large ocean front condo
Great large ocean front condo, it had 3 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washer dryer. Large balcony and smaller balconies off the bedrooms. The swimming pool was lovely and well maintained. I highly recommend this condo with long term stay. Secured free parking

Do not stay here even if last room in town
What an awful experience. The original unit we were placed in was nicely appointed but not that clean. However the air conditioning did not cool, the hot water did not work and the washing machine was broken. We called for help and the attendant that arrived was rude and vis upset we called for help. We were told that hot water was not that big of a deal. And After over an hour of trying to get some resolution a maintenance man by the name of Johnny arrived. He was the only respectful and helpful employee of Best in Jaco. We then were switched to a different unit. And requested late check-out for the disruption and attitude of the employee. All guests believed we were given 1pm late check out. So at 12:30 as we were packing we noticed the safe was not working and needed assistance. We went looking for a staff member and that's when chaos began. The employees ambushed us. Most of us still in our under garments or in the bathroom undressed. When we asked for privacy to finish packing our things. We were told no and they just persisted on being in our private rooms while we trying to get dressed. I told the employees they were invading our privacy and we insisted on speaking with the rental agent, Paula. Paula provided no assistance. This is not a luxury rental service more a Slum Lord. Definitely suggest passing on any Best in Jaco units.

The check in process was very disappointing. Dispute corresponding several times with the property, I was never given the address of the property we’d be staying in or told that the streets would all be closed because of Carnivale. We had to wander the streets of Jacó through the mud for over an hour trying to find the place or someone who could help. Since the streets were closed we had to pay for parking in a mud field. My husband then had to go early in the morning to get the vehicle and we left as soon as we could to avoid the road closeure. It was an awful experience.

The property was very new, well furnished and the check in was easy. We did experience a water outage and had to move for one night. The property made that process easy, so overall we have no complaints. Pricing was very reasonable and it was great to have be able to wash clothes.

El condominio muy completo. Locación excelente. Lo negativo es que los guardas de seguridad tienen una mala actitud en lugar de velar por el bienestar de los huéspedes parece que les pagan para estar como en academia militar esperando el minimo detalle para molestar. No se puede mover una silla o una mesa. Parece que olvidan que se paga suficiente para disfrutar el lugar.

The location was great, the condo had everything a person could want, each room having a balcony was awesome, the washer dryer with soap and dryer sheets was a nice touch. -The not so good, it was kind of a pain to have to drive to a seperate location to check in on a busy street in Jaco, and than confusion at the gate with who was to give the key to actually get in. The condo is a little aged and warn with the window lock broken, the furnishings warn and the hot water was in and out while trying to have a shower, it was noisy at night and the room although nice and cool during the day for some reason got hot at night and the air conditioning wouldnt respond, cleanlyness was a 7 out of 10. Overall it was a pleasant stay for the time we got to enjoy it but there could be improvements.

Reservation
On the day of the reservation, we contacted the hotel directly to advise we were going to be late to check in. Property manager advised she would put a note and room key with guards office. We arrive and they give us the run around and come to find out, they gave our condo to someone else in error. Envelope was in guard house with my name on it. Only option was to go to another property that was 2 bedroom, instead of the 3 bedroom I paid for. Will not visit this property again.

Great Condo W/ Exceptional View
The 2 bed/2 bath unit with in unit laundry was exceptional. The decor was very modern and tasteful. The view of the ocean was gorgeous. We were only there one night and took advantage of the wonderful pool (comfortable temperature and beautiful). While swimming, several sets of scarlet macaws flew directly over us. The water view is gorgeous; however, the beach is very rocky and dirt instead of sand so it didn't make for a good swimming beach. The town of Jaco is very seedy with a lot of prostitutes and didn't feel very safe once out of the condo complex.

Spacious for the family
Great place for the family when I come. We had some issues at the begging... there was not WiFi and some of the doors would not lock but the property managers fixed it. Lastly, there was no Hot water but it didn’t matter since it was so hot outside that it was refreshing to shower with cold water. But I’m sure I’ll come back with the family

Great location, right on the beach.
We loved the location, and the condo itself was nicely furnished, spacious, comfortable. We had a hard time finding the place, didn't notice that the email we received had no contact phone number or address or actual name of the condo development. Called expedia, but no one answered the phone number on file. Thanks to locals, we were able to contact the manager and problem was solved within an hour. Pleased overall ...

Excellent stay in Jaco
We stayed at the Bahia Azul (through Best in Jaco Vacation Rentals) for 5 days. Very nice condo in a nice small complex of 30 units. The condo was 2 bdrm unit with 2 baths, full kitchen, living room, 2 balconys and laundry appliances. The unit and furnishings were well maintained. The comlex is located righ on the beautiful Jaco beach on the southern end. It has a wonderful pool and the grounds are kept nice. There were always employees from the management company around taking care of things. As the complex is right on the beach, security personnel were always manning the entry. Overall we were very happy with our stay there and would definitely book again.

Nice condo next to the beach
Great location, great pool and right next to the beach. Close to shops, local market and many adventure opportunities. The only downfall was the maintenance. We had a missing towel bar, corroded bathroom fixtures with poor water pressure in one bathroom, plugs that needed fixing, lock that they came and fixed.. Everything seemed like it needed a little maintenance and TLC. It wouldn't take much to make this a 5 star facility. Beautiful grounds which were well maintained.

Really nice condos at the end of town with a beach front view. The pool is great and the beach is awesome. We can walk to town and not have to drive anywhere. The condo is so nice inside with a washer and dryer that comes in handy with pool and ocean soaked cloths. Full kitchen to cook with and a layout that flows well.
