The hotel is simple, it is clean and it is accesible. It is a pretty place and a nice beach for surfing. It is not one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches, but to see friends and spend some time close to the city, this place is very nice.

The photos accurately depict the property. Casual environment with a limited number of rooms provide a quiet retreat right at the beach. There are a few restaurants conveniently located near by but downtown Jaco is a short drive away.

Nice location along Playa Hermosa, which has black sands and great waves for surfing. Nice pool for swimming - the beach itself is not a good swimming or snorkeling spot due to the strong waves, so pool access was great. Beautiful sunsets!
