First trip to Jaco, CR and I'll be back! Clarita's is a fun and inexpensive hotel ON the beach. It is one of it's greatest assets, sand and surf, as you kick back and relax in this cool old surfing town. I traveled with a group that has been staying here for several years and their description of Clarita's was... More

Me and a pal hung out here for the superbowl and had an amazing time at this super chill beach bar and hotel. Great drinks, pretty girls, and the best beach and sunset views. This is also very close to downtown Jaco's restaurants and nightlife. I shall return! More

I stayed at clarita's in Jan. 2012. I was dismayed at the indifference and gruff atitude of the staff as a whole. This was my 4th trip to CR and I have come to expect more. The setup consists of the bartender acting as the reception desk, so she frequently seemed harried and ill. also, if there was any problem,... More

Our trips to Jaco usually involve renting a 2 or 3 bedroom condo but during a last-minute getaway I ended up staying at Clarita's for 1 night and the place was better than expected. The room is not fancy, but it's clean, had a better than expected mattress, along with a mini-bar fridge, safety box and small tv. For the... More

Spent 5 nights at Clarita's hotel and had a great time. The rooms are beach front and basic (fan, air conditioning, tv, hot water and safe), located on the north end of Jaco beach. There is a medium size attractive pool and patio area where one can sun bathe or stay in the shade and use the WIFI. The hotel... More

The hotel was pretty good, the pool and beachfront location were a bonus, but the hotel is situated a little off from the main areas of interest in Jaco. Also the beach in front of the hotel was used as a carpark.Rooms were decent, but not good value for money. The restaurant and bar were really good though. More

I am a single 48 year old feemale. I travelled to Jaco alone, and spent one month at Clarita's. It was very clean, very friendly, and very safe... All of the staff, (restaurant/bar staff, cleaning staff, security staff, and management), went above and beyond my expectations of professionalism and genuine kindness. I have travelled a fair bit and my stay... More

My fiancee and I stayed at Claritas from December 25 - 31 and had a great time. The room was clean, location was great, pool was refreshing, and beers were cheap ($2 at the bar and be sure to ask for a promotion when ordering making them $1.60). There are many locals that hang out at the bar which was... More

My friend and i stayed at Clarita's from Dec. 7th to the 14th. I don't think that Dave will ever forget us. The staff was outstanding, and the security was on top of everything. The rooms are very clean and have anything that you would need. All that i can say, is that i can't wait to get back to... More
