I have been here for over 3 weeks. Nature and the beaches are fantastic. However, this is not a place for kids. Overall the place is shady. The other evening we were going out for tacos and I got offered cocaine twice within 5 mins. Later in the evenings, it is typical to see prostitutes on the main street as well as over 200 in one particular hotel. If you are young and love to party and live on the edge, this could be a fun place for you. For families and older people, I do not recommend Jaco.

I just returned to Miami on Sunday September 23rd for best 4 day vacation I've ever had. It was a guys trip with 4 buddies of mine. My truthful observation is that it is not a very family oriented place I don't know why that wasn't mentioned here. Jaco has a buffet of the most beautiful women imaginable now to protect the men I wont any more on that. Families beware single guys it'll be the time of your lives. You have to die to be any closer to Heaven.

If youre visiting Costa Rica, Jack is a great destination. Most people like and want a lot of what was disliked in this video. Convenience is a good thing while on vacation. If you travel to Costa Rica often, avoid Jaco. The surf is no joke. I stay in Vista Las Palmas and watch a swimmer get drug out of the surf and they didnt survive. Covid restrictions and requirements are a real turn off right now so wait until all of this crap passes.

For those not wanting the Touristyness of Jaco, I always stay in Tarcoles, a small, authentic fishing village about 20 kilometers north of Jaco. It is a great small community where you can immerse yourself among the locals. Check out the accommodations on Home Away or VBRO. And for the best authentic Tico fish soup, check out Fiesta del Mariscos.

Wow I stayed a month in Jaco in 96 and none of that crap was there! There werent even hotels! We stayed at a little cabina was like 6 or 7 little houses surrounding a pool. The sand is hot, but if u leave ur sandals on the beach to go surfing they will be gone when you come in! I cannot believe they have fast food and resorts in jaco now

We've been trying to weigh up whether or not to go to Jaco and this video has been quite helpful with getting more of a feel for the place. We'd heard it is quite touristy there, but I guess the benefit of that is having all of the tourist infrastructure.

Thanks for the great information. I am planning a vacation to Jaco, and staying at Selina Jaco. Just wondering more about transportation from San Jose to Jaco. would it be better if we rented a car, or no? :) Thanks for for sharing the video!

Jaco is great. I really miss that place. Las Olas was great (room, staff, and owners) for an economical hotel stay when I was there and the beach is awesome. Pura Vida!
