The pictures are quite deceiving. The place is run down and the pool had algae all over the edges. the rooms weren't properly cleaned. Staff is nice, but not very customer service oriented. Walked around the pool area and in the back area by the pool bar, junk visibly being stored, floors dirty...definitely will not return. Went to reception a... More

We have stayed at the Canciones del Mar before, however, it appears there has been a change in management since our last visit. But, the iguanas were still there to greet us. They no longer offer a omelet chef, or have the upstairs bar open. The staff was friendly, but the breakfast was not up to previous standards. Upon our... More

i went back to this hotel anticipating that it would be better, not worse! It is still a cute little hotel with a great location and excellent staff. The room I had has a great view of the ocean and you can still go to the rooftop for sunsets, although the jacuzzi there is now empty and most of the... More

We booked canciones del mar from the web and I'm SO HAPPY we did! The place is hidden off Bris Bris street. Though steps away from the hussle and bussle of busy jaco and right on the beach you are still in the middle of it all. We could choose to be lazy and have a quiet dinner while watching... More

My wife and I stayed at Canciones del Mar for three nights the first week of January, 2013. While it is, as others have said, a little run down, we really enjoyed our stay. We checked in fairly late in the evening, around 10pm. Check in was quick and easy and the young man at the desk spoke good English,... More

Canciones del Mar was very nice we stayed in a pool view room and had an apartment setup with 5 girls it worked out great! We enjoyed breakfast every morning and walked right on to the beach right after. We ate most of our meals at the hotel restaurant that was on the top of the hotel and they changed... More

It's a nice place, with refrigerator, kitchen fully equiped, A/C and TV. Over all people are right by saying that it's a little run down, but it's not that bad. Staff is very friendly, the breakfast is included and it's highly recomendable! The hotel is a beach front, just remember that you're staying in Jaco, so do not expect too... More

Canciones Del Mar sits right on the beautiful Jaco Beach. It is a quaint boutique hotel with less than 20 rooms. My room was like a small apartment! So clean, nice decor, kitchen, etc. The pool was fresh water, very minimal chlorine and I jumped in several times a day, meeting lots of very sweet Costa Rican families. The breakfasts... More

After reading travel books, online reviews, and checking out the website I guess I had more expectations for this place. It's not terrible...but it's not great either. I agree with others- the hotel is kind of run down. The pool was probably the best feature - we certainly enjoyed sitting poolside for a bit watching the iguanas being chased around... More
