Great stay and great host! Beautiful location!

Prior to the date of our booking, the host was very proactive in communication to ensure a smooth transition. Once we arrived, the host greeted us at the door and made us feel very well taken care of.  The photos on the website do not do it justices. It's a far more spacious then the photos indicate. It was a great layout, especially with the Penthouse floor. The whole area was perfect for walking to restaurants & bars with so many different options. We took several walks on the beach, which was literally a few steps away. We had a small issue with the waterfall system to the pool and the staff responded so quickly, it was hardly an inconvenience. All the rooms were very clean with with the scent to match the ambiance. Even the security in the late evening was so friendly. Each morning, they provided a cleaning service that was fast and efficient. They even helped some of my friends ensure that they did not leave their personal belongings when checking out. It was a really great experi

Great place overall in city of jaco beach pretty close to the beach and plenty of bars and restaurants that are walking distance

Philipe, thank you very much , we will work on improving everything for all of you .

Great location and great stay for large groups! Would recommend.

We stayed at Rick’s AirBnb to celebrate my brother’s bachelor weekend in CR. Our stay was everything that we expected and more, the accommodations were up to par and the communication from all staff 24/7 was unmatched. This was a perfect space for eight guys to have their own private space. The communal areas were also spacious and accommodating for entertaining ourselves in our guests. Everything is in walking distance, but you may want to rent a golf cart. The staff and host were wonderful. We will be back!

This Airbnb delivered a high-quality experience from start to finish. The location is a major advantage—less than a one-minute walk to the beach and about two minutes to the main strip with restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Everything was easily accessible, which made the stay very convenient. The layout of the property is well thought out, especially for group travel. The kitchen and main gathering area are separate from the bedrooms, allowing for socializing without disturbing others. Each bedroom includes a private bathroom, which adds a strong level of comfort and privacy. The private pool was clean, well-maintained, and kept at a refreshing temperature throughout the stay. The availability of a golf cart rental was also a valuable feature, making it easy to get around when walking wasn’t ideal. The penthouse suite stood out as particularly impressive—spacious and aligned with a luxury-level experience.

Rick and the team at hotel jaco exceeded o ur expectations. They were super friendly and very responsive from the day I booked. The rooms were very private and bathrooms were very cleaned. Highly recommend this spot for anyone!

Nice place with lot of room for big family gatherings or friends gatherings .

Great rental for a large group! There were 16 of us and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we need to cook. Angelica was super helpful in getting us checked in.

Thank you very much for your kind words, see you next time in Jacó

This is the absolute perfect place for groups. Everyone has their own private space but can gather in the community area. 2 refrigerators for storage is fantastic. And everything is in walking distance. We would only stay here if we come back. Only thing I would ask for is the pool to be cleaned (skimmed). Couldn’t find the equipment because I would have done it myself. Definitely didn’t stop us from using it.

It was our pleasure to host you, see you next time!

Very nice place, but with a few hiccups. The address shows up in Maps as two different locations, which made things confusing for our driver. The property also goes by the name Hotel Zócalo. Check‑in is actually done at Hotel Jaco, and then you walk about half a block back up the road to Zócalo with your keys. When we arrived, the lock on the entrance gate wasn’t working, but the staff resolved it quickly. The pool was refreshing and very well maintained. The penthouse suite is absolutely stunning! The other rooms were fine for a short stay, but a bit cramped, and some had a noticeable musty smell. The location is excellent—you can easily walk to the beach, the main road, and plenty of restaurants and bars.

We had a great time at Zocalo! Staff was very responsive and it was really great that we had access to the hotel amenities in addition to what is listed. At one point we requested more towels and they were there in minutes! I would definitely recommend staying at Zocalo!

This place exceeded our expectations. A great beach and great restaurants within walking distance. A very practical place for large groups (families). Easy for cooking. altogether a great find.

