“Better than we expected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We had heard from 2 friends that Jaco has good surf, but that the water is muddy quite a ways out due to stream runoff. So I only booked one night here in January 2012 to break up the drive between Tamarindo and Manuel Antonio. We'd have been happier with no nights in Tamarindo, and 3 nights here. The hotel is located right off the main road, but we still managed to see the sign only as we passed it. The hotel, pool area and grounds are lovely, right on the beach. There must not be a stream nearby, because the water was very clear, 85 F, but with just one foot surf (same as Tamarindo for the 3 days prior). The restaurant was very good, but for some reason, mangos weren't as good in this part of the country as elsewhere. We stayed in a hotel room, closer to the main road, and not a villa, but we couldn't hear the traffic from the road. The hotel is on the north end of Jaco Beach, well away from the noise and crowds of town, and we liked it a lot.

“I wouldn't stay anywhere else!”

I traveled to CR with a girlfriend for 12 days. When choosing our accommodations, I kept seeing Hotel Club del Mar, over and over again. The reviews were great, so we took a chance and booked our stay. I truly believe that staying here made all the difference! The staff were outstanding, the rooms and views were incredible and the location is perfect! I especially enjoyed being just outside of the main Jaco area. It was just a quick $4 cab ride to dining, groceries, etc. but really we were happy just to hang at the property. We booked all of our activities thru the hotel as well. They offer a great variety of tours and fitness classes at great prices. We will be back next year for sure!!

“Pete and Bern”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

On our 3rd trip to this area we finally found this great place! CDM offers a great place to lay in the sun near the beautiful pool with the beach and gentle surf at your feet. What great service, food and staff that you will get to know on a first name basis. We stayed in a 1 bedroom with a small living room and a patio. I went fishing with friends that we meet while staying there and landed my first FOUR sailfish! My wife and I also enjoyed just lying around the pool and reading in the quiet atmosphere. I also enjoyed surfing at some challenging breaks at Hermosa Beach (within 5 minutes). We made reservations for two weeks next year before we left and look forward to our return visit.

“Great Jaco Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We spent 8 nights in a condo (unit 9). It was perfect. We booked a 1 bedroom, but they gave us a 2 bedroom unit. It was clean and well maintained and HUGE. We did have a couple of problems with things, but when we called maintenance came quickly and fixed them. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the room.

The grounds are better than most of the Jaco hotetls, with some areas with grass, and many trees to provide shade, including around the pool.

The beach at Del Mar is the best beach in Jaco. While not the best beach in the world, it is very nice, and by the Del Mar there are far fewer stones than the opposite end (near Best Western).

The owner lives at the hotel and is very nice and makes sure the guests are looked after. I would recommend the Del Mar to anyone, but it especially good for families and more mature people. Twenty somethings might prefer to be closer to the center of town so they can hit the bars. Del Mar is more of a quiet hotel.

Room Tip: Condos are further from the hotel and are quieter. We were in room 9, closest to the pool and bar, s...
