Stayed here for 3 nights as part of a tour. Looked nice on the website and on arival. Room in block 6. Once white towells were grey and stained. One of the bed sheets had a large stain on it. No matress covers. Drawer fell out (only 1 support).The shower had very low water presure and ran hot and cold. The manager was rude and didn't seem to be worried when complaint made. We were locked out of the room on the last day with no towells supplied when we got in. The sink waste was broken and leaked water all over shower room and bedroom. Took the tour manager and myself to shake up the staff to get it sorted.
No appologies made. Would never stay there again.

The hotel is about 3 blocks from the beach, they offer an all inclusive option, wich I didn't take, the breakfast is very good, the rooms are cozy, the swiming pool is very nice and the restaurant is very good.

MAY June 2006, I spent 6 weeks in Costa Rica between the city of San Jose and Jaco (Pacific coast), lodging at eight different hotels. Jaco was beautiful and was the best place I stayed and Hotel Amapola was amazing, the food was great, the rooms were comfortable, with AC, TV, Internet in the lobby, and the walk to town was close. The buffet food was excellent and prepared and served very well. While staying at Hotel Amapola, I learned that a TIME SHARE program was being offered. The price was right and I became a first time Timeshare holder, because I plan to return next year, and stay again at the hotel and to allow friends and family an opportunity to stay in Jaco too. I most definitely recommend this hotel to others.

We spent two nights at the Amapola Comfort as part of our Caravan Tour in January 2007. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and, from the exterior, the buildings look great. Unfortunately, the interior of the rooms left a lot to be desired. In our bathroom, the paint on 3 walls was peeling heavily, not just minor damage. The fixtures were very old & in poor condition. Many others in our group had similar experiences: peeling paint, shower doors hard to use (in one case the door fell off), no space to put your belongings in the bathroom, drawers in bureau didn't open. The worst was that in one room the airconditioner exploded, showering all of the guest's belongings with dirty water. The water then leaked through the ceiling into another room.

Of the 4 hotels used by Carvan during our tour, this one had the worst food. Also, the only bar on the grounds (at the pool) closes at 6:00 p.m. and you cannot get a drink until the restaurant opens at 7:00 p.m. unless you go to the casino which is not part of the "all inclusive". Many in our group complained about this.

As noted by others, Jaco is a pretty tacky town overall & this hotel is not in a great area. We do recommend the sunset, it is spectacular. If you are concerned about walking back after dark, go with a group.
