Additionally, proximity to the Refugio de Vida Silvestre National Park offers guests stunning ocean views and wildlife experiences.

Oceanfront rooms allow guests to enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean from their balconies. Each master suite comes with a king-size bed, two twin beds in bunk style, and private bedrooms, providing spacious options for various group sizes.

“This small beachfront property sits slightly removed from Jaco's bustling center. The relaxed atmosphere and direct beach access create a strong sense of place. For travelers seeking a quieter, more intimate experience outside the main tourist zone, it presents a compelling option.”
