Luxury Beach Front Penthouse with Pool & Jacuzzi - Boutique hotels for Rent in Jaco, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We had a wonderful stay! The place was very nice and exactly as described. Our host Phill was informative and courteous throughout. It’s conveniently within walking distance of Main Street, which made getting around easy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it.

From start to finish, a beautiful place. Everything is as described. A fairly spacious and luxurious space. We loved it.

De principio a fin un lugar hermoso, todo es tal como se describe un espacio bastante amplio y lujoso. Nos encantó

Beautiful place with breathtaking views of the ocean. We were in the middle of walkable areas so we didn’t run into any issues. Would definitely recommend!

Great location, very close to bars, restaurants, and right on the beach. This is a seperate room within a larger condo. There are cameras in the living room/ bar area and porch but your room is completely private. The host was very responsive and detailed.

Definitely coming back!! Amazing view with a great location close to everything.

We really enjoyed our stay. As an area for improvement, the bedding could be cleaned a little more carefully. Apart from that small inconvenience, everything else was great. 👍

Disfrutamos mucho la estadía. Como aspecto a mejorar, la ropa de cama podría tener un poco más de cuidado en cuanto a la limpieza. Fuera de ese pequeño inconveniente, todo lo demás estuvo muy bien. 👍

This Review has been written by a person who NEVER actually entered or stayed at our property! The review therefore is 100% inaccurate. We operate to the Highest Standards of Cleanliness and ALL guests have Fresh Clean Sheets and Towels.

Great place , great host , great location , greater view and sound of the ocean . Room well equipped and shared areas .

I enjoyed my stay, and will continue to book this Airbnb.

We stayed here for one night while passing through the area and we hated to leave! The views from both balconies were spectacular to say the least. The check in process was simple. Clean home w many walkable areas near by for shopping and food. The best part was sitting at the pool watching the beach waves crash in!  Would highly recommend

Great stay! Recommended for any couples or solo travelers.

Great place to  stay , definitely deserves the 5 star and I do recommend it great host very helpful

I would not consider or recommend staying at this place again

Kunwarbir has written a retailuatory review after he was reported to Airbnb  for damaging our property, having unauthorized people on the property and breaching Airbnb Rules. We expect Airbnb will remove his review as it Breaches Airbnb Standards

The best location and views in Jaco. The building and its grounds and amenities are pristine and secure. The property is walkable to the beach and all dining and entertainment along the strip, it's one block from the plaza with great restaurants and dessert options. There are also several authentic family-owned sodas nearby. Great destination - great value. We'll be back.

beautiful location, great views. felt like it was in a boutique location. very cool, great kitchen and up to date with technology. woke up to surfers and fell asleep to the waves... Phil was great and very responsive.

Absolutely beautiful place and amazing views. The entire place was very clean and modern. Highly recommend!

Our stay was simply spectacular. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best locations in Jacó—the building is impressive, right in front of the ocean, with incredible views that make the experience even more special. The facilities are perfectly maintained, everything is in excellent condition, and the attention to detail truly stands out. The instructions were very clear from the beginning, which made everything easy and smooth. We also really appreciated all the recommendations provided—they were very helpful and spot on. Definitely the best Airbnb in Jacó. We would come back without a second thought!

My wife and I loved this place. I’ve been to Costa Rica around 20 times and this is by far the nicest place we have stayed at. Very very clean and everything was brand new inside and very high quality of everything inside the Airbnb. I highly recommend. Perfect walking distance to everything

One of the best places I've stayed! I would definitely come back. 🤩

De los mejores lugares donde me he hospedado! Volvería sí o sí. 🤩

Phil is an awesome host. This place is definitely somewhere that would give you Vegas Vibes in Jaco. The pictures do not give the reality of how beautiful this place is in person. Definitely 5 out of 5 and strongly recommend to anyone...

We will definitely be back; an amazing location and view! It's a great experience, totally recommended!

