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

“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.”
