Croc’s Resort & Casino

Croc's Resort & Casino, on the beach at the north end of Jacó

Croc's sits right on the beach on Pastor Díaz Avenue, toward the quieter northern end of Jacó on the Central Pacific. It is a big, lively resort with a pool, several restaurants, a spa and a casino, and Jacó's shops are a short drive away. It suits groups of friends, families with teenagers and anyone who likes some action in the evening.

Why we choose it

• Plenty to do after dark. The casino and the Game On Sports Bar keep the evening going without leaving the resort.
• A pool worth the stay. The large resort pool has waterfalls and its own pool bar, El Zarpe, with the beach just beyond.
• Condos for families. One and two-bedroom Oceanview Condos have private balconies over the sea and give a family room to spread out.

Rooms and views

The Deluxe King and Deluxe Two Queen rooms look out over the ocean, the mountains or the resort, so ask for an ocean view if the sea is what you came for.

The Oceanview Condos, with one or two bedrooms, all face the water from a private balcony, and they are the choice for families or for a longer stay.

On the property

Days revolve around the pool, with its waterfalls and lounge space, and the sand in front. El Zarpe serves drinks at the pool. For dinner, La Stanza is the resort's fine dining room, and Los Cuates Mexican Grill is the relaxed option. The spa offers massages and treatments, and there is a beach club and a shop.

At night the casino and the Game On Sports Bar take over, which is why Croc's works so well for groups.

Location and getting there

The resort is on Pastor Díaz Avenue in Jacó, about 90 minutes from the San José airport by the resort's own estimate. From here we arrange surf lessons, canopy tours, crocodile river trips on the Tárcoles, sport fishing and days at Carara and Manuel Antonio national parks.
