Top San Juan de Mata Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn By Marriott San Jose Alajuela El Coyol

10/10 Excellent

"Cuarto amplio y agradable. Buen desayuno"

Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró

10/10 Excellent

"The Oceano is located right in the middle, so it is walking distance to anywhere in jaco. The staff is more than helpful, the breakfast every morning is amazing because it is locally prepared. Parking is easy and has security 24/7. The rooms are clean and spacious with the best beds in business. I've been staying there since 2019 while at the beach."

Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"El hotel está aceptable, sin embargo, el funcionamiento es algo restringido y además hacen competencia desleal porque nos dijeron que si se reserva directamente con ellos hay otros beneficios que si se hace la reserva con otras plataformas y eso no me parece justo para el huésped porque igual se está pagando por un servicio"

Hotel South Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The property was going thru a little bit of a remodel but that did not stop us from having an amazing time. The staff was great, and catered to anything we needed. It was right on the beach and was amazing for sunsets. Even when we had a situation occur which forced us to stay for a few extra days, everyone was very accommodating and made our challenging situation easier to deal with. Highly recommend."

Paradise Bay Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"Great boutique motel right in front of the entrance to Los Sueños Resort & Marina. Nice, clean rooms and great beds with a friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend this hotel."

Crocs Resort & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing view and spacious rooms."

Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Costa Rica, Autograph Collection®

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very beautiful, but something to keep in mind. The food and beverages from the restaurant are very over priced. Just as an example a glass of Prosecco was roughly 22-25$ (USD) which is enough to just go out in town and buy your own bottle. Also, the breakfast for just my wife and I (buffet breakfast) cost us roughly $70 USD. The breakfast selection was basic and not impressive at all. We basically wondered what we paid 70 dollars for when we saw our choices. The property is beautiful and the service was amazing! Please keep in mind it is in the jungle so you will hear jungle noises at night. Which is to be expected and honestly I thought it was pretty neat."

Pumilio Mountain & Ocean Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, well-equipped. Unfortunately the dinner kitchen was closed while we were there, but the breakfast was excellent, especially the coffee. We loved our stay here."

Amarena Canvas Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled here alone in early September. The property was beautiful! The rooms were very clean and modern, and the proximity to the beach was amazing. The property is secure - I felt very safe there. The food was incredible, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. I hope to come back with my family soon!"
