“Safe but not quiet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We looked at numerous hotels in Jaco and found most to be very sleazy. The area has a certain amount of prostitution so be aware. We felt safest at The Best Western. The room we had though was very outdated. The key card stopped working numerous times, and had to be repaired. The property has all basic amenities. Be careful the floor is slippery and is wet most of the time with families and kids wet from the pool. Be aware on the weekend, the property is full of people from San Jose for the weekend who want to party, so there is loud music and a MC shouting into a microphone until 11.30 at night. The next morning it started at 9 or 9:30 so dont stay here if you want peace and quiet. The breakast buffet is nice, but once the MC starts yelling on the mic, it ruins any peace and quiet so have breakfast early if you want to have any peace. Overall, it was better than most hotels in Jaco but was not a peaceful place to stay, it is party central on the weekends.

Bueno! Everytime we go here we have a great time. Pool is fun, beach and the drinks are the best.

Stayed at Best Western Jaco Beach for a couple of days. The hotel disapointed us in a lot of ways. Rooms smells like mold, I get allergies so we had to request another room because not only the smell but because fresh paint on top of the mold I guess. We had problems with the MANAGER JESSOE UMANA, they charged us more, we asked the manager to review the total amount charge to my credit card, she was not cooperating at all, very unprofessional manager. No satisfied at all with her service. Food is not worth the price. We paid $123 for the night, I think for that prie there are much better places to stay in Jaco Beach. THIS HOTEL NEEDS A COMPLETE UPGRADE.

“Decent budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Stayed at Best Western Jaco Beach for a week during Christmas, just before the real high seaso started. The hotel doesn't disappoint in any way, the room was clean, breakfast good, close to the beach, good beach bar with food serving. Dinner is not worth the price. No luxury resort, but great value at the price.
