Recreation

Readily accessible from San Jose, Jacó is perhaps the liveliest beach town on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Recreational options abound. The consistent break on Jacó's beach makes the town a popular destination for surfers and a great place for novices to learn the sport. Sea kayaking tours depart Jacó to a coastal island for snorkeling, and nearby rainforests provide a verdant playground for canopy tours, aerial trams, bird watching, river rafting, and hikes. For guests desiring even more of a birds-eye view, tours in twin-engine, open-cockpit airplanes are also an option.

The hotel has its own swimming pool. English-speaking front desk staff can assist guests with transportation and tour arrangements, and book tee times at the 18-hole Los Sueños golf course, within a 10-minute drive.

Hotel guests have complimentary access to a beachfront health club, two blocks away.

“Serves the purpose”

Older hotel and you have to like jaco. Attitude counts. In a beach town why spend time indoors? The upstairs sports bar was great at the end of the PM. Good food with outside seating , service was very personal. We had fun!

“Awesome! If you are in Jaco stay here!”

Hotel Poseidon is fantastic! The room was beautiul and the staff was friendly and efficient. Both the hotel room and property were VERY clean and well maintained. The bathroom was spacious and the shower pressure and water temperature contol was great. The air-conditioning worked so well we had to turn it off in the middle of the night because we were cold! The food was delicious (continental breakfast was very fresh and tasty, great coffee) and the Internet connection was reliable. The maid service was great and quick. We had plenty of clean towels. They even folded my clothes! I felt that the room was secure and we trusted the safe. TV was clear w/ plenty of channels. All The staff was bilingual and very helpful when arranging tours and transportation. Staff, guests, and restaurant customers were always happy and smiling. The stray dogs in Jaco are sweet and the Tico's do a great job caring for them. Say Hi to Stinky the one eyed dog! Jaco first appears a bit rough, but it turned out to be safe and pleasant. Be careful swiming in the ocean the current is STRONG! We felt safe leaving our towels on the pretty black sand beach while swimming. I highly recommend Hotel Poseidon. I would stay there again and was sad to leave. It is a perfect spot for new travelers who may be feeling nervous to travel abroad. The hotel will put an anxious traveler at ease and inspire them to travel beyond US borders more. CR is full of beauty and wonderful people. I can not wait to return!

“There have to be better options for this price”

The hotel is reasonably charming and the staff is very courteous and friendly, but I kept telling myself that one should be able to find a better place for this price. I guess most of my disappointment was because of the town (Jaco) itself. As a diehard fan of the Dominican Republic, I can get a lot better deals in DR at beaches with turquoise blue water. Coming to think of it, I had the very same reaction when I went to Cancun last year, even though there I stayed at a 5-star hotel there.
