"As a Costa Rican who has been visiting Jacó my entire life, I’ve witnessed the town grow busier and more commercial over the years. So discovering Hotel Lia felt like stumbling upon a true oasis amid the hustle and bustle. This beachfront hotel offers something rare in Jacó: a peaceful, safe, and beautifully designed space that feels a bit removed from the chaos, without sacrificing location. The access to the beach is seamless, and the setting itself feels new, fresh, and thoughtfully maintained. Everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas, and the pool area was especially lovely. One of the highlights was the staff, they were warm, helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. At one point, they even set things up so we could enjoy the sunset directly from the sand, which was such a memorable touch. The food at the on-site restaurant was surprisingly good, with fair pricing, and it made staying in that much more enjoyable. Honestly, everything about our stay was pleasant and easy. What makes Hotel Lia even more special is its proximity to San José. It’s only a two-hour drive, making it an ideal weekend escape without the long haul that other beautiful beach destinations in Costa Rica often require. All in all, I only have great things to say about this hotel. It’s a rare find in Jacó, and I highly recommend it to anyone, locals or visitors, looking for a stylish, safe, and peaceful getaway just a short drive from San José."

"Amazing views. Modern, clean and nice hotel. Good location near shops and restaurants and only a short drive from the main beach, with convenient shuttle included. "

"Beautiful resort to spend time with family. Vegetarian dinner options were limited at La Casa restaurant and kind of expensive (nevertheless, you have a lot of restaurants outside at La Fortuna, but everything else in the resort was very nice and awesome! Staff were very friendly, rooms were clean, resort is clean, pools, hot springs were great! Excellent resort!! FIVE STARS! We went in December 2025!"

"Rooms got cold. Good pool. Clean rooms. Great balcony with table. Staff was very friendly. Rented bikes for 6 dollars a day and they worked great. Free breakfast tasted good. "
