My kid, wife and I are very happy with our stay, beat our expectation. The hotel is surrounded by tropical forest, like a beautiful botanic garden, quite and safe. The breakfast is amazing, love the swimming pool, check-in is simple and easy, spacious room, very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Beautiful hotel !!! The free daily breakfast was fantastic - shoutout to Jordan! The staff at this hotel are super sweet and there are two kitties and a sweet guard dog on the property. Wonderful location as it’s close to downtown but also secluded enough for some quiet and peace. Wonderful stayed for 5 days, highly recommend!
Excellent in every way. The room was very clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. Great location and well-maintained amenities. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
The room was clean and comfortable.The staff was very nice and helpful.Gated 24/7 and the breakfast was excellent.My kids loved the dog and cats that were roaming around.The pool area was very nice.Close to shopping and restaurants.
Amazing location on the edge of jungle and just 15 min walk to main street. Free bicycle if required. Beautifully kept garden. Great breakfast of local cuisine. Clean rooms and friendly staff.
This is a beautiful property there is a store close for snacks u can walk to right outside the gate, breakfast and lunch was amazing too!
They are a dog friendly property which was nice but we had a small yappy dog that started in at 7am! And the shower was broke it is a dated property but will definitely be back. If u do not like small dogs prob not the place for you tho.
We had a wonderful stay! Jordan at the front desk was the absolute best—helpful, friendly, and full of great recommendations that made our trip even better. The grounds were beautiful, almost like staying in a jungle, and the pool was gorgeous. Just wish the bar had been opened. The location was very convenient and just a short drive to town. We also felt very safe, especially with the beautiful guard dog on the property. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend!
The interior of the hotel is like a resort with a nice pool, lots of trees and very beautiful. But the hot tub doesn’t have hot water. The rooms are spacious but needs a bit upkeep like there is some sort of smell in the rooms, so have to keep a/c running. It feels like you are living in the nature which is very nice. The reception closes at 7 but there is security 24*7 and the facility is close gated, so very safe. Near by area is okay. Close to the Jaco downtown. 5 mins drive. Overall nice place to relax.
The place is so beautiful, it’s like they just plopped a hotel in the jungle! It’s so peace and serene, a definite must stay if you’re in Jaco! Staff was wonderful
This hotel is amazing! So beautiful, in a garden setting with a fantastic large pool oasis area. The bar and restaurant have attentive and friendly staff, and great decently priced food and drinks! Our room was HUGE, nicely appointed, AC worked great. I would stay here again (and again…)
Good value if you're looking for a relatively quiet place in a garden setting close to but away from Jaco center. 24/7 security is good. Breakfast is fresh but the same every day. Not sure if it's different on the weekend but I don't believe the onsite restaurant serves lunch or dinner. Plenty of dining options nearby. The room was mostly clean. Some mold or mildew on the nightstand lamp cord. Hot water is limited and seems like it may be shared between the two duplex units. My son had mostly cold showers. I was more fortunate when showering early in the day or later in the evening. The pool is quite nice but there's limited seating and people tend to leave their stuff to "hold" it. The hot tub wasn't hot or working when we tried it. We saw the jets working for others but not sure of the temperature. Standing under the pool's waterfall offers a nice massage. Idiot guests feed the monkeys which has made them aggressive. Thought they were going to attack from the tree above the walkway heading to our room one day. Lots, and lots, of ants. Room safe didn't work electronically so the front desk had to give the only key they had. No telling what would have happened if we had lost it. Lock on bathroom door was broken. Overall hotel seems like it was amazing about 10-15 years ago. Hard to say if the current owner is working to renovate or just maintain.
Would recommend because of the good value and relatively quiet, friendly staff, and picturesque setting.
Docelunas was a great place to just chill out by the pool. Suite was very spacious, room service available! Location is out of the way of busy Jaco, but still close enough to get uber eats delivered!!!!
Amazing staff, big, clean rooms that felt like you were srayingnin the jungle, and a fantastic pool for night swimming

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The photos are a bit misleading. The property appears to have once been a resort in its prime, but it now feels like it may have changed ownership and hasn’t been kept up the same way. The grounds are somewhat neglected, and overall maintenance seems limited.
Parking is tight, and arriving at night was a little confusing. You drive along what feels like a narrow, one-way residential street, and the hotel sits right above it. The main entrance was secured behind two large iron gates, but the night attendant was very kind and welcoming, checked us in smoothly, and provided our room key without any issues.
The room itself was spacious and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, the shower was frustrating — the water temperature constantly fluctuated, so we had to keep adjusting the hot and cold knobs every couple of minutes just to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Because our room faced the residential street, the morning noise was hard to ignore. Between neighborhood dogs barking and neighbors arguing, there was definitely no need for an alarm clock 😅
On a positive note, breakfast was very good — hot, fresh, and with plenty of options to choose from.
Overall, the biggest downsides for me were the condition of the grounds and the shower. With some upkeep and maintenance improvements, this place could really shine again.
It is an exclusive gated resort nestled in the stunning landscape of Jacó. The rooms are surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally warm and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. The owner was truly outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and making our stay unforgettable.
This place is a little oasis away from Jaco (5 minutes) Lots of birds in the morning and a friendly staff. Great pool, but hot tub doesn’t work. We’ve stayed here three times in the last 12 months and always easy and clean.
