ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS PROPERTY! This was a beautiful, well kept condominium with security at the gate to welcome you in. Nelson the security at the gate was very helpful with luggage and giving great recommendations for first timers in Costa Rica! He showed us around and helped with questions about the property. The pool and common areas are clean, well kept and regularly maintained. The rooms inside were spacious, clean, and had chairs inside if going to the beach!

Everything was super nice. Best housekeeping we've had maybe ever. Felt very safe. Pool was sparkling and well maintained. All employees were friendly. Even had our dishwasher go out and they replaced it within a day!! Would definitely go back.

Quiet and comfortable retreat
Monte Carlo is a perfect retreat located right off the downtown area just walking distance from the beach and all the shopping and dining. It is a quiet family friendly place with only 14 units, and the 24 hour attendants provide the top service and security you could ask for!

There is so much to say about this property, Costa Rica in general, the people, the culture and the experience of visiting the country if you have never been there. This property is very nice and is definitely “luxury”, at least compared to what is around it. It would not be considered “luxury” if you are expecting something you would find in a luxury resort in the US or Europe but for Jaco Beach this is really nice. The town of Jaco Beach is a beach town that has a number of surfer/beach restaurants, bars, and little shops that are within walking distance but be very careful when walking because the sidewalks are in poor condition and its easy to trip on a broken or uneven surface. The people are wonderful, helpful and kind, not only in the condo office and grounds but everywhere. The economy of this small beach town is very dependent upon tourists and most of the people in the service industry treat you like they want you to come back. Cristian and all the staff at Monte Carlo are outstanding and deserving of the highest rating that can be assigned. We ate at a different restaurant (there are many to choose from) every night and we had wonderful meals everywhere. The restaurant/bars on the beach will provide a beautiful sunset dinner if you get there in time. Be prepared for some local “chill” culture when it comes to service attentiveness in most establishments. If you are used to very quick service just know their culture is to work and play at a slower pace.

clean but very uncomfortable furniture
We started our trip in La Fortuna. We spend 10 days hiking in the rain forest and all around Arenal. Its was a wonderful time but tiresome. I booked 3 days at the beach to relax before we came home. Didn't want to feel like we needed a vacation from our vacation. We were looking forward to a trip to the beach were we could take it easy for a few days before going home. When arrived we were greeted by very friendly staff. The property itself was very pretty and walking distance to everything. The condo had very uncomfortable furniture. We wanted a relaxing stay with early dinners and back to the room to read, watch movies or play cards. The couch was nice to look at but was extremely uncomfortable to sit on. The beds were ok at best. The linens were a little scratchy and pillows were hard. Overall the stay was fine but not at all what we wanted.

Extremely clean and well maintained. The condos are modern and spacious. The day security guard at the gate , was extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommended. Steps away from Main Street and beach, although the town of Jaco itself has really gone downhill. We did not venture out after dark. But we had a nice place to hang out by the pool.

PERFECT. Exactly as advertised. So wonderful
Monte Carlo is an amazing Condo Property. Close enough to walk to everything yet just off the main strip so there is no riffraff at the property. The gate guards are fantastic at recommendations and they knew my name within my first night. Those guys are great. The office staff is so helpful and really have a great approach to allowing you enjoy your vacation with out bothering you. The pool area was immaculate and the grounds are perfectly manicured and well kept. My room was amazing I paid a very small amount to overlook the pool and oh my god was it worth every cent... I love this property... It is every bit as wonderful as all the reviews say it is... If I had to say one negative thing it would be the hot water in the shower..It is luke warm at best.. But after talking to many other visitors to Jaco at other properties, that is just the way it is in Jaco... Deal with it... Everything else makes up for it.

The condos are located in a very good location.
Location was great. A block from the main street so they where quiet without all the street noise. Yet close enough that everything that you liked to do was within a short walking distance. Taxi's where available with a simple phone call and they arrived within minutes. Ten minute walk to the beach. Grocery store a half block away. The entire staff was excellent. The pool area was kept very clean. I don't have one bad thing to say about my stay at the Monte Carlo. It was great.

Well beyond my expectations, better than photos.
Arrived early and given keys to unit 3 hours before regular check in. Office staff friendly and very accomodating. No paperwork and no credit card asked for at check in. Room was amazing. Large rooms nicely furnished. Excellent a/c. TV's in both bedrooms and living room. Huge kitchen with marble counter tops and with lots of utensils and appliances and a supermarket about a 3 minute walk from the complex. A laundry room with washer and dryer. Plenty of towels. A beautiful balcony overlooking the pool with comfortable outdoor furniture. Check out was maybe the best I ever experienced. The girl working in the office asked me to wait until the maid checked the room. Within 10 minutes the maid contacted her to say the room looked good and that was it, done. At no time was I asked for a credit card.

Excellent condo with location near town and beach
Very surprised how nice this condo was. Large open rooms and excellent floor plan with updated slate tile floor, granite counters and stainless appliances. Beds were very comfortable and everything worked, nice hot showers, AC, safe in condo etc. The gardens are very well maintained, and the pool is beautiful and inviting with nice warm water. Most afternoons we just got in the pool and hung out for a hour or so it was so good. The condo resort is set back behind the main street in Jaco, so noise is not a problem, very peaceful. The only issues I had was that we were the furthest condo from the office, so Wifi signal was not very strong so could not use to stream Netflix at peak times. Also did not appear to be a gym, but I was on vacation so not a big issue. Would definitely book again. Great condo for the price.

Monte Carlo is overall incredible!
The accommodations are absolutely incredible. I have been going to Costa Rica for the past 6 years and I can truly say the Monte Carlo is overall the best stay I completely have had. I have stayed in 8 bedroom houses to 1 bedroom hotels and with this being my 2nd time staying at the Monte Carlo...I can assure that I will not stay anywhere else. This is for family, friends, couples, business or if you are a single person going to relax for the weekend. The staff is by far the best in Jaco,CR and as well the most accommodating. The location is superb and the view can't get any better with the beautifulness of its surrounding's. Again I want to stress how great the staff is at the Montel Carlo and that I will always continue to advise family, friends or anyone else to stay at this incredible place. Thanks again for all that you do!
