What's to Love

Surfers love this Best Western resort. Jaco Beach surfin' is gnarly! With one surf haven in front of the hotel and a competition-level beach less than two miles, wave-shredders are in heaven.

 

What We'd Change

Strong riptides off Jaco Beach make it dangerous for swimming. But the waves are why you're here, and those same currents draw surfers from around the world.

 

Why You Should Go

The resort is ideally located on Jaco's main street--a two-hour straight shot to the beach from Costa Rica's inland capital, San Jos?. It's also close to great adventures like crocodile safaris and zip-line tours.

Hotel Description

Hit the Waves at Best Western Jaco Beach Resort

Surf's up! The waves are big and breaking just right off Jaco Beach. Whether you're hoping to catch waves or make some waves in the nearby nightclubs, Best Western Jaco Beach Resort is the ideal vacation choice. Located in the hip little town of Jaco, this resort is ideally situated right on the beach, only two hours from San Jos?, Costa Rica's inland capital.

With the wildest party beach at your doorstep, the action is always close. But don't be satisfied with one surf beach! Just to the south is Playa Hermosa, host to an annual surf competition that draws surfers from around the world. Four miles north of Jaco is Playa Herradura, quickly gaining a reputation for great surf.

After surfin' all day, you're sure to have a gnarly appetite, so load up on carbs with pomodoro spaghetti at El Puerto, the hotel restaurant. The Creole tomato sauce loaded with garlic and cheese is irresistible. If nothing but meat will do, try the tenderloin steak smothered in pepper sauce.

A tour desk in the lobby can help you plan activities, from horseback riding to sport fishing. The price of each room includes a complimentary breakfast, but the wonderful aroma and rich taste of free Costa Rican coffee brewing in your room will get you going before you reach the restaurant. Even better? Parents love that children 12 or under stay free with a paying adult!

When you're ready to check out Jaco, why not hit the open road by bike? The resort provides guests two free hours of use for its bicycles per guest per day. When you're ready for someone else to do the driving, a crocodile safari to nearby T?rcoles River is an excursion you're sure to remember the rest of your life. One of the largest wild populations of crocodiles, some as long as 15ft, live in this river. If you're lucky, you may also see a scarlet macaw, an extremely rare tropical bird with gorgeous plumage.

As well as serving the two major Costa Rican airports (Juan Santamaria International Airport in the city of San Jose and Daniel Oduber International Airport in the city of Liberia), they also offer flexible and convenient pick-up/drop-off locations throughout the country (some fees may apply).