We had a wonderful family holiday stay at Hotel Zocalo! You can’t beat the location, basically on the beach, walkable to all shops, restaurants, ATM, etc. We particularly loved Zona K. Check-in was easy, the staff are friendly and easy to communicate with. The service was wonderful. Having daily housekeeping is a treat. Sea Salt restaurant on site was convenient too. 10/10 highly recommend this place.

Very nice place, the host is very friendly, the place is super comfortable and big, just for large families.

Bien bonito el lugar, el anfitrión muy amigable, el lugar super cómodo y grande apenas para familias grandes.

Always responsive, extremely helpful, and appreciated their assistance with getting to and from the airport. Place is really nice and surpassed our expectations.

We loved everything about our stay and the house. There were 9 of us, 3 being children and the layout of the house was amazing. Having the penthouse was so convenient for the kids to hang out in, their ages were 10 and 12 so they loved it. highly recommend for families, couples' trip, or girls trip!

The staff Ramon, Rachel, Angelic, and bar tenders were amazingly nice and helpful.  They treated us like royalty. Not enough can be said about the staff….simply wonderful!

Rick location was great for gatherings and very private. The house was perfect for groups of friends or family. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Had a great time at Rick's place.  The place was exactly as shown in the photos. Goat were responsive..... The pent house is a site to see. Would definitely rent again.

Rick’s listing is just perfect, a lot of restaurants near by the beach is 1 min away , the night life is the best location is safe with security barriers just overall so much good to say you have to be there to enjoy it! Thanks Rick we will definitely be back.

Great host. His staff was phenomenal, from the chefs provided to the daily housekeeping. The facility’s beautiful and great for groups. The caveat is every room except the main penthouse suite is a small concrete box room. Definitely gives dorm room vibes. Would have been better if there was a main bathroom in kitchen area where everyone congregates. The penthouse is beautiful but it’s at the top of 3 hot flights of stairs. It was the best room but not ideal location for entertaining the group. we had a good time using the kitchen area and pulling up chairs near the pool. If there was a bathroom near the pool house that would be much better. All that said, it was still worth the price! 😀

Place was amazing. Every thing was walkable and staff was super friendly.  We had a group of 14 for a family surfing trip and it was amazing

Everything was great, you can walk everywhere or rent a golf cart and explore. People are friendly. Airbnb host was very helpful with our trip. Provide us with atv and fishing plans. Our place was super spacious and clean. Highly recommended.

My party had an excellent experience at this Airbnb location. The property was immaculate and the surrounding area was gorgeous. Rachel made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Jaco.

This place is GREAT! you need to experience it to understand the emphasis on GREAT! Will stay again!

This house was perfect! The pool was awesome, the penthouse was insanely cool and spacious, and every bedroom having their own bathroom was very convenient. Highly recommend. It was very safe and secure and in a prime location right next to the beach and Jaco restaurants and nightlife. My crew and I had an absolutely blast. One thing though is that there is some neighboring construction which can be a bit noisy, but that is no fault of Hotel Zocalo and nothing they can do about it. In general, this place is great, affordable, clean, in a great location, and just a great time. Five out of five stars!

amazing house.  penthouse and pool house are awesome 👌🏽

🌟 A Hidden Gem in Costa Rica – Hotel Zócalo is Pure Magic! 🌟This beautiful boutique hotel is a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and authentic local warmth. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction felt personal and sincere – it’s clear they truly care about their guests. Our room was stunning – immaculately clean and tastefully decorated with local touches. We woke up each morning to the sound of tropical birds and enjoyed fresh coffee on the balcony overlooking lush greenery. What really sets Hotel Zócalo apart is the vibe – it’s peaceful, inviting, and full of character. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or enjoying locally-sourced breakfast it all feels effortlessly comfortable. The location is perfect close to beautiful beaches, adventure excursions, and vibrant local culture, but still tucked away enough to feel like a true retreat. If you’re looking for a place that offers an unforgettable experience, Hotel Zócalo is it.