Definitivamente volveremos, una ubicación y vista fenomenal! Es toda una experiencia, totalmente recomendado!

An unparalleled view of the sea, extremely clean, everything you need, very secure, easy access, and very central to everything.

Una vista inigualable al mar, extremadamente limpio, todo lo necesario, mucha seguridad, fácil acceso y muy céntrico a todo.

The place is really great; the location and, above all, the cleanliness were very good. Outstanding amenities and views. We will be back.

Unterkunft ist wirklich top, Lage und vorallem die Sauberkeit waren sehr gut. Ausstattung und Ausblick überragend. Wir kommen wieder.

The place is beautiful, the service was excellent, and the cleanliness of the spaces and the overall experience have led me to recommend it to other friends.

El lugar es hermoso la atención estuvo excelente la limpieza de los espacios y la experiencia en general me llevan a recomendarlo a otros amigos.

Enjoyed the stay tremendously! Everything is as it was described.  I wish i had longer to spend there.

Million dollar views..... a sunset all to yourself ❤️ the pool was just lovely too.. We appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom for sleeping as it was 35 degrees daily. We walked the street at night and the beach in the morning. what a perfect location

It was a spacious and beautiful environment. We really enjoyed the scenery and the beach was right below. Loved access to the pool and the calm atmosphere at night. Will be returning !!

The location in Jaco was excellent. We enjoyed being on the beach and the pool was great. The lanai overlooking the ocean was where we spent most of our time There's a digital information connection which is an excellent way to find places to go / things to do. We went to a romantic restaurant about 20 minutes away (Villa Caletas) Beautiful spot for a sunset dinner. The condo set up was confusing to me. There's a private room just inside the front door but the other space is set up as a common space. No one was there during our stay but it's something that was unclear to me when I booked. Lastly it's been mentioned in other reviews but there are cameras in all common areas. While I understand the potential need for security, it is something you'll need to be comfortable with at this property

We had an Incredible stay at SecretJaco! The common area was unlike anything I’d ever seen before! Thousands of wine bottles alongside a long hallway that lead to the coolest hangout area/ bar and not to mention the wrap around balcony with that VIEW was something we will never forget. We spent the day/ exploring the incredible atmosphere of the bars and restaurants close by and walked along the beach to see surfers, and an absolutely breathtaking sunset. We enjoyed our evening on the balcony with a drink in hand as the sun went down, with great music from the bar across the road. I’d highly recommended this place to anyone looking to enjoy a fun, lively experience with incredible views. Pura Vida 🫶🏼

We loved our one night’s stay at this place. The apartment building is located on the oceanfront of Jaco Beach with a stunning view from their balcony on the 10th floor. Lots of good restaurants in the neighbourhood as well. Next time we are in Jaco or on the way through, we’ll definitely stay there again! 5star!!

First of all, the pros: Stunning view, fairly spacious accommodation and suite, good location (on the beach and close to the city center), excellent kitchen equipment, swimming pool, and hot tub. Now, the major cons: The problem is, if you read Phil’s listing, and then his never-ending emails!!! You think you're going to rent the best of the best, and in fact it's just a nice apartment belonging to a narcissist who thinks they have the best property in the world! The TV didn’t work or worked very poorly, the coffee, although marketed as unlimited, is limited by the amount of beans that your host and lord deigned to put in the coffee maker, a very poorly equipped terrace, no lounge area to enjoy the view, etc., but most of all, the cameras!!! Yes, they are mentioned in the listing, but not explicitly; they are only listed in the amenities section and not in the text. Phil says you’re going to rent the most beautiful luxury apartment in Jaco!!! We really must not have the same idea of luxury!!!

