If you are expecting an American beachy hotel you can forget it. This is Costa Rica and although the rooms are small, it was very safe and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much. The pool was the cleanest pool around and the grocery store is a five minute walk. Don't expect huge rooms with HDTVs. This is South America,... More

We stayed there for 3 nights in March 2012. The place was OK. The area looks a little odd but good overall location not too far from the main street/beach (a few minutes walk). The room was OK but air conditioner was very noisy. Bedding was also very old school. This place is certainly innovative when it comes to energy... More

Stayed here for one night after the Super Bowl. Very clean and efficient. Not recommended for a Honeymoon but a great new and modern place for travelers on a budget.

This motel is in a depressed area. The beds are uncomfortable, just mattress in wood box frame. Room service only upon request. Noisy air conditioner and much street noise.Deposit needed for towels. Innovative in energy conservation. Clean pool and deck area. Friendly and informative motel manager.

Very noisy aircon Rusty old fridge Bedding looked new but was so cheap I woke up with burns on my skin - like cardboard! No breakfast Manky old curtains with holes Sign in bathroom saying don't put toilet roll in toilet - yuk! In keeping with Jaco, which is well worth avoiding IMO.

It is not our fault the guests were not happy with Jaco at all. One must always keep in mind that this is Central America and it is still a developing country. If you are expecting North American standards you will be greatly disappointed. Some people dislike Jaco like this guest others move here…. There are no sewage treatment facilities... More

First of all I got this hotel for a value of 150 dollars a night but the actual price online was a lot lower. This went for a 3 star hotel while I could hardly call this a 1.5 star. The quality of this place is no shy of being a higher end hostel. The rooms were exteremely dark and... More

This fellow claims $150 night value???? Our rates are $49 to $69 depending on the month and we even have lower mid week lower rates. Totally false information. If he paid $150 it was sure not to us! All our rooms have flat white ceilings, light beige walls and floor tiles. He says the rooms are dark???? Did this guy... More

We book a night a blue palm hotel and that was enough. The room are very small, may be there is bigger room but the one we had was tinny. Also, there is a pool but the sidewalk around it it not large enough. As other say all electricity on the room is tied to a motion sensor so after... More

Please do not expect anything like North American Standards here in Costa Rica, you will be greatly disappointed. The sizes of the rooms are visible on the website in detail. We also manage and rent condominiums here in Jaco. Beachfront included. If you want something larger or situated on the beach we can accommodate that, not for the same price... More

The Blue Palms hotel is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting Jaco. The rooms are clean, have 24 hour service, and also include towels, soap, shampoo, and hot water. This cannot be said for other hotels in the region. There is also a beautiful swimming pool that families can enjoy. Speaking of families, the upper half of the... More

There are a lot of good reviews on here, so maybe it was just a single bad experience from an otherwise good hotel, but there are several things one should consider before staying at Blue Palm. We reserved three beds via email, but were given a room with only two. They had no other rooms, so one of us had... More

Please do not expect anything like North American Standards here in Costa Rica, you will be greatly disappointed. If not happy these fellows could have left without charge, we have no problem with that. We were full and had no space available to change rooms on the first night. Three people and three beds are different booking types and there... More