Ha sido un gran placer el haberte hospedado , te esperamos la próxima vez en Jaco ! Pura vida!

The host was extremely responsive. We loved the used of Hotel Jaco’s pool, restaurant, room service, & beach access.

Casa Zocalo was awesome! Plenty of room for everyone and very close to the beach. Check in was very easy at hotel jaco.

This space was perfect! Exactly as described, easy to get around and extremely private. Rachel and Angelica were awesome! Both extremely helpful with any questions we had,  recommendations needed and requests we had. Highly recommend staying in this space when visiting Jaco.

I can’t say enough about our stay at this beautiful property. The location was right in the heart of Jaco, walking distances to all of the towns most popular bars and restaurants. Everyone in my group was accommodated with their own room and personal bathrooms to go along with it. Cleaning services were provided daily upon request. The rules were very straight forward and well communicated. Basically just keep the house and rooms locked when you leave & enjoy it as much as you can while you’re there. They’re very relaxed with late night gatherings, so be sure to not take advantage and just take care of the property. What made the stay special was the staff going above and beyond for us since the moment we booked it. Angelica and her team were fantastic hosts & were happy to provide us with everything we need to assure a safe and comfortable stay. Our bachelor party weekend was a success & we absolutely would stay here again if given the chance in the future. Pura vida!

The house and staff on site itself are great. They were very communicative via texting. There was an issue with a few of the showers only having cold water....I called to have it fix, they said it was fixed but I was taking cold showers all week. 3 months prior to the trip, I inquired about shortening the days due the bachelor/fiance breaking up. This led to a lot of people backing out of the bachelor party. I put down a $2000+ deposit but they would not refund (even 50% or a portion) because they couldn't guarantee it to be filled. I was then told by the host it was an Air BnB policy, however after talking to Air BnB support they said it's up to to host. We were suppose to have 10-14 people, only had 4 people. I wish they were more accommodating prior by giving alternative solutions because I was willing to work with them. I would recommend the location, however make sure your plans are bulletproof before making a deposit.

Zocalo Hotel was prefect form our group of 9. Each room has a private bathroom, and the penthouse provided our large group with a second kitchen and living room. Having a private pool was a luxury and we enjoyed the amenities available to zocalo guests at Hotel Jaco. But above all else were the exceptionally nice and welcoming hotel Jaco staff managing the house. They were readily available for anything we needed, including housekeeping, daily maintenance, and connection to local attractions and day trips. I highly recommend this rental.

My friends and I absolutely enjoyed this home. It was literally perfect. A private Airbnb with hotel accommodations. It gets no better than that. The service is fast and customer service great.  I will definitely visit Costa Rica again and book this home.

Loved our stay here! This place is HUGE! 8 bedrooms with 1 queen bed and a bathroom for each and 1 penthouse with 2 queen beds and a bathroom! Pool was awesome! Staff was great! Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Super nice hosts, always friendly and responded quickly to every message. The place is exactly as described and very nice. 100% recommendation!

Super nette Gastgeber, immer freundlich und haben auf jede Nachricht schnell geantwortet. Die Unterkunft ist genau wie beschrieben und sehr schön. 100% Weiterempfehlung!

11 of us celebrated my 50th at Zocalo for a week and LOVED it!! It was a 1 minute walk to the main street, and 1 minute walk to the beach, so we always had something to do. There was more than enough room for all of us, whether in our rooms, by the pool, or in the pool house... (where we had a private chef cook us all dinner!!) It was my birthday so i got the third floor suite. It's AMAZING.. only downfall is the stairs lol. Check in was super easy and friendly even though we got there in 2 seperate groups, and one group was pretty late at night. Communication was simple and fast. I would totally recommend Zocalo for large groups that want their own rooms and a community space.