Tout d’abord les côtés positifs : Vue superbe, logement et suite assez vaste, emplacement bon( sur la plage et proche du centre ville), équipement de la cuisine, piscine et jacuzzi top Maintenant les côtés très négatifs : Le soucis, c’est que si on lit l’annonce de Phil, et ensuite ses mails à rallonge !!! On pense qu’on va louer le top du top, et en fait c’est juste un appart sympa d’une personne narcissique qui pense avoir le meilleur bien au monde ! La tv ne fonctionnait pas ou très mal, le café bien que vendu comme illimité est limité par la quantité de grain que votre hôte et seigneur a bien voulu mettre dans la cafetière, une terrasse très mal équipé , pas de salon lounge pour profiter de la vue, …. mais surtout les caméras !!! Oui elles sont notés dans l’annonce mais pas de manière explicite, uniquement dans les équipements et pas dans le texte. Phil dit que vous allez louer le plus bel appart de luxe de jaco !!! On ne doit vraiment pas avoir la même notion du luxe !!!

We love our Guests and offer 5 Star Value at a 2 Star Price which almost all guests appreciate and love. Vincent only stayed with us for 2 nights and as soon as he arrived and viewed the whole penthouse he sent us a nice message saying "beautiful place". Vincent demanded to be allowed to smoke in the Penthouse & Balcony and when we advised Vincent our Airbnb Listing is clearly marked as Non Smoking Property he got really upset and as a result he wrote several false and inappropriate comments in his review. So here are the facts.... 1/ The Coffee Machine in Vincents Guest Suite is a Full Commercial Coffee Machine that holds an ENTIRE BAG of coffee beans! Thats enough coffee to make about 60 Cups of Coffee! We have never had any guest in 7 years drink more than 60 Cups of Coffee in 2 days, Vincent did not drink 60 cups either because when he checked out the coffee machine was still stacked with coffee beans. We are happy to refill the coffee machine at any time but Vincent never asked for more beans because the machine was still full. 2/ We have 2 Large TVs, one in the Lounge and one in the Guest Room, both are connected to IPTV systems with over 5000 TV Channels, the TV systems worked perfectly before and after Vincents stay. Vincent never reported any TV issues during his stay and its impossible for us to fix a problem a guest never tells us about. 3/ Our Penthouse has a wrap amount balcony right on the beach with sweeping views over the whole Jaco Bay and Sunset, the Balcony / Terrace has a Large Comfortable 2 person Hammock, a Swing Chair with Drinks Table and a Lunch, Breakfast or Dinner table and Chair set. Somehow Vincent missed seeing all this furniture as well and the Huge Corner Leather Home Theatre Reclining Couch in the Lounge! 4/ We are a Boutique Hotel with more than $40,000 USD of Liquor on Display, like all hotels we have cameras in the Hotel common area and NO cameras in Guest Rooms. This is normal practice for all hotels. 5/ Vincent has NEVER met Phil, NEVER talked to Phil, in fact Vincent asked Phil 4 Questions by Text message which were: a) Is Parking included, Phil replied Yes, b) What is the gate code to the beach, Phil replied with the Gate Code c) I want to Smoke Inside the Property, Phil replied we are a no Smoking Property d) There are camera in the hotel common area, Phil replied we are a Hotel and have cameras in our Hotel common area like all other hotels. None of these communications were unprofessional, demeaning, or narcissistic in anyway. Vincent was treated with kindness, politeness and respect. Finally the photos of our property and the hundreds of 5 Star Guest Reviews confirm our properties status, uniqueness, prestige and value. We care deeply about all our guests and are committed to ensuring you have the best stay in Jaco possible. Pura Vida

Great location, very private and super nice view from the balcony!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. The host was responsive, accommodating, and made the entire process seamless. The location was convenient and peaceful, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

5 stars isn’t enough!!  Absolutely beautiful penthouse in an amazing location!  Very VERY clean, very responsive and hospitable host.  Check in and check out was very easy.  Can’t wait to come back!

We definitely recommend staying here! We got the romantic package (petals/lights on pathway, kisses heart shaped, printed note with a message I wrote, champagne, chocolate fondue, it was amazing!). The beach is right outside the pool, everything was amazing. Lots of walking distance shops and restaurants.

