My timings to airport didn’t work because of the traffic. Requested for cancel day before and no consideration
Very nice room , you could see the beach from our balcony. The hotel is right on the beach runs and very close to all the shops in town. The breakfast in the morning was excellent. I would definitely stay there again.

Horrible experience. Water was out from afternoon until late night on Halloween. They kept saying 20 more minutes, we ended up going to an event without showering cause we kept believing them. It was still out when we returned in the middle of the night.
Not guest friendly. Expedia had listed as 2 guests. My girlfriend was to stay 2/4 days booked. Because she wasn’t registered, I was charged $50 a night extra for her. Staff has different standards. 1st shift said only charge for overnight guests. But when a friend stopped by just to meet up before a party at around 10pm, the 2nd shift staff charged $50. Wasn’t even there 30 minutes.
Beach is full of debris, mainly wood from washed up trees and hotel makes no effort to clean it up to make it walkable.
Rooms have no sort of closet, but other than that not bad for the price. The restaurant next door (Coco’s) was great.
Had a great stay! The staff was friendly and helpful, parking right out front.. super convenient and breakfast was delicious. Hard to beat the location, close to everything and the beach is literally across the street.
When we checked in we were not given pool or beach towel tickets. Our room’s safe did not work so therefore we had to hide our passports and hope they would not be stolen. There wasn’t a comforter on the bed. We found it the second night tucked away in a different piece of furniture. In suite 6 there was a nasty hole by the jacuzzi tub. The shower head sprayed water straight into the floor so we had to put a towel OVER the shower head to not flood the room when we showered. There was ZERO staff at the check out desk from 6:00-6:30am and we HAD to leave for the airport to catch our flight and so I had to leave a note that we were checking out. I still have no idea if they got that I checked out this AM. There was an huge spider on a reading light above the bed we killed. Overall, if I could give this place zero stars I would.
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.