Place is in the perfect location! Close tk everything. Perfectly central. The size of the place was perfect for our group. The pool was a bonus especially after getting out of the ocean with is a minute walk. It has everything you need and was cleaned on request daily. Ramon Angelica Rachel and Eliecer were super responsive and helped with transport, excursions and issues immediately and with great customer service. Location again is key. Amazing delicious restaurants, beach and nature all there. Awesome accommodations for a large group! Thanks for having us!

There were 11 in my family and this place fit everyone’s taste and needs.

This was an amazing place to stay. Greats for multi family trips with older kids. ( all the rooms are separate) don’t plan to cook, there is nothing in the kitchen. Loved the lay out in the extra kitchen . It was great to be able to use the gym and pool in the Hotel Jaco. I highly recommend this place. Last suggestion- wait until you are in county to make your excursions. They are much cheaper and readily available.

Juliet , thank you very much for your kind words , we will look into the points you have mentioned in your appreciated note. Thank you very much and we wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year!

Great place for a big group. Confortable, private and close to the center. Communication was awesome as well.

This Airbnb exceeded expectations. The layout was perfect for a large group. Can’t wait to come back! 👌🏼

The super clean facilities also provided excellent service to us.

Las instalaciones super limpias, además nos brindaron un excelente servicio.

The place was great, would honestly book again!

Our stay was nice. Rick was very responsive. We had an A/C issue in one of the rooms but Rick made sure to get it taken care of. We weee right by the beach and walkable to shops and entertainment. I enjoyed my stay

The staff was amazing specially RmAngelica, Rachel, Ramon and Eliecer all excursions were easy to join and everything was handled by the staff!

It was an amazing stay at Zocalo. Management was on top of everything and the check in process was seamless. Would stay here again 100%!

I recently stayed at Hotel Zocalo with a group of 10, and I cannot speak highly enough of Eliecer and his wonderful staff. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and exceptional service. Despite the size of our group, we all fit comfortably in the accommodations, which were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Eliecer and his team went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our stay was perfect. Whether it was providing excellent recommendations for local activities or ensuring we had everything we needed, their attention to detail was remarkable. The location of the hotel was ideal—right in the heart of the city—yet it still provided a peaceful and relaxing retreat. The entire staff was professional, kind, and attentive, and it’s clear that Eliecer’s leadership creates a welcoming atmosphere for all guests. Our group had an unforgettable experience, and we will absolutely be back.

Hola Darius muchas gracias por tus amables palabras , ha sido un gran placer el tenerles en nuestra casa , esperamos poderle hospedar en el futuro. Ramon Martinez

Great place and location! Looked exactly as listed

We had an absolutely fantastic stay! Our group loved the place from the moment we arrived. The layout was perfect for our needs—each member of our group had their own private room and bathroom, which made everything so much more comfortable and convenient. The space was clean, modern, and felt like a home away from home. The highlight, however, was the host. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Not only was the communication seamless, but they also helped us arrange transportation and set us up with some incredible excursions that made our trip even more memorable. Their local recommendations were spot on, and we felt very well taken care of throughout our stay. The location was ideal, and everything we wanted to do was a short walk. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone. A solid 10/10! Would definitely stay here again!

Zocalo in Jaco was the perfect property and setting for our stay. The complex is beautifully maintained, with eight spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bath, and an impressive two-story penthouse suite. The property was spotless, easy to access, and conveniently located just steps from the beach and within walking distance of everything in Jaco. The host's communication was excellent, and the on-ground team was always prepared, checking in daily to ensure we had everything we needed. Zocalo combines privacy, quality, and convenience, making it an outstanding choice for any group traveling to Jaco.

Colton and crew were such a great group and it was entirely our pleasure hosting you! See you next time !!

Beautiful place!!! 100% recommended!! All the hosts are great!! My family and I had a wonderful time. Check it out y’all won’t regret it…

Great place. Walkable distance to a lot of great spots. Would book again

Had my bachelor party here and it was excellent. Would love to come back someday with friends and/or family. Plenty of room and tons of fun inside and out and about. Location and staff are wonderful. Thank you again for hosting us!

