Avis SOUTH BEACH PARADISE!!! DIRECT JACO BEACH OCEANFRONT *All Inclusive Options*

The accommodations was fantastic, staff and services meet all of our needs.

House was great for our family. Good staff with housekeeper and security. Rated 4 stars due to non operating dishwasher. We wound up doing dishes most nights as we did not want to leave them overnight for housekeeper next day. Concerned about attracting pests.

The location is fantastic. The property is amazing and beautiful. We were well taken care of by security and housekeeping which are there ALL the time. There was a slight communication issue, but that is on us not speaking Spanish. Google translate works wonders. The room air conditioners truly work. We have been in tropical locations where it never really gets cool (or even cold). Not, here. Outside is hot and humid, but room temperatures are great. The main master bedroom is the size of a small apartment. There is plenty of room in this location. We could not recommend this property more!

Everything was very easy from start to finish. The house easily accommodated 8 adults and 9 kids, aged 20 mos to 14yrs The staff was excellent, especially Marte, the housekeeper, who always smiled . Communication was excellent. Location was perfect. Having 15 horses ride right up to the house from the beach, for an afternoon of riding, was awesome. Travel logistics were amazing and easy. So much to do. This is a lifetime memory made possible by such an outstanding venue.

We enjoyed everything about the property: location on the beach, walkability to restaurants and bars, beautiful grounds, amenities, roominess of the house, kitchen, and pool. It is an ideal property for a relaxing vacation!

Perfect place for our large family with separate suite and large rooms in the main house. In a quiet corner at the end of the beach with easy access to the ocean and other amenities. Helpful staff and security for safety. Would stay again if back in the area. Thanks for having us!

50th anniversary with the whole family. Perfect house, perfect weather, beach front, so many things to do you have to leave some for next time.

Every step of the way the Vrbo app was easy to use and communicate with the property manager. Making payments through the app was simple with a credit card. The staff, Palo, our night security guard a true gentleman. He was respectful of our privacy as well as keeping us all safe while we slept. Marta our house maid is such a sweet lady. Marta does an excellent job of keeping the beach towels fresh, your personal laundry cleaned and dried, rooms made up daily if you want and all the common areas squeaky clean. Tigar is the surf school instructor and works for the property manager. Tigar is great he was our local guide! Having lived in Jaco for the last thirty years he knows everyone any everything about Jaco. If you need or want anything just ask Tigar! My family loved all the staff, including the chefs, so we invited them all to share our meals and adopted them all into our family. If fishing is what you want, captain Roberto and deck hand Alex on the Fish Bones launch on the beach in front of the house an off you go. They put fish in the box!! We had plenty of Bonita and Hamachi sashimi as well as fried and baked red snapper. We hired chef Diego and Melbe to cook our meals and it was amazing!! You tell chef want you want for breakfast lunch and dinner. He and his staff do all the shopping, prep, cook and clean up after each meal. Absolutely worth it!! At the end of each day the chef shows you the grocery receipts and the total for the chef services and you pay in dollars or colenes. Be sure to bring cash with you. The banks and ATMs have very strange rules and limits on what you can withdraw per day. With all that said our family made life long memories and friends while staying in Jaco. We will be back. It really is Pura Vida, the good life!!

Jen and all of the crew were amazing. Mar(housekeeper) and Pablo (security guard) were always there to help with anything we needed! Diego(chef) came to the house and cooked the best meals!!! Fabian(property manager) booked all excursions & transportation. We were spoiled this whole week! I can’t thank Jen and the crew enough! This is a definite MUST book! We were truly spoiled this whole vacation !!

This beautiful property right on the south end of the beach in Jaco is immaculately maintained and provides many excellent features to make your vacation stay unique and enjoyable. The lovely covered patio overlooking the ocean, the sun deck, the pool which although small has a very fun waterfall feature, and the ability to literally walk out of the gate and be on the beach are all fantastic. Our group was made up of my four siblings and spouses (ages 56 to 73) and although we are veterans of VRBO locations across the US, this was our first time internationally. It was also our first time with a housekeeper, security guard, and access to a chef for meals if desired--these were luxuries that were greatly appreciated!! Jen, the property manager we worked with mainly, was fantastic! She helped us with making all of our transportation arrangements, both to and from the airport and for local sightseeing trips, and worked with Chef Diego to plan a first-morning brunch and last-evening dinner which were both incredible. Marta and Pablo, the housekeeper and night guard, were always willing to assist with locating a cab, ordering from a restaurant, suggestions for stores or finding ATM's to replenish our CASH needs for excursions, etc. Some notes for future guests: The surf here makes for a great intro to surfing, but if you are looking for white sandy beaches, this is not it. Unexpectedly made up of volcanic silt, the surface created a muddy mess after each high tide so we never actually went to sit out on the beach. We were surprised by the level of security (gated enclosures, high fences, guards) both at the property and in nearby Jaco--we felt safe but are not used to operating in that kind of environment--perhaps just our novice status in travelling to CR. And finally, as stated in the property description, the kitchen and living room area are not air conditioned, so be prepared for humid, warm conditions outside of your bedrooms (which are cooled.) None of these items kept our time at Joya del Pacifico from being an amazing and memorable time together! Pura Vida!
