Best Western Jacó Beach

Best Western Jacó Beach, on the sand in Jacó

Best Western Jacó Beach is a beachfront all-inclusive resort on Pastor Díaz Avenue, about 1 km from the centre of Jacó, on the Central Pacific. It is one of the original resorts in town and has been refurbished over the years. It suits families with children and groups who want an easy beach stay close to San José, with Jacó's restaurants and shops a short walk away.

Why we choose it

• Easy with kids. There are children's activities, a playground and a game room, so younger guests have plenty to do.
• The beach at the gate. The gardens and pool lead straight to the sand, with the beachfront bar right there.
• Close to San José. At about 90 km from the airport, it is one of the shortest drives to a Pacific beach.

Rooms and views

The rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with TV, phone and air conditioning, and look out over the gardens or toward the ocean. The hotel's website did not show its room types when we checked, so we confirm the room and its view when we hold your dates.

On the property

The outdoor pool is open from 8:00 to 20:00 and sits in the gardens between the rooms and the beach. Meals are a buffet at Restaurante El Puerto, and Bar El Muelle is on the beachfront for a drink as the sun goes down. There is volleyball, tennis and a playground, and a game room for the hottest hours of the day.

Surf lessons are easy to arrange in Jacó or at nearby Playa Hermosa.
