This is my 3rd trip to Balcon Del Mar. ( in the middle of a name change to Paradise Jaco Beach). I love that it’s right on the sand. It’s a small resort and by then end of the week you know the staff, they are wonderful. Breakfast every morning included is also nice.

Location is excellent - better part of the beach (in my opinion), right on the beach, and a short walk from the main strip. This was my second time staying there. It is an older hotel and it's currently going through some changes and renovations. Staff is friendly - no complaints there. However breakfast is no longer a buffet - and takes a long time to arrive. And you now have to wear bracelets like you would at a resort - except it's not a resort and those bracelets are annoying in the water and cause tan lines. We kept taking ours off. Also, one of our rooms had the glass for the shower installed on the wrong side so the water would splash everywhere when you shower - but hoping the renovations will address that.

There are no signs with the hotel name. Unless someone points at it you don’t know where it is. I had an argument with some drunk over the parking space. Water barely flowing in the shower. The entire town of Jaco is not neat

I had a really bad experience. I was changed 3 times. We had one of the suites with balcony view. The first room we arrived in the automatic door was not opening so we were locked out of our room for a while. They decided to move us to the room across but the AC was not working on this second unit. They then proceeded to move me to a 3rd room in the upper level however our fridge was not working the entire stay & at that point we were so exhausted from moving rooms & the traveling we decided to stay on the 3rd room. The location was the only convenient part of the hotel & the ocean view. I asked for a late checkout & even after everything we had already gone thru they charged me $50 for the late checkout. Overall not a good experience & no one tried to make it better for us.

No hot water in bathroom. The resort moved us to another room only to have the issue unresolved. This resulted in a poor experience.
