Owner is French. Although... More

I spent recently a couple of weeks in this hotel and I really appreciated it. 5 minutes walk from the center. Rooms are sober, but perfectly clean with tv, aircon and wifi in mine. The swimming pool is the must of this hotel, surrounded by a large variety of palm trees. The owner and the staff were really nice and... More

Nice art deco hotel, but quite far walking distance from the Jaco main beach. Quiet hotel, normal sized refreshing pool, area to rest and use wi-fi internet outside the rooms, breakfast was normal. Secured place to park the car. Nice carved wooden door at the breakfast area for the main desk offices. Some restaurants around are OK, but a little... More

This is a nice place with a very helpful staff. We asked for three beds and we got two, but this seemed to be the trend for the rest of Costa Rica on our trip. It is maybe two or three blocks farther from the beach then I would have liked More

La Palmera is located just five hundred meters away from the beach (you are allowed to park your car right on top of the beach). This small hotel is carefully attended by their owners, a courteous French young couple. The rooms, though small, are larger than those in two-star Paris hotels and are equipped with television and air conditioning. The... More

Several adult family members stayed here in separate rooms for several days. All of us were extremely satisfied. The hotel is a few blocks from town, which was, to us, a great advantage. Quiet and peaceful. The rooms are very basic (shelves and closet, no drawers) and VERY clean. A refrigerator is in each room, which was great. The beds... More

This was our second time here, and we loved it again! The pool is HUGE for Costa Rica. The rooms were nice and the AC was cool. The free breakfast was great. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Close to town, yet far enough to be quiet. We would definately come back here! More

This is a great little hotel. The rooms were very clean with lots of character, the pool area was great and the snack bar had good food. It was a bit noisy at night as it is on a main road. A ten minute walk takes you to the centre of Jaco Beach but the beach can be accessed at... More

Having read the two terrible reviews for Hotel La Palmera here on Tripadvisor (they were posted on two consecutive days so they may have been written by the same person...), I felt like I needed to comment on our experience there: - The hotel is not in the center of Jaco, but a 15min walk will bring you there (which...
