Pros

High-speed fiber optic network offering 100+ MB internet speeds

Pet-friendly policy accepts animals under 15 kilos

Free parking with 24-hour security

Multiple room categories accommodate groups up to 6 people

On-site gift shop selling beach essentials and souvenirs

Cons

Located 4 blocks from the main strip

63-kilometer distance from the nearest major airport

“I see a property that tries to balance leisure and business needs, with features like a casino alongside coworking spaces-a curious mix. While family-friendly in many ways, I would want to see a commitment to addressing maintenance issues and service gaps to truly recommend it. The location is convenient for exploring Jaco, but the basics need consistent attention.”
