Looks nice. Needs better curtains . The current curtains are see through and since my unit was a corner unit, people walking by the room could see straight in. To bad of the loud construction next to it but once that is done it should be ok. ##### Catherine Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ramil Dec 29, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities There are no signs with the hotel name. Unless someone points at it you don’t know where it is. I had an argument with some drunk over the parking space. Water barely flowing in the shower. The entire town of Jaco is not neat ##### Ramil Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### KATHRYN Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Location is excellent - better part of the beach (in my opinion), right on the beach, and a short walk from the main strip. This was my second time staying there. It is an older hotel and it's currently going through some changes and renovations. Staff is friendly - no complaints there. However breakfast is no longer a buffet - and takes a long time to arrive. And you now have to wear bracelets like you would at a resort - except it's not a resort and those bracelets are annoying in the water and cause tan lines. We kept taking ours off. Also, one of our rooms had the glass for the shower installed on the wrong side so the water would splash everywhere when you shower - but hoping the renovations will address that. ##### KATHRYN Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ajmal Jun 6, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hot tub and Elevator did not work the entire stay. Hotel staff were rude and everything was overall disappointing. Will not stay ever again. ##### Ajmal Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### hancer Jun 5, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities When we got to the hotel I was looking forward for a nice hot shower, after a long day of traveling, but the shower had no water at all also the bedding and towels smell old and one of the glass window was broken so we heard all the exterior noise, I don recommend this place at all Not for a almos $ 90.00 at night ##### hancer Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack Dec 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel upkeep is questionable. Found things not working and were told but did nothing about it ##### Jack Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laurel Apr 1, 2023 Although you could see it’s former beauty, everything was run down or in disrepair. Constantly running faucets. A toilet you had to open the lid and jiggle the handle to get it to stop running. The glade plug-in in the bathroom to over power the musty smell. The green hot tub. ##### Laurel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Douglas Nov 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Had 1 hot shower in 4 days left a day early.room was damp no dehumidifier Staff could not get the water right.asked to be moved they just kept working on water Do not stay in room 205 ##### Douglas Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Nov 21, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel was a nightmare. Not only did the elevator not work (we were on the 3rd floor) the in house telephone did not work, the wi fi did not work and the toilet seat was broken. Those were the good points. Every morning at 3:30 am 100 feet from our room there was partying, drug abuse and music so loud we could never get back to sleep. (The first morning they were there until 9am) And..Every night our room flooded due to the heavy rains, pouring in from the closed doors and windows. The first night of flooding when we requested help they brought us 2 bath towels, and the 2nd night they refused to give us any help at all. We checked out 3 nights early and now they will not refund our money. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashton Nov 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to rest ##### Ashton Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erick Oct 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Muy buen servicio el personal excelente el desayuno esquicito ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8175a6f5-365a-47e4-b339-e020b5082461-1759859122983.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Erick Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was an amazing hotel with amazing staff. Everything about this place was exceptional! ##### Brad Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brittany Jul 11, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Do not stay here When we checked in we were not given pool or beach towel tickets. Our room’s safe did not work so therefore we had to hide our passports and hope they would not be stolen. There wasn’t a comforter on the bed. We found it the second night tucked away in a different piece of furniture. In suite 6 there was a nasty hole by the jacuzzi tub. The shower head sprayed water straight into the floor so we had to put a towel OVER the shower head to not flood the room when we showered. There was ZERO staff at the check out desk from 6:00-6:30am and we HAD to leave for the airport to catch our flight and so I had to leave a note that we were checking out. I still have no idea if they got that I checked out this AM. There was an huge spider on a reading light above the bed we killed. Overall, if I could give this place zero stars I would. ##### Brittany Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Earl May 12, 2025 This is my 3rd trip to Balcon Del Mar. ( in the middle of a name change to Paradise Jaco Beach). I love that it’s right on the sand. It’s a small resort and by then end of the week you know the staff, they are wonderful. Breakfast every morning included is also nice. ##### Earl Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lodovico May 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location ##### Lodovico Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Villa Caletas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Caletas.h908078.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Trapp Family Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Trapp-Family-Lodge.h4799289.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Osa Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Blue-Osa-Yoga-Retreat-Spa.h11717583.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information)