Beautiful place, very close to restaurants, the beach, everything, 100% recommended

We were only there one night and wow what a beautiful place! A lot bigger than we thought. If you want a wild night out it’s perfect for that, and for hosting a big group of people. The views were stunning, lots of luxury smart tech details, and easy check in. Their was a lot of rules and the host wasn’t as responsive/helpful as I would have liked but other than that it was a great stay 🙏

Very nice apartment right on the beach. Walking distance to everything in Jaco. Easy check-in and clean and nice! Can recommend a day trip to Isla Tortuga, it was amazing! This apartment is highly recommended. Great value for money!

Veldig fin leilighet rett på stranden. Gåavstand til alt i Jaco. Lett innsjekking og rent og pent! Kan anbefale dagstur til isla Tortuga, det var fantastisk! Denne leiligheten Anbefales på det varmeste. Mye for pengene!

Great place - looks exactly like the pictures, great location. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with and seemed to genuinely care that we were comfortable. When a small issue came up, he addressed it immediately and made it right, and we could tell he really cared about our experience. We felt very well taken care of.

Good location for our needs. The balcony view is exceptional. Having traveled a lot and rented a lot of different places to stay, there are 2 things I didn't like as much: 1 - technology as well as understanding how the condo works. There are many doors and many switches. We arrived at 10 p.m. and just wanted to get in and unwind. We would have liked to have had a simpler entrance. Even the next day before leaving, we tried to better understand the logistics of the condo with difficulty 2 - I understand the idea of cross-selling but there is a fair limit. When you pay $250/$300 a night, you expect to have a minimum. There were so many mentions of extra that it was hard to know what was included or not? Following our late check-in, we asked for an extra hour to leave the next day and we got a yes as an answer with a fee of course! Enjoy your stay!

Bonne localisation pour nos besoins. La vue sur le balcon est exceptionnelle. Pour avoir voyager beaucoup et louer beaucoup de différents logements, il y a 2 choses que j’ai moins apprécié: 1 - la technologie ainsi que la compréhension du fonctionnement du condo. Il y a beaucoup de portes et beaucoup d’interrupteurs. Nous sommes arrivés à 10h le soir et nous voulions simplement entrer et décompresser. Nous aimerions avoir eu une entrée plus simple. Même le lendemain avant de quitter, nous avons tenté de mieux comprendre la logistique du condo avec difficulté 2 - Je comprends l’idée de la vente complémentaire mais il y a une juste limite. Lorsque tu paye 250$ / 300$ la nuit, tu t’attends a avoir un minimum. Il y avait tellement de mentions d’extra que c’était difficile de savoir ce qui est inclus ou non? Suivant notre entrée tardif, nous avons demandé une heure supplémentaire pour quitter le lendemain et nous avons eu oui comme réponse avec frais bien sûr! Bon séjour à tous!

Sebastian, you stayed in the most luxurious and exclusive 5 Star Location in Jaco and paid a discounted rate of $152 USD for 1 Night, not the $200 or $300 you refer to in your review. You had exclusive use of the entire penthouse and you wanted $600 of Mini Bar Liquor FREE and FREE late checkout for when ever you wanted to checkout as well. If we did this we would go broke! 99.9% of our Guests value and appreciate the location, amenities, luxury and privacy of SecretJaco. We are the number 1 most luxurious accommodation in Jaco. We sent you a check-in email that gave clear instructions on everything which you obviously didnt read and the Welcome Book in the Room also gave clear instructions but it seems you also ignored that as well. We do everything possible to give our valued and appreciated guests an exceptional experience but if you ignore all the info we provide that makes all out best intentions useless. Pura Vida

Great room! Amazing view, close to the beach. Would stay again!

Amazing place to stay, beautiful views and will  stay again in the future!

