Every time I saw the staff they asked if everything was OK and ensured everything was perfect at all times. You cannot beat the location we could hear the ocean and away from the city noise of Jaco. Yet the location was close enough to Jaco and all of the attractions which made it perfect. ##### JEREMY Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie Oct 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We absolutely loved our stay here. The room, swimming pool and grounds were clean and well maintained. The front desk employees were fantastic and went above and beyond to provide any assistance needed. They offered up dining recommendations and helped book tours. The location is walking distance to multiple good restaurants and you can walk the beach to get to some of them. The beach was a short distance from the rooms. The town of Jaco and supermarkets to buy groceries were a short drive. Two things we would have appreciated; less ants outside and inside and a microwave. Aside from that we had a wonderful stay!!! ##### Stephanie Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrin Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel was clean and secure. The staff was super helpful navigating the language barrier and country. Chelsea and the other staff at the front desk made you feel welcome. The black sand beach is just a few steps from the hotel. The pool and grounds are clean and personal. I think all the rooms have an ocean view and balcony. The only thing I would say could help perfect the stay is a coffee maker( there is an expresso machine). The hotel is also close to major road. Our personal experience was amazing and we will be back. ##### Katrin Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecily Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed at Backyard Hotel for a week. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was perfect for a beach stay. The room are a little dated. Not all of the lights worked. The hairdryer didn’t work. When staff was notified, it was fixed immediately. Very nice, large balconies, with beach view. Very quiet and remote, away from the hustle and bustle of Jaco. Grounds were well manicured. The pool was clean and refreshing. Back gate opens right up to the beach. There are 8 rooms and 8 parking spots. We rented a car from Alamo and always had a spot. They arranged hotel shuttle to and from airport for us, at $130 each way. Fridge was stocked with snacks and drinks and cleaning service did a great job daily. We would certainly stay here again. ##### Cecily Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location was amazing!! Right on the beach. Walking distance to excellent dining! ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mauricio Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is simple, it is clean and it is accesible. It is a pretty place and a nice beach for surfing. It is not one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches, but to see friends and spend some time close to the city, this place is very nice. ##### Mauricio Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeremiah Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities Small parking lot with a gate, kind of a pain. Right off main highway noisy. Positive is it’s right on Playa Hermosa so good place for solid waves to share with locals and gringo boomers who are glad to tell you how long they’ve been coming down there ;) ##### Jeremiah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### ANDREA Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A small desk was missing if you need to work remotely. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4b18724a-fefb-4dfe-a809-cdcfb854bb1d-1754906931451.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ANDREA Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justen Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Can’t say enough good words about this place. Right on the ocean, great break right out in the back yard. Walkable to several restaurants down the beach. Will absolutely be coming back. ##### Justen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joseph Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were great, perfect for a couple days at the beach. Two-three restaurants and a minisuper in walking distance. ##### Joseph Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