A group of friends and I stayed here and we loved this place. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the host was very responsive to any questions we had about Costa Rica, Jaco, excursions, etc. Would suggest this place to anyone traveling to Jaco with a large group.

Best place to start with a large group. Everything you need is in walking distance! And let’s not forget the penthouse. Very nice.

Great place to have a good time with friends, the place comes with everything you need to have an amazing time, recommended for parties and goodbyes. The rooms are very well equipped and clean. The cleaning crew exc. Excellent communication was very responsive, the attention of the Jaco hotel, especially that of Ramón, was always attentive to our stay, his kindness and attention was incredible. I recommend this place to enjoy in Jaco, the beach is a few steps away and has ample parking for large groups. Very pleased with the stay, I hope to be back ☺️

Excelente lugar para pasarla bien con amigos, el lugar cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasarla increíble recomendado para fiestas y despedidas. Las habitaciones muy bien equipadas y limpias. El equipo de limpieza exc. La comunicación excelente todo lo resolvieron súper rápido muy atentos, la atención del hotel Jaco increíble especialmente la de Ramón siempre estuvo pendiente de nuestra estadía, su amabilidad y atención fue increíble. Recomiendo este lugar para disfrutar en Jaco, la playa está a unos cuantos pasos y cuenta con amplio parqueo para grupos grandes. Muy complacida con la estadía, espero volver ☺️

Hotel Zócalo is AMAZING! I stayed with a group of 11 people for my 5th annual group trip and everything worked out as planned. There was a wifi issue - solved in less than 24 hrs. It’s super convenient to everything and the additional perk of being able to use amenities to Hotel Jaco made everything even better. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone coming to Jaco.  It is truly an incredible experience and if I’m ever back in Jaco, I know where my money is going.

This experience was incredible. Beautiful place, 3 floors, top floor penthouse suite. Beautiful pool. I had an amazing time with friends here. The service was ridiculously out of this world. Cleaned the house at the time you wanted everyday. Daily check in from the staff. Angelica, Ramon, Rachel and Eliezer kept our rooms and common areas cleaned and Beautiful, they were very kind always with a smile on their faces. The pool was maintained in the early morning ready for use as soon as we waked. We had night time security right outside our door. I recommend this place to EVERYONE coming to Jaco, it is a truly unbelievable experience. I will be coming back soon. Thanks again Angelica, Ramon, Rachel and Eliezer for making our experience, exclusive and unbelievable. PS, I left my passport in the hotel. they were kind enough to send a driver with the stuff I left for a fair fee. I MADE MY FLIGHT!

Great location close to the beach and everything was within walking distance.

this is the second time I have stayed here with a group of 10, everything worked out as planned and any issues we had were addressed quickly. Super convenient location and close to supermarkets and restaurants. Would recommend and would stay again.

Nice and comfortable place and also great value for the price. The staff from hotel Jaco down the street were great and they were always there to help. Having a person at our door from 11pm-5am every night made us feel safe. Most things in Jaco beach are walking distance from here so that made things easier. The hosts were quick to respond when needed.

Fantastic accommodation, we arrived at an extremely clean accommodation. It looked better than in the pictures, the beach was a very quick walk away, the pool was another great option. Angelica and Ramón made us feel at home, having a cleaning service every day as if there were a hotel (Magnificent). Being able to also have access to the facilities of the Jaco hotel is a plus that no one expected. Highly recommended!

Great host and really good people at the hotel next door always helping when needed.

I had a wonderful stay everything was nice and close to all the good restaurants

Can't beat this spot. We had our company retreat in Jaco this year and it was far more than we expected. Having access to the nearby hotel and all of the amenities makes this far better than a normal AirBnB. The house is massive, the rooms are everything you need, the lounge area is perfect for group dinners and the turn down service from the hotel was hugely helpful. The area can feel a little questionable at times but with a member of the hotel staff at your gate each night, you have nothing to worry about. 10/10 stay without a doubt.

