Hotel Balcon del Mar

Hotel Balcón del Mar, on the beachfront in Jacó

Balcón del Mar is a beachfront hotel in Jacó, the surf town on the Central Pacific. The ocean is right outside, and from many rooms you hear the waves as you fall asleep. It suits surfers, friends travelling together and families who want to be on the sand in a lively town with plenty of restaurants nearby.

Why we choose it

• On the beach. The hotel faces the ocean, so the sea is the view and the sound of the waves is always in the background.
• A good base for surfers. Jacó has dependable waves, and surf schools and lessons are easy to arrange for every level.
• Options for groups. Rooms run from standard rooms to apartments with kitchens and ocean-view suites, so friends and families can stay together.

Rooms and views

There are standard and superior rooms, larger rooms with panoramic views, apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, and suites with an ocean view. Each has a private bathroom, air conditioning, TV, a mini fridge, a telephone and a safe, and some rooms have a private jacuzzi.

If the sea is what you came for, ask us for an ocean view room and we will request it.

On the property

The hotel has a pool and a jacuzzi for when the waves get too big, and a restaurant on site. Jacó's seafood restaurants are close by, many of them right by the water, and the town has plenty of choice for anyone who would rather have chicken, beef or pasta.

It is an easy, relaxed place: surf in the morning, pool in the afternoon and dinner in town as the sun goes down.

The hotel is on the beachfront in Jacó, on the Central Pacific. From here we can arrange canopy tours, ATV rides, crocodile tours on the river, a waterfall visit and surf lessons, and Jacó is a convenient stop between San José and the beaches further south.
