Top Playa Balsal Hotel Reviews

Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró

8/10 Good

"Aside from the owners son screaming and yelling all day, by the pool, on one of the days the stay was nice. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful with the one exception. Close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. The hotel had bikes for use as well as umbrellas. We did enjoy our stay overall."

The best condo in Jaco Beach, just got A LOT BETTER!

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely stunning property and the pictures were beautiful but still can’t do justice to how amazing the property and views from it actually were. Great location that is close to everything but also feels away from the busier/noisier areas. Perfect balance. The host and management team were outstanding and they were there to provide anything we needed but we found we didn’t need anything more than what was already there. Would definitely stay again."

Lia Hotel Jaco - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice but missing many basics which is strange given the hotel was recently remodeled. As a couple of examples, there is no shelf in the shower for putting on shampoo or soap bottles, a lack of hooks for hanging up wet towels, and no desk so very hard to do any computer work. A small investment in some of these common sense improvements would make it a great place. Staff were fabulous."

Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Los Suenos Marriott resort! We stayed 8 nights. Our room was very clean and cleaned every day. We dined at all of the restaurants and the food was delicious at all. The brunch was wonderful! We loved the pool and swim up pool bar. The staff at the hotel were all very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back!"

Jaco Walkout Beachfront-90 min SJO-sleep 6-next to Crocs-1st floor

8/10 Good

"Overall the place was Great. We had an event at Crocs Casino and Resort and the location of the room was perfect. Here is the list of Great Things: 1.) The Condo was great size for 6 and even maybe 7 if you let someone sleep on the couch. 2.) The view of the beach from the living room and Master was amazing3.) Host is Awesome, responded promptly and gave us info as needed. Things that need work;1.) The condo has a sign that says keep temp in the condo at 78 degrees because the condenser will freeze at anything underneath that. I dont do well in warm places, cool spaces is important to me. And we didnt push it. 2.) I understand we are on the beach, but the building had an infestation of small red crabs. It was in their hallways, rooms, and parking lot3.) When i read the fine print, it states that you cant have more than 6 in the apt, i am okay with that, but it didnt say you couldnt rotate folks into the condo as long as I didnt have more than 6 people in the condo at a time. Theses people were all registered, but you couldnt make any changes even with ID/Passport numbers.4.) The building Administrator makes it really difficult to enjoy the facility, your not allowed to play music at the pool (even if its low) during the day, even when you are the only one there. The building Administrator also was not welcoming. I couldnt even get my concierge for tours to come in to talk with me or wait with me in the condo while we wait for the tours. "
