"Excellent breakfast, great staff"

"Wonderful lodge! Liked it so much we rearranged our itinerary to come back for another night. Super quiet & scenic. Really enjoyed the pool, deck, restaurant, and seeing birds, monkeys and iguanas. Arrived too late for pizza the first night, but stayed to have it for lunch and it truly was delicious. However, learned later that Costa Rica’s ban on feeding wildlife extends to private property and bird feeders, so it would better not to feed the birds at all, or at least farther from the deck so macaws don’t swoop in for human breakfast food.

"This hotel was beautiful and the staff was amazing too!!!"

"Such a cool place. We stayed most of a week, and since there are limited number of rooms, there aren’t many other guests, so it felt like our own little private resort. Our room opened right out to the pool and restaurant. Iguanas were hanging out, a toucan visited us on a tree near the restaurant. We really found a hidden gem. "

"Nice staff, good customer service, clean room, close to the beach, family friendly"

"The staff was extremely helpful with our every need’s. No matter what we needed they came through for us. Arranging transportation, dining, tours, house keeping, you name it this property staff will deliver. I met some really passionate staff here, Alexia afternoon staff at the front desk, Edwin in maintenance, Franklyn tour and transportation coordinator and last but not least Alexandra. Keep up the good work you represented your country and the Oceano brand very well. Thank you "

"Llegue con tiempo, tardan en hacer check in. Si deseas reservar uno de los restaurantes a la carta, debes hacerlo muy temprano y no espere a que te respondan, debes revisar por tus medios. "

"If we had booked through the hotel directly we could have got free breakfast (I think it was $25 each). Also might have got a balcony but the room was fine. At the edge of Jaco so we had a short taxi or Uber ride to get into town - about $4! Although I don't use the casino another guest commented that there was no way to get money! No ATM in the hotel. Nearest is in the center of Jaco. Tried various restaurants. Pool bar was very good - a bit slow but very nice waiters. Pools are lovely though a bit too warm. Very helpful concierge booking and changing tours. Thank you Aura."

"The pictures shown are on purpose misleading, focusing on some fitness model. The facilities felt like they had seen better days and are now decaying, not being maintained properly. The floor of our room seemed like it had rust/was permanently dirty. The room was not so clean, and we found hair in the duvet and pillows. Not just one, but quite some here and there in our bed. The couch had stains and marks. Same for our white towels, they all had stains. For what we paid (around $170 per night), really not worth it. We stayed at 3-star hotels around Costa Rica that were much better, by no means was this a 4.5 star property. The breakfast felt also poor, just a dish to chose from a menu, and not a huge quantity. Everywhere else in Costa Rica they were offering fresh fruits as well in advance, and if we hadn’t asked for juice ourselves, they wouldn’t have offered, in contrast to all other places we have been. Finally it can feel quite noisy on the rooms of lower floor, next to street/restaurant. I was really surprised with all this after all the good reviews I had seen, making me wonder if we were unlucky with the room, or something else was happening."