It is a dream place, a very luxurious and beautiful smart home to spend nights with your partner

Es un lugar de ensueño, casa inteligente muy lujosa y hermosa para pasar noches con la pareja

The place is beautiful, the views are amazing, clean, comfortable and safe

El lugar es hermoso, las vistas son increíbles, limpio, cómodo y seguro

Hello, this place makes you feel like a king.

Hola, este lugar lo hace sentir a uno como un rey.

Secret Jaco is absolutely beautiful.  The balcony and outside scenery is amazing. The beach is just steps away and a very clean portion of the beach. You can literally walk to town in three minutes and have all the restaurants and grocery stores you want. The home was very comfortable and well appointed. The private suite was roomy with a large bathroom. We loved the place and hope we can come back and visit again.

I Came Here For My 24th birthday and Chile…gagged… this place IS EVERYTHING! HAS EVERYTHING! OMG the pics match the place to the tee, the details in this place is unreal, the service, the area , everything. & Rest assured from the moment you hit Pay this Host Phil, Will Take care of everything and make your stay perfection ! Only Wish I stayed longer!

Charming apartment!! Beautiful and I would come back!! It's worth everything.  Nice view and the bar 100%

Encantador el apto !! Bellísimos y volvería a llegar !! Vale al pena todo.  Bonita vista y el bar 100%

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is so beautiful. The condo was clean and smelled good. The view was absolutely stunning. The host is friendly, very responsive, and flexible with plans. The directions he gave led us right to the place. I will definitely book again when I come back to Jaco.

The apartment was beautiful the suite had small ants everywhere inside the room the bed is a Queen it’s too small for a couples room there was no napkins or paper towels for you to use period and the fact that they went through my trash and tried to charge me for trash is ridiculous. I even had an emergency the day of check in and didn’t get there til the next day and they couldn’t give me 5.00s back but is trying to say something is wrong I’ll visit the beautiful Costa Rica again just not with them at this airb&b

Shalequa Stayed in the Most Prestigious Penthouse Apartment in Jaco for 4 Nights and never complained once about anything, she was given 24 hour support, offered extra cleaning and was very happy throughout her entire stay. The Guest Suite has a Queen Sized Bed as Advertised and the Guest Suite was sparking clean and fully stocked with Toilet Paper, Shampoo and a Full Mini Bar Paper Towels are also in the kitchen. No Ants were reported or seen before, during or after her stay. We operate to the Highest Standards of Cleanliness and Quality and that's why Shalequa gave us a 5 Star Review. Our property is exceptional and one of a kind and we deeply care about each guests experience. Pura Vida

As advertised—EXTRA as it appears, spectacular balcony views worth the price of admission. Security was excellent (apartment and gated parking). Amenities were great: easy pool/hot tub access, well maintained, and steps from the beach. Lighting Malfunction: The system was complicated and not fully functional. Private controls were off/full bright, the common living room lacked a functional switch, and several switches flashed upon arrival. We opted not to report this for our one-night stay, but complex systems should be tested and functional before check-in. Ambience: Highly stylized, "over the top" atmosphere. Guest seeking a restful, mellow, or serene environment should adjust expectations accordingly. Pressure: Documentation is excessive and the stay involves repeated, high-pressure communication regarding the required 5-star rating. Ultimately, a true 5-star experience comes without pressure and shouldn't require host assistance to for essential systems are operating correctly.

Andrew, in over 1100 Guests your the ONLY person who could not turn a light switch on! Your in a 5 Star Penthouse and all lights work perfectly there are no malfunctions. The guest before you AND after you had NO ISSUE turning the lounge lights on. The light switches for the lounge and bar are located beside the fridge with the lounge air conditioner control and they are all CLEARLY  labeled! All you had to do to turn them on is touch the switch, not very hard or technical amigo. Jaco is a holiday town so as a exceptional host we give guests all the information to enjoy it. In 7 years your the first guest to complain we gave you too much information. Have an awesome day. PURA Vida

Let me start by saying the place it’s as described. Clean easy to find and beautiful views.

