the seafood platter was a sad disappointment.) The staff were very kind and helpful and there was yoga on the weekends with a transcendent view."

"Ideal location to stay with family or friends, close to two beaches, three pools and other services such as restaurants and butterfly garden. Property needs maintainance at some parts. Road to the resort is full of holes and needs to be repaired. Reception staff at check in was not friendly, on the other hand others were. A bit more interest in the guests would lead in to more returning guests."

"Beautiful place. Away from the hustle of town. It was off season when we were there so it was very quiet. Restaurant was only open for breakfast and lunch. Pool was awesome. Lots of stuff to do during the day in the area and then head back for a relaxing evening. Monkeys would visit most afternoons. My daughter loved the resident cats and guard dog. The animals were as friendly as the staff. Thinking about bringing more family next year."

Top Carara Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tramonto

10/10 Excellent

"Very well-maintained property. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was yummy. The beach is just across the street. There is a terrace above the pool where you can sit, look at the beach, and listen to the waves."

Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró

10/10 Excellent

"The room and property are clean and so well kept! Loved the pool and cabanas, a small oasis! The breakfast was perfect! Jose and Rachel at the front desk, as well as the servers and kitchen staff were all great! We’ll definitely visit in the future! Pura vida!"

Lia Hotel Jaco - Exclusively for Adults, WorldHotels Crafted

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente lugar. Bien lindo los cuartos. Tranquilo. Pudimos desayunar y estaba bien rica la comida. Cerca de todo. Un solo detalle no tienen estacionamiento y uno tiene que dejar el auto en la calle. Saludos desde Puerto Rico. Recomendado."

Hotel Punta Leona

8/10 Good

Ozeano Jaco

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in the Deluxe Room and it was clean and spacious. The property was clean and the staff all were pleasant and cheerful. The property sits right on the beach, however Jaco sand is rough, this has nothing to do with the property. The location was in the middle of town and walkable to mostly all shops and restaurants."

Pumilio Mountain & Ocean Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was just myself and my daughter 16 and we really enjoyed our stay. The shuttle picked us up from the airport, the driver was waiting outside with my name on a pretty made sign. The staff was amazing and very attentive. I loved the welcome drink. Breakfast was great! The restaurant had good options to choose from. The property is small, private and safe but it is beautiful! The hotel is like being in the mountains, jungle atmosphere. Theres a spa and the 2 pools were beautiful and shaded. The rooms were very clean, the bathrooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable. I loved the balcony it was very spacious with a nice kitchen area and the view of the pool and beautiful scenery all around. The environment at the hotel was very peaceful, relaxing and true tranquility!!! Everything was within 15 minutes or less meaning the beach, adventure parks, grocery stores, fruit markets, etc. Neofauna Costa Rica Mariposario is on the same road from the hotel about a 10 minute walk or you could use the free bikes provided by the hotel, there is also a little store on the road and there are waterfalls if going right from the hotel and going all the way down past the small bridge and store there is a path, small little hike. Wish we could have stayed longer but it is definitely worth returning!!!"