This place was amazing i will be coming back

The gated area down the street from hotel Jaco is the property. It was safe and easy to navigate. We were close to the main strip and a two min walk to the beach. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. We were able to not only utilize our space but everyone hotel Jaco had to offer as well. They respect your space and only offer services when asked or at least once a day. I thought the rooms were connected in some way, not sure why I expected that but they are not. Not a deal breaker but a little nerve wracking for my young teens who had to keep track of their room key. Which didn’t end up  being an issue. The common area and private pool were nice especially with young kids, we were able to cook and hang out while also having eyes on the pool. The drive there was pretty easy, and the location was easy to find. Again I can’t emphasize enough how great the staff were. Super friendly and just so helpful. They truly represent the pura vida culture well.

Thank you very much for your 4 stars review , l though we had a 5 stars , but please if can on private let me know about any improvement to make up to 5. Ramon Martinez Thank you again.

Casa Zócalo was an incredible stay for the 8 of us - a true VIP experience. We each had our own room, had one left to spare, and the penthouse room was straight out of a movie. The pool was great and everything went perfectly. In addition, we were provided with our own personal security guard near the entrance, making us feel extra safe. And the hospitality provided by Rick and his team (Angelica, Lina, Ramon, and Eliecer) made our trip even better. They also helped us setup all of our transport and excursions, which were amazing. And they were always available and catered to all of our requests promptly. Would definitely return!

Perfect place ! Perfect set up for our bachelor party. Everyone had safes and privacy and a great common area!

This is a great and unique property, for several reasons. First, while it has all the benefits of a private rental, it also offers all the convenience and benefits of a hotel. That's because the property is managed by the adjacent Jaco Hotel. So daily room and kitchen (a nice big one btw, in its own structure just off the pool) cleaning is available, as is access to the hotel beachfront, spa, guest services, etc. The property's eight cozy BRs all come with their own baths and split AC units, which is nice. But its the REALLY spectacular penthouse suite that also sets the place apart. Its really a duplex apartment, and is off-the-scale bigger and nicer than anything you'd find at this price point.

Perfect place for our 7th annual buddies gathering.

Great spot for our large group! The front desk staff at the hotel were super helpful and friendly. We loved having the communal kitchen next to the pool. There was plenty of space for our group of 15. The pool and privacy was a real treat. We appreciated being walking distance to anything you would need. Tips: Cafe Mar on the corner has VERY friendly staff and tasty to go drinks. Jerah Thai is delicious Bar Jaco has the best chile Guaro Mundaka has amazing Acai bowels and smoothies

WOW!!!! This place is incredible, particularly if you have a large group. The house was as described, immaculately clean and the kitchen was well stocked so that we could cook if we wanted to. Close to everything so no need for a car. Easy check in, very friendly and helpful staff. We loved our time here and were so sad to go. Definitely will be back! I’d give ten stars if I could. !

Perfect venue for 14 people (family and friends).  Private secure compound (electronic gate) with beach steps away.  Restaurants, grocery store, shopping all within walking distance. We did not need a car. The service was 5 star as Zocalo as it is connected to Hotel Jaco.  Response time was crazy fast and so helpful. Ramon, Angelica, Joshua, Lina  and Eliecer were unbelievable. They assisted with booking tickets  for attractions and logistics  (which changed several times and they always accommodated our needs). In all our travels we have never had such responsive,  friendly, professional service. I cannot say enough about the people. The kitchen/diningroom/sitting room off pool was our gathering place. Kitchen was functional and between the penthouse kitchen we had enough plates etc for 14. The pool side rooms are small, minimal storage and could use a refresh but minimal time spent in them. Sea Salt restaurant at Hotel excellent for happy hour food. For large groups Zocalo is A+.

