Reviewed By biker03We stayed at this location for 6 days and recommend it to anyone planning a trip here. All of the staff were outstanding, the on site restaurant, pool, and bar were very convenient also. The beach was steps away from the room and had easy access to town.

The Kind of Place That Lingers in Your Mind Long After You Leave!
Reviewed By dyob2021I had stayed at Villa Caletas many years ago and had dreamed of returning. When I finally did return in May 2022, I am pleased to say it was every bit as beautiful, welcoming and peaceful as I remembered it to be. The staff is the best Costa Rica has, catering to every need with that very special graciousness of the Costa Rican people. The hotel itself is magnificent! Every Villa is unique and luxurious. Artwork everywhere! The restaurant food was delicious! The spa was amazing ~ how could you go wrong with a massage accompanied by gentle rain falling and tropical birds singing. The trip down to the beach was so much fun riding in the back of the truck. Even the gift shop had great and one-of-a-kind treasures. Thank you to everyone at Villa Caletas who helped make my stay a truly memorable journey! I would HIGHLY recommend a stay!!

Family Stay
Reviewed By dfostertolDidnt know what to expect but was happy. Our rooms were very comfortable (got a 2bdrm) and overlooked the pool. My only complaint was the gym. You must make a reservation and they only allow one person at a time. Breakfast was great as well. Close to downtown

We loved the resident pet cats and dogs (especially Romeo the cat!)
Reviewed By JasonD4121We had a short but sweet 1 night stay. Friendly staff, friendly dogs and cats...especially a juvenile cat named Romeo whom my daughter absolutely adored. Even if DoceLunas didn't have delicious food, a spacious, clean, comfortable room with ice-cold AC, friendly and helpful staff, free bicycles to borrow, or the beautifully landscaped grounds and resident capuchin monkeys....even if it didn't have all of that, it would have been worth it to stay there just to pet Romeo the cat.

Nice place but needs to tweak a few things
Reviewed By katemahealaniComfortable bed, nice atmosphere and friendly staff! My only complaints were that they did not have extra pillows and the shower did not get very hot. Also, the breakfast is VERY simple:m; just some toasts, hard boiled egg and fruits. I did not like the coffee or juice.

Reviewed By Alina AWe booked this hotel after calling them to explicitly ask whether the hotel is on / near to the beach. We only made the reservations after we called the hotel and one of the hotel personnel confirmed that the hotel is 2-3 min walking from the beach….so imagine the disappointment when we got there and realized that the hotel is in a very remote location, 10-15 min driving from the nearest beach / restaurant. You would need a car / taxi to go around, as the road from the main street to the hotel is dark at night. When we asked them why they told us that the hotel is on the beach, the response was only a shrug; no apologies, no attempts to figure out who is responsible…….customer service completely absent. Overall, it seemed that the staff was indifferent; they would accommodate some requests, but it was clear that they preferred spending time on their phone or talking with other staff. I see the owner responding to these reviews on Trip Advisor…..I wonder why wasn’t she on site welcoming and entertaining the hotel guests? This time should have been used on fixing the rooms and premises and training her staff. One funny thing, there was a welcoming card in the room, however the names were wrong! Our experience at the hotel was not great. The property is small, there is only a small pool and the rest is rain forest jungle, with nothing to see and do on the premises. We got a room on the second floor. The room was large and clean, although the furniture was outdated and the tile in the bathroom chipped. The bathroom had a bad smell; not sure if it was mold or not; we kept the window open, but the smell was persistent. There was no or very limited sound proof; there was a door between us and the adjacent room, and we could hear our neighbours talking. One night we had to ask the reception to call them to turn down the TV, it was extremely loud. The balcony had a sitting area and an outdoor kitchenette; however, the cabinets were falling apart, and appliances were rusty. We enjoyed the sitting area in the morning while drinking our coffee. There was a small espresso machine and only 2 coffee pods provided. The cleaning person would not replace the consumables (such as coffee, tea, shampoo, or conditioner), we had to go to the front desk and explicitly ask for few tea bags and more coffee pods. The breakfast was simple, not many options, but the food was tasty - we had eggs every morning, fresh fruit and fresh fruit juice. There is no restaurant for lunch or dinner, hotel guests can order from 2 restaurants in the area - menu provided by the reception; however the options are very limited and overpriced. We only spent 3 out of the 4 days booked; we decided to leave earlier, even though we were not able to get the refund from Bookings for the unused night. Our recommendation: avoid this hotel, you don’t’ need this type of headaches while on vacation! There are many nice people and places in Costa Rica that will give you wonderful memories!

Wonderful hotel
Reviewed By 686JamesH686My wife and I stayed here for only one night as we were heading off to Santa Teresa the next day and the bus stop was nearby. The hotel is wonderful, we stayed in a suite and it was large, clean and comfy. The grounds of the hotel were also nice, but we did not explore the hotel much due to our limited stay. The location was also good for exploring Jaco. The staff were amazing. I accidentally left my phone in a taxi and the night porter, unfortunately I did not get his name, immediately called the taxi firm and the taxi returned within a minute and I had my phone back. ¡Muchas gracias! All in all I would recommend this hotel for anyone thinking about staying in Jaco.
10. Room2Board Hostel and Surf School
Overall Ratings
5 based on 783 reviews
Room2Board is a newly built boutique hostel and surf school located on the Central Pacific Coast in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica. Its eco-friendly design provides adventure travelers, surfers, and backpackers a clean, safe and affordable place to stay. Room2Board was designed to have the social atmosphere and affordability of a traditional hostel and surf camp along with the amenities and style of a boutique hotel. From the moment you check-in you will feel apart of our global family. Please note we have a 2 day minimum on the weekends and a 2 day minimum over Semana Santa, March 27- April 5th and Christmas.
Beachfront hostel with all the amenities
Reviewed By KathleenH25Room2Board is a class act beachfront hostel that has claimed its own spot in Jaco. Away from the business of the main strip, Room2Board offers comfortable shared or private rooms with a view in front of a pumping surf break. The bathrooms include showers; additionally, there are common cooking areas, outdoor showers, a beautiful pool, restaurant and bar. For remote workers the co-working space is bar-none. You can stash your stuff in a locker to keep it safe, rent a board from the surf shop if you need one, take a lesson, book a tour, you name it. The prices are competitive and a real deal for what you get. If you are a budget traveler, stay in a shared room for under $20. If price isn't an object, stay more luxuriously in a private room. The owner Brian takes pride in his masterpiece accommodation and his friendly staff hails from all over the world. You will be content to just hang in the bar/restaurant area all day long or relaxing in the state of the art pool. Hands down one of the best places to stay in Jaco. As an experienced hosteler, I can confidently say that Room2Board's value can not be beat.
