I stayed here with 3 friends for a week and had a great time. Don Jon's has a great location, and getting to the beach was easy. Jon knows the area very well and gave great advice on places to eat dinner, excursions, and night life. There are several really good restaurants within walking distance. The food at Don Jon's...

Since I booked I received excellent service and complete information, and when I arrived it went so much better, all the staff in Don John's was very kind with me and made me feel like in home, most that it was my first time traveling alone. Don John's has an excellent vibe and the people that were staying there was... More

Amazing food; tacos, burritos, guacamole, trust me, I know good food. Service is with a smile, and the food is amazingly fresh; very important. The menu, is simple, but nothing is compromised for freshness, seasonality, or availability. You want the best fish tacos / burritos in town? You got it here guys. More

Stayed up the street but ate breakfast burritos at Don Jon's almost everyday that week. They are packed and amazing. Also great costa rican coffee. For two burritos, two coffees and two bottles of water spent about $20 USD with tip. Jon is very nice too. Took the time to show us the cabins and rooms if we were ever... More

Do not come here if you are looking for all the comforts of your American home and vacation spa resort. This is not the place for you. A very charming and inviting establishment. I felt safe with the night security and Jon makes you feel like an old friend. The breakfast burritos were delicious, and yes, better than a neighbors... More