Read All: The property is nice. We enjoyed the pool onsite and the pool room made it easy to prepare meals while keeping eyes on the kids right outside in the pool. The proximity to the beach was amazing, the kids rode their bikes there each morning. We also took advantage of Sea Salt and the hotel pool. The negatives were that two rooms had mold issues and smelled of mold. You could see quite a bit of it in those bathrooms. I also want to call out the safety concern. On our arrival night we believe the new hotel employee who came to fix an AC unit cased the room bc late that night someone entered the property, entered that room, climbed over a sleeping baby and stole a computer bag, hats, sunglasses & AirPods. The hotel assumed we left the gate open and didn’t do much until they found footprints climbing out of the property on our second to last night bc we had deadbolted the gate and someone got “trapped” in the property. They then gave us a security guard for our last night.

I can’t say enough good things about how lovely this place is. The host was extremely accommodating, and was very responsive to even the tiniest of requests. Super professional!

Our stay was very enjoyable. The Airbnb was able to accommodate 14 adults and one infant comfortably. The location was perfect and we were close to everything we needed without having to have a car. It was steps away from the beach and we were able to use the amenities at the hotel next door. The food at the hotel was great and the service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Any questions or issues - which weren't many - the staff responded quickly. The rooms facing the pool were smaller than I thought, but considering we're on vacation and were only in there to sleep and bathe, it wasn't a big issue. All in all everyone had a great time!!!

The house zacolo is very close to the beach and is very clean. A beautiful pool with a kitchen next to it and a large room with TV. The loft upstairs is great, very bright and welcoming. However, the other individual rooms (all en suite) are very small and somewhat dark. 4 rooms are out to the pool, the other 4 rooms only have side windows and therefore it is quite dark there. If you only sleep in the room, just like us, it is nice in the room. You can make yourself comfortable by the pool. Check in was totally easy and the staff at Hotel Jaco is super sweet and nice. The restaurant is also recommended there with very dear staff.

Das Haus zacolo ist sehr nah am Strand und sehr sauber. Ein schöner Pool mit Küche daneben und grossen Raum mit TV. Das Loft im Obergeschoss ist mega toll, sehr hell und einladend. Die anderen einzelnen Zimmer (alle en suite) sind jedoch sehr klein und etwas dunkel. 4 Zimmer sind zum Pool raus, die anderen 4 Zimmer haben nur seitliche Fenster und daher ist es dort recht dunkel. Wenn man nur, wie wir auch, nur schläft im Zimmer ist es fein. Man kann es sich gut am Pool gemütlich machen. Einchecken war total einfach und das Personal am Hotel Jaco ist super lieb und nett. Ebenso ist das restaurant dort zu empfehlen mit sehr lieben Personal.

Excellent location in Jaco, meters from the beach... they gave us excellent service and the house met all more expectations I would highly recommend this house if you are looking to be close to everything but with privacy! The treatment they gave us was amazing from before we got there until check out!

Place was nice and clean great location the beach was walking distance. Secluded no one complained about to much noise. Safe and secure location would definitely stay there again

Hotel Zocalo was the PERFECT place to stay in Jaco Beach. We brought our guests in for our wedding and it was everything we hoped for. The staff at Hotel Jaco were absolutely amazing! Very responsive and bilingual, so it made it easy for our non-Spanish speaking guests. Our guests were happy with their private rooms, the penthouse is beautiful, and the common area/pool was used to gather everyone every day. We loved it!!

Outstanding home with so much to do in the area. Very spacious and peaceful. I highly recommend this place and promise no disappointment. Thanks for being a great host and looking forward to staying here again.

Rick, this place was better than we imagined. I didn’t think it was real based on the pictures, figured this had to be a scam. No way!! This was legit…yes sir!!! We will book this spot every single time. Joshua and Angelica were first class! They were there anytime we needed them! Great job, JACO!!!!!!!

The place was clean, beautiful and mere steps from the beach.

Hotel Zocalo was amazing! We had a group of 16 and stayed for 5 nights. Ramon was very accommodating to any of our needs and requests and responded immediately. The location was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Thank you very much for your visit and we hope to have you back in the future!