Great place, highly recommend staying here if you do

Phil’s place in Jaco was exactly as described. The view of the beach was SPECTACULAR and it was so nice to sit out on the hammock and enjoy the view and sounds of the ocean. The space was impeccable, and the location was unbeatable. The beach was right in the backyard, and everything we needed (market, shops, restaurants) were a short walk away. My boyfriend and I could not have asked for a better place to stay for our last couple of days in Costa Rica, and Phil’s place allowed us to explore the beach in Jaco as well as surrounding shops and restaurants. We loved the pool and hot tub as well. The ambiance in Phil’s place with the liquor displays was super cool as well. We had a great experience here and would recommend.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place. The location was convenient and with an amazing view. Everything was just as we expected, we’d definitely love to come back.

Probably one of the best locations on the beach, the view is breathtaking, we had the room for 4 nights and did not need to use the car, everything is walking distance. I definitely recommend this and the host is great and very responsive

A very nice, clean apartment in a great location. I could lay in the hammock on the balcony for days! The hosts were very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was very good, happy with the area and the stay.

Todo muy bien , contentos de la zona y la estancia .

Amazing and super relaxing with a great host!

Everything was perfect, totally recommended.

This is place is amazing! Perfect for couples - literally everything you need. The place was clean, well maintained and I felt safe. My favorite part was the location as it’s very close to the beach and restaurants.

The stay was great. The view was unmatched. There’s nothing better than laying on a hammock as the sun sets listening to the ocean!!

Fantastic apartment over-looking the ocean and close to the main street in Jaco. I loved all the smart home features, especially that 85 inch tv! Overall, it was a fantastic airbnb unit and I will be back.😎

Great, modern chic building. Great location, clean and friendly. Definitely worth the price and would stay here again!

Absolutely awesome! Amazing location near everything but quiet and peaceful at the same time. Spotless and well stocked Great host. Amazing view!

The place is the same as the photos. We really liked the stay, everything is tidy and clean, I would repeat 😉

El lugar es igual a las fotos nos gustó mucho la estadía, todo está ordenado y limpio , volvería a repetir 😉

The place was incredible. Looked better than the photos. Very impressed.

Everything is good in terms of what they offer versus what you pay, it's a couple's option

Todo bien respecto a lo que ofrecen versus lo que se paga es una opcion de pareja

Eugenio, you stayed in the Most Luxurious 5 Star Accommodation in Jaco, received Premium Service and you have zero issues or complaints and give us a 3 Star Review?  Maybe you hit the wrong key on the keyboard. Pura Vida

If I could give 10 stars I would! My stay in Jacó was absolutely amazing—everything exceeded expectations. From the location to the hospitality, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

the accommodation and disturbing for the cameras it's disturbing, I don't recommend this accommodation if the fact of being filmed bothers you I have trouble understanding the principle, there was a bedroom in the apartment. The others were not occupied and did not appear to be rented. The accommodation disturbed me.

le logement et perturbant pour les caméras c’est perturbant, je ne conseille pas ce logement si le faite d’être filmé vous gêne j’ai du mal à comprendre le principe, il y avait une chambre dans l’appartement. Les autres n’étaient pas occupé et n’avait pas l’air d’être loué. Le logement m’a perturbé.

The views were amazing! On top of being a 3 minute walk to so many restaurants and bars it’s right on the beach! Highly recommend thank you again the stay was great!

The property is great and matches she photos. Location is in a prime area, very walkable to the beach, activities, restaurants and bars. The view is amazing. The only downside for me was the cameras  inside the unit. I felt the need to be secluded into the guest suite instead of throughly enjoying the entire living space. From the entryway, hallway, kitchen space, living room, and the patio I couldn’t help but feel like I was being watched and as a solo traveler I ended up checking out early.

