Just spent an excellent weekend in Playa Jaco and was fortunate enough to have stayed at Club Del Sol. The manager's and staff were warm, friendly and above and beyond helpfull. The condo was clean, quiet and safe. A short walk down to the beach and you're standing in paradise. A $3 dollar cab ride (1,500-col) and you're on the Jaco strip and especially Los Amigo's restaurant! A 30-minute cab ride and you're kayaking, hiking or fishing. The resort La Suena's is 20-minutes away and extremely expensive when the Del Sol is just as beautiful and classy but feel's like home. In my opinion it has that Pura Vida positive vibe! Just across the street is a small bodega (limited selection but the eggs and fruit are fresh!) and Carton's Surf Shop, a great guy and always has a smile for anybody just dropping by. Since Miguel and the security staff are so nice and attentive, bring your laptop because cell phones (even iPhones) run a little slow. Plus there is a safe in the master bedroom that will fit a 15" laptop. A 17" laptop may be pushing it. If you want to watch DVD's you'll need to bring your own. There are no Redbox's in Jaco but I was having so much fun I didn't miss it. Having a washer / dryer in the condo is great and the pool is awesome! If you're quiet a late night chill is all good. Last but not least, staying off the strip side of Playa Jaco is a wise choice if you want a retreat for rest and relaxation. Playa Jaco is an awesome beach town and the party goes way into the night. Being less than 5-minutes away by cab to south Jaco will give you that waking up in paradise with fresh fruit, the best coffee and break away from the world feeling you may be looking for. I would suggest Club Del Sol to anyone and will be returning two to three times a year. Playa Jaco and the people there are genuinely friendly, laid back and I never felt uneasy the entire time I was there. Club Del Sol only made that feeling stronger! It's an affordable trip of a lifetime! Book it early, because a place this great is hard to find. Will be back to Paradise in February, surf's up!

I spent Friday to Monday here.
Pros: Price and building. $120 for 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, laundry, patio and everything nicely decorated. While everything was clean, some of the furniture was a bit run down.

Cons: 1) Far enough from the town center that we need to taxi to and fro at $4 a trip to get to shops, restaurants and bus station. 2) Management: when we first checked in, the young man took our credit card and gave us our keys. That was it, no welcome, no offers of help, not even pointing us in the right direction to get to our rooms. 3) The henhouses immediately next door - we had #3 and outside our back window was a path and a fence and a property which had henhouses and at least 2 roosters. Every 40 seconds at least one of them crowed, starting at 5:30 am! Also the hotel is adjacent to the main roadway traveling down the pacific coast, so we heard every semi and dilapidated truck struggling up the hill or braking down the hill. I am not sure whether the other units would have suffered from these noises based on their location but at least half of them would share either our roosters or our highway noise since we all circled the central pool.

When we arrived, I thought it was odd that we had only one bathroom. Since there was only two of us, I was not concerned but there were only 2 bath towels, 2 beach towels and a bath mat. Not really enough for 2 women. But there was a locked door in the master bedroom which I thought could have been a master bath but since it was locked, I assumed it was the condo owner's storage area. Day 2 and now we are down to one towel to share and the door is still locked. Day 3 and we have no towels at all so while my daughter is taking her shower, I walk over to the office and ask for more towels and get an argument! Same young man tells me that it is impossible for me to have no towels! I then asked him where they could be hidden since they are obviously not in the bathroom. He stomps over to the laundry/storage room next door to ungraciously give me more towels but there aren't any clean towels there either. So he tells me to go back to my room and he will send housekeeping over. She arrives shortly and walks past me to the master bedroom opens the door that has been locked for two days and shows me two towels in the master bath. It was nice to have a master bath one night but we still only had two towels and by the way, they are very thin and worn towels.

Last bright note: the security/valet that was usually in the parking lot was a doll. A tall gentlemen with little English in his 40-50's. He always called our taxi, gave me his folding chair or umbrella, gave us directions or warned us non-verbally of unsafe walks or activities and most especially gave a us a warm welcoming smile. I wish I knew his name - he could teach management about customer service.

Loved this place. We randomly chose it using the Expedia app for our iPhone. Stayed here two nights while visiting and looking at property in Jaco. The condo was beautiful and huge. The reception and staff were super friendly and helpful. The room had laundry machine/.dryer in it which was awesome, since we could do some of our laundry that needed to be washed. Location was perfect. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Jaco, but only about 3 minutes away. Room was quiet and clean and there was room for us to have others in the room too if necessary. Would def stay here again and highly recommend.

My family and I just got home from nearly three weeks at Club del Sol in Jaco, Costa Rica. It was a great base for us to explore the various sights and attractions of the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. The condo was spacious. The master bedroom had a king sized bed and ample closet space. It also had its own spacious full bathroom. The second bedroom had two twin sized beds, which were great for our kids who are 8 and 5. The condo also had a full washer and dryer, which came in really handy for us. The pool and the grounds are immaculate. Julietta and the staff are warm, welcoming and very helpful with arranging to see sights, tours, etc. Club del Sol is located on the south/quiet end of Jaco, away from the craziness of the main drag through town. The beach is just a block away. Our kids loved boogie boarding at the beach. Manuel Antonio is just an hour and a half away. Club del Sol has its own 24 hour security guard to keep things safe. We loved our weeks of "Pura Vida" - pure living at Club del Sol. We will definitely go back!
