Best Western All Inclusive Resort • Jacó

This is a great place to stay at Jaco Beach! It is located Central Pacific at 2.5 hours from SJO Airport or San José Downtown at Garabito, Puntarenas. Recommend to take route 27 and then route 34. You can stop at the Tárcoles river bridge for watching big crocodiles and arrive a few minutes later to the hotel. This is All Inclusive hotel with 2 different pools, a restaurant, 2 snack bars and a disco. Many activities to enjoy with your family, like the foam party, beach volleyball and sightseeing at sunset.

Hotel very nicely decorated and organized. Every employee we encountered from the front desk that checked us in to the bartenders and maid service were very courteous and helpful. Special shout out to Francisco and Eddy at the pool bar who made sure our drinks keep flowing. The food was tasty and in line with a cruise ship buffet. The grounds were clean and kept up. Overall we were happy with our stay. As others mentioned the music was a little loud at night and the beds were stiff.

Rooms are basic but very clean. The resort is accessible in terms of size and the people are second to none. We love it here!! We will come back with our family. Drinks are great. Food is amazing. The location is perfect for lots of excursions. Downtown Jaco and souvenirs are easy to get to and hang out. It’s an affordable alll-inclusive vacation. Just love this place.

Dec 3-8, 2025, I stayed at this hotel with family. I rented three rooms and had to add another guest at the last minute (not another room). The hotel manager saw this as an opportunity to charge over $1,300 to add this additional guest. The room was already booked, so to have someone else in the room means I need to pay somebody's holiday bonus. I discussed this with Travelocity, and they sent a message on my behalf, twice, and the result was let's take advantage of the guest. Had I known, I would have went to another friendlier hotel. Definitely will not even consider this hotel for future trips.

We did a week here. Food was great, to be honest, the all you can drink option was very fruity drinks with not much alcohol content. Each night dinner had a theme. Breakfast had an abundance of fresh fruits. Later in day, there was a snack bar which was great for munchies with the open bar. The staff was superb. Although overall thus will be my only visit to Costa Rica I can honestly recommend this place.

Location was the best part of stay. Rooms were old need of some updating. Buffet was kind of low end food. Was of and was enough to fill you up. But not something to look forward to. Snack bar was decent for a grab and go.

Booked a trip/stay at this hotel in late May through early June. The location was great, directly to the beach. The hospitality was top notch. We have been discussing and planning a move to Costa Rica, and have another planned stay here in March.

When you visit Costa Rica, you quickly learn that being one with nature—including the bugs—is part of the experience. On our first night, we saw a small cockroach in the room, but with the visible gap under the door, it’s not surprising that a few critters might sneak in. That said, the hotel itself was very clean overall, even if the rooms felt a bit dated and could definitely use an update. The beds were a bit on the stiff side, but still fine for a few nights. What really stood out was the friendliness of the staff—every single person we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. The buffet was standard fare, nothing too adventurous, but they did a nice job of mixing things up with themed nights, which helped keep the meals from feeling repetitive. The resort itself is pretty low-key in terms of activities. Outside of swimming, sunbathing, and eating, there’s not much else happening on-site. Still, the pools were clean, comfortable, and there was plenty of room to lounge in the sun. Being right on the beach made it easy to go for walks and enjoy the ocean views. If you’re staying in Jacó and looking for an all-inclusive experience, this is one of the only options—and it does deliver a good family vacation. Just keep in mind: I’d recommend booking your own excursions instead of going through the resort. The tour companies they partner with tend to mark up prices a bit, and you won’t save much by bundling. All in all, our family had a great time. With a few updates, this resort could be even better—but it offers a solid stay in a beautiful location. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like a shorter or more casual version too!
