The Space

The HBO show Betting on Paradise was filmed entirely at Amavi. Since then, the property has evolved into a private sanctuary designed for connection and relaxation. Set in the heart of Costa Rica’s Pura Vida spirit, Amavi brings together artistic design and tropical surroundings for a distinctive getaway.
At the center of the property is a lush courtyard with a pool and lively bar area. It is an ideal setting for relaxing, sharing cocktails, or enjoying the sun. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow together, allowing guests to take in the tropical air throughout the stylish common areas and private bedrooms.
For group meals and special gatherings, the rooftop dining terrace offers sunset views and the sound of the ocean in the background.

An Unforgettable Stay at Hotel Amavi! We had an amazing stay at Hotel Amavi while celebrating my 40th birthday with 18 friends and family! The property was beautiful, spacious, comfortable and perfect for our group. A special thank you to Matthew, who was absolutely exceptional! From planning to departure, he was always available to assist with anything and everything we needed. Whether it was transportation, activities, reservations or last-minute requests, nothing was ever too much trouble. His responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond made our experience even more memorable. Hotel Amavi exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it for any group getaway or special celebration! Thank you again, Matthew, for helping make my 40th birthday so unforgettable! Pura Vida!

Amavi is perfect for a retreat, family gathering, or freind get away. You can choose to have privacy in your room, but plenty of nice spaces for whole group to gather. Quiet, safe, and great location! The staff was the cherry on top. Matt was there to answer any questions and to book reservations, tours and massages. Chef Jonathan had great food, prepared on time with a variety of menu choices, and always had a smile on his face. Uranie the cleaning lady was on top of everything and willing to help with anything, and makes the best smoothies! We hosted our first yoga retreat here and it was the perfect space!

I booked Hotel Amavi for my bestfriends bachelorette trip and lets just say the bride was EXTREMELY happy and had the time of her life!! No complaints whatsoever. Message from the bride: Our stay at Hotel Amavi in Costa Rica was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, cared for, and completely safe. A special thank you to Matthew, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and memorable. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and always made sure everything was organized, from reservations to activities, so we could simply relax and enjoy our trip. As a bride celebrating such a special season of my life, feeling comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for made this experience even more meaningful. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the location made everything so convenient. I’ve already recommended Hotel Amavi to future brides visiting Costa Rica. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for making our stay so special! ❤️

I haven’t written a review in years, but this one deserves the attention. Hotel Amavi was the PERFECT location for my friends and I (group of 12) on a peaceful and still enjoyable retreat to Costa Rica. Matt was above and beyond our expectations and although we were only there for a short time, we will definitely be returning again soon. If you’re thinking about booking, don’t think— just do. Everything is as pictured or even better. Pura Vida!

Outstanding Stay at Hotel Amavi — Matthew & Team Are Amazing! Our stay in Jacó was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, Matthew and his entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Matthew is an exceptional host—friendly, attentive, responsive, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for his guests. The entire team carries that same energy. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating, and they went above and beyond to make our stay special. The hotel itself is beautiful, stylish, comfortable, and has such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The pool and bar area are fantastic, the rooms are thoughtfully designed, and the beach is just a short walk away. The attention to detail throughout the property really makes it stand out. What impressed us most, though, was the hospitality. You can tell Matthew and his team truly care about their guests. They created the kind of experience that makes you feel at home. Thank you !!

We had friends and family all fly out to Costa Rica for our wedding. This was the BEST experience we have ever had out of the country. Matt took such good care of us that he felt like family by the end of our trip. The chef was amazing, the decorations were amazing, the attention to detail and care for us was out of this world! If you ever want to have an event, throw a party, or even just come to a place to relax in Jaco Beach, AMAVI is THE only answer. When we inevitably come back, Amavi will definitely see us again! Pura Vida 🤙🏾

Amavi was the perfect place for our group to spend close to 1 week in the summer. The property is beautiful and is perfect for large groups to have some privacy while also having a large pool and bar area to share. The location is perfect, steps from the beach, a 2 min golf cart ride to the main strip, but secluded and quiet in case you’re looking to take it easy. Matthew the concierge is world class. He ties in the whole experience with his relentless commitment to service, focus on the guests’ experience, and ability to make it the most memorable and effortless vacation you’ve been on. If you’re looking into Jaco, there is no other option to consider besides Amavi!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Amavi. As the founders of Casa Somé, an intimate private dining experience centered around food, music, and meaningful connection, we chose Amavi as the venue for our official launch and it could not have been more perfect. The space itself brought our vision to life. The beautiful design, warm atmosphere, and thoughtful layout created the exact feeling we wanted our guests to experience: intimate, elegant, and unforgettable. Matthew and the entire Amavi team were exceptional. Their hospitality, responsiveness, and genuine excitement for our project made us feel supported every step of the way. The evening was a huge success, with guests leaving as new friends and already asking when they would see each other again. Thank you, Amavi, for helping create a night we will never forget. We look forward to returning very soon. 🖤✨
