Paradise Jaco Beach Front

ground floor flat for direct access to the pool is amazing. pool was shallow for kids to enjoy. restaurant food was gorgeous. beach over the road. walking distance to loads of shops.

Overall, I liked the Balcon del Mar. In my opinion, some prior reviews gave the hotel a bad rap. The rooms were clean, the pools were clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. Note: Balcon del Mar is for families with kids. It's not for single guys who go to Jaco for the nightlife. The hotel's posted policy prohibits female visitors not listed as hotel guests on the room registration form during check-in. (No problem for female guests present during check-in who signed the room registration form.)

The front desk staff were very helpful. They booked us tours and helped booked the local bus back to San Jose. Rooms were very clean and spacious. The food at the restaurant was fabulous along with the wait staff. Excellent location too!

Room was exceptionally clean, staff was very polite, food was outstanding and plentiful! Mattress was very firm but not uncomfortable, location was beach front! Awesome view! Pool was very nice. Location was within walking distance to everything you need!

The location was right across the street from the beach. The hotel provides guest only beach lounge chairs and umbrellas. There was a person that worked at the hotel near the entrance most of the time, keeping an eye on the parking area and guest needs. Everyone in my group was provided a wrist band for use of beach chairs, pool and for breakfast. Internet worked well to do online COVID testing before returning home. Staff was great. Breakfast area is very nice and breakfast was good. Close walk to shops and restaurants. Noon checkout was good to give us extra beach time in the morning. Note, if you surf, the surf is more advanced level in front of hotel. You can rent surf boards or sign up for a lesson right in front of the hotel on the beach.
