Hey there, it’s Hugo again! If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably getting ready for an adventure in Jaco. I’ve been here long enough to know the ins and outs of this place (and I don’t just mean the best surfing spots!). Whether you’re here to ride the waves, explore the jungle, or simply soak up the sun, you’re going to need a place to rest your head—and trust me, after a day of Jaco adventures, you’ll need it.
Now, I may have a soft spot for hammocks and a beach breeze, but I know not everyone is into “roughing it” quite like me. So, I’ve put together a list of my favorite spots to stay in Jaco—whether you’re a backpacker, a couple looking for romance, or someone who just wants to wake up with the sound of the ocean.
Oh, and speaking of waking up… if you’re looking for a bit of late-night fun, Jaco’s nightlife scene is wild! From beach bars to dance clubs, this place turns up the heat after dark. Check out my blog Nightlife In Jaco for the best spots to party till sunrise! But first, let’s get you settled in a place you’ll love.
Grab a cold drink, kick off your flip-flops, and let’s dive into some of the best places to stay in Jaco. (Spoiler alert: one of them might even have better views than my porch! 😄)
