Balcon Del Mar (Ocean Balcony)

User Rating: "Be Weary 5/10"

Jaco Costa Rica's most affordable beach hotel that provides the comforts you're looking for while keeping your budget in mind. This hotel is going through renonvations at this time (April, 2007) so make sure you ask for a finished room. This hotel is not for those of you that want something of the same quality that you would find in the United States. See comments below...

On the beach with plenty of sun and a nice ocean breeze just makes this a fine place to stay while visiting Jaco. Multiple pools including a jacuzzi make sure that you will have all the fresh water you need to stay cool during the warm days. Many of the rooms have small balconies which are great for relaxing with a tropical drink while enjoying a view of the beach.

Comfortable open air restaurant which is one of the true pleasures of Costa Rica. The fine weather allows you to truely enjoy the environement even while dining.

 

Here is a view of the Pacific ocean from one of the room balconies. To the right very nice restroom with whirlpool bath. Not all rooms are the same and there are many rates to choose from.

 

They have many different types of rooms to choose from and here are some examples.

As you can see from this map below the hotel is located on the beach just off from the center of town. This allows easy access to everything Jaco has to offer.
