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!
“GREAT HOTEL, GREAT LOCATION, GREAT CITY, GREAT COUNTRY!”
From the waitstaff to the owner, everyone was extremely hospitable and nice. Will go back there FOR SURE!
“Nice Hotel - Great food and service - best hotel and restaurant in jaco !!!”
Nice hotel in the center of Jaco . I was in Jaco for ten days and stayed here for all of them - i reallyed enjoyed my stay here and recommend this hotel . The rooms are very clean and the hotel is well keep and well run . The staff is very knowledgable and friendly and helped with recomendations . I was able to watch my football games upstairs in the sky bar and really enjoyed the bar and restaurant down stairs - yolany the lovily bartender was so sweet and amazing - i really look foreward to returning for her amazing drinks and great energy . I had ribs one night for dinner and they were perfect ( just falling off the bone ) the kitchen is really good -weather for breakfast ,lunch or dinner . I cant wait to return !!!!!!
“great bargain excellent staff and restuarant”
Convieniently located in downtown Jaco Beach. Great value and the restuarant has excellent food with several american dishes.The staff was attentive and booked several day trips for me.I would definitely recommend Posiden Hotel.
“hotel was fine would not go back to that town”
food and convenience was good town was too commercial reminded me of key west fl
“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!
“nice place”
very good place to stay
“Nice Hotel in Jaco”
Everything was so simple(in the good sense), clean and nice for a very low price
“good value, great people”
Very high level of service and comfort. Particularly nice staff. Nice resident iguana. Loud late disco next door may bother some people. Fine restaurant. Free coffee 7-10. Excellent location for nearby activities.
“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.
