10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect it could not have been better!"

Lia Hotel Jaco - Exclusively for Adults, WorldHotels Crafted

"The room was spotless and thoroughly cleaned daily during my one week stay. Keren in the coffee shop became my favorite staff member, and the service was exceptional across the board. I’ve been to Jaco many times and I can wholeheartedly recommend Croc’s to others."

"Very close to where all the shops are, pretty and clean with a lovely view of the ocean from the balcony. It’s close to where everything happens but we were high up and weren’t bothered by noise.
