Wonderful hotel! We were on a family trip with two adults and two children. We had a room with two double beds, but prior to our arrival they had set up an extra single bed for our son so he didn't have to share with his sister. I cannot say enough good things about the owner-he went out of his... More

This is a little hotel in Jaco, Costa Rica. The price was OK - the location was good - they had secure parking on a locked lot and we left the car there and explored the town on foot. Close to food, beach and shops. The room was small but had a complete kitchen - it would have been great... More

We stay here every time when we go to Jaco beach. Mar de Luz is situated in a quiet area in this town. It is just a 5 minutes walk to the beach and 10 minutes by feet to the center. The service is excellent and the rooms are comfortable with a small kitchen and an eatingtable. The breakfast is... More

We stayed in Jaco 2 nights before continuing on our trip to Manuel Antonio. We had 12 people (3 families) with kids aging from 8-15. After spending a couple of days at Mar de Luz we decided we DEFINITELY found the right spot! The rooms were clean and with two double beds still felt large enough. Each room had a... More

This hotel is great, perfect if you are looking for something quite and peaceful. It's a family owned hotel and the owner Victor makes sure you're welcomed everyday. Although it states no pets allowed you are allowed to have a pet but they only have one room for it. So make sure you call ahead a time and book room... More

Was in Jaco in December and needed to move out of a hostel right away and found this little gem. Shared the cost of a room with a friend. We were both pleased with the quality of service and amount of... More

Nice hotel to stay in with children. The rooms have a little patio area with chairs and a table right outside. The pools were clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a few options and was good. Very close to shops,restaurants and beach. A great value for the price.

This guy below to whom you answered Victor should stay home !!!!! I've been to the Mar de Luz many times. And everytime was perfect. Well maybe a few ants at one time in my room but really, that's nothing. The rooms are great. Coffee machine, blender, refrigerator ... Pool is always clean and staff, I have nothing to say... More

Just returned from another great stay. We stayed there last year and were treated so good that we had to go back again this year. When I called to make our reservations they not only remembered us but remembered the room we had and gave us the same one.....it was like coming home. The staff is great and the owner,... More