Woooowwww! Loss of words with this place. The views are beyond amazing and the actually staying here was so peaceful and luxurious! Everything is walkable. Definitely worth staying here

The apartment is beautiful, located in an upscale tower in Jaco Beach, tastefully decorated, and with views that will leave you amazed. The space appears to be shared with the owner, as there are a couple of locked doors, though we never actually encountered them during our stay. One concern worth noting is that there are cameras inside the apartment, including in the hallways, kitchen, living room, and balcony. While I understand the desire to protect valuable items, continuous indoor monitoring does not align with Airbnb’s current policies and may feel intrusive to guests.

Gustavo, had the entire  Penthouse to himself during his stay.. There were no other guests and no owner or other staff on the premises. There are No Cameras in Any Guest Room, None. But as is fully disclosed in our Airbnb Listing we have over $40,000 USD of Liquor on display and it's a requirement of our Building Manager and our Insurance company that we have security cameras in the Hotel Shared Area to protect that asset. This is fully compliant with Airbnb Policy for Hotels.

Great place, with amazing views and a great location. The place is very comfortable, it has everything you need, and it has a great value. Would definitely come back.

This place was stunning! The pictures are as beautiful and clean as the place. It is in the best location. Right on the beach with a wrap around balcony and walking distance to the main Jaco street with restaurants, bars, coffee shops and grocery. I wish we would have had more time here. You will receive a welcome book before check in. Please read all pages before you arrive. It has quality information about the are and things to do. We will be back!! ❤️ JoAnne and Jay

We enjoyed the great views from the balcony!

Excellent place, very nice apartment. We'll be back

We loved our stay at Secret Jacó. The place was clean, well equipped and exactly as shown in the pictures. The location is perfect.

Nos encantó nuestra estadía en Secret Jacó. El lugar estaba limpio, bien equipado y exactamente como se muestra en las fotos. La ubicación es perfecta. El anfitrión fue muy amable y atento, siempre disponible para cualquier consulta. Nos hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Sin duda volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí. ¡100% recomendado!

Airbnb itself is very beautiful.. the cameras were kind of a throw off but understandable for the amount of liquor that’s inside.. always felt like someone was in there with us or watching us though. But it’s surrounded by everything very easy to walk to. And he recommends very good spots as well.

Hi Jailyn, we are glad you loved your stay at SecretJaco and gave us a 5 Star Rating. There is more than $50,000 USD of Liquor in the Hotel common area and our Insurance requires that the common area is protected which is normal for all Hotels and fully compliant with Airbnb Hotel Standards. Thanks for being an awesome Guest, we appreciate you.

100% recommended for a good rest and an amazing view! The service and recommendations were the best

Recomendado 100%  para pasar un buen descanso y tener una vista increíble! La atención y recomendaciones fueron de lo mejor

Looks just as described. Phil's place was nice and relaxing with that gorgeous beach breeze. Nice pool and jacuzzi overlooking the beach..Only regret is we couldn't stay longer!! Far enough away from the bars and restos that there's no noise at night. Clean bathrooms and plenty of towels. 5/5 stars. Thank you!!

100% recommended, every detail is extremely well taken care of, beachfront, ideal for surfing, it's wonderful, I definitely recommend it without a second thought.

%100 recomendado cada detalle está sumamente cuidado, frente a la playa, ideal para el surf, es una maravilla, sin duda lo recomiendo a ojo cerrado.

Luxury, comfort and technology in the best possible location in Jacó. The endless ocean view and sound of waves make the stay unforgettable.

Lujo, comodidad y tecnología en la mejor ubicación posible en Jacó. La infinita vista al mar y sonido de oleaje hacen la estadía inolvidable.

The location was amazing and within walking distance to everything. The Airbnb was very clean and equipped with all the needed amenities. It had amazing views of the beach. The pool was also great and easily accessible! The instructions and recommendations provided by the hosts were also great and very easy to follow. I would highly recommend SecretJaco to anyone!
