Staff were super friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the front desk staff! I usually don't like hotels, but this really is an exception. It is very peaceful and quiet and next to a river. It feels like you are still in nature, with the benefits of a hotel. Breakfast is very good! We ended up extending our stay here :)

Safety felt like a concern here. Was very isolated and our room was missing the swing bar door lock, not to mention, the bathroom window was left open and unlocked. Slept uneasy. Another big issue was the hotel staff sanitation procedures (or lack of). The breakfast Buffett attendant, made our food, cleaned other areas, all with the same pair of gloves, not changing once. And I saw them standing with the gloved hand in their mouth (biting the nails). I was in shock and immediately stopped eating when I realized they were not compliant with sanitation guidelines.

Beautiful cozy location. The pool was the best I’ve ever seen. The outdoor spa is amazing. Enjoyed a Massage with the sounds of the jungle and the stream just a few feet away. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant offers delicious food and drinks. I highly recommend this place. It’s phenomenal.

We received a very warm welcome when we checked in to Pumilio Mountain and Ocean Resort. Lots of perks due to my Expedia account status. The room was big, beautiful, super comfortable. There was a lovely pool and lounge area, and what appeared to be a popular and luxurious spa. The room rates in early November are very reasonable. This was an excellent choice for the Jaco area and I’d gladly stay here again
