Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró

10/10 Excellent
"The Oceano is located right in the middle, so it is walking distance to anywhere in jaco. The staff is more than helpful, the breakfast every morning is amazing because it is locally prepared. Parking is easy and has security 24/7. The rooms are clean and spacious with the best beds in business. I've been staying there since 2019 while at the beach."

"El hotel está aceptable, sin embargo, el funcionamiento es algo restringido y además hacen competencia desleal porque nos dijeron que si se reserva directamente con ellos hay otros beneficios que si se hace la reserva con otras plataformas y eso no me parece justo para el huésped porque igual se está pagando por un servicio"

Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Costa Rica, Autograph Collection®

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is very beautiful, but something to keep in mind. The food and beverages from the restaurant are very over priced. Just as an example a glass of Prosecco was roughly 22-25$ (USD) which is enough to just go out in town and buy your own bottle. Also, the breakfast for just my wife and I (buffet breakfast) cost us roughly $70 USD. The breakfast selection was basic and not impressive at all. We basically wondered what we paid 70 dollars for when we saw our choices. The property is beautiful and the service was amazing! Please keep in mind it is in the jungle so you will hear jungle noises at night. Which is to be expected and honestly I thought it was pretty neat."
