Love this place

Loved this hotel! Gorgeous decor and the comfiest biggest bed ever. So close to the beach with the most beautiful sunsets. Lots of restaurants close by and great coffee provided in the room. Only comment is I didn’t realise we had to leave a sign on the door otherwise they don’t clean the room (I didn’t see any communication about this) however they gave us new towels straight away when asked.

Just the best

Just loved this place. One of our favourite ever hotels. It has such a great vibe, the rooms are perfect, the pool and bar area is small but just perfect. Everyone who worked there as well as the owners who we had the pleasure to meet with were incredible. We would actually travel back to Costa Rica just to stay here again.

Hotel Amavi was absolutely beautiful! The staff was friendly and informative. Very clean with the most comfortable beds. Location was great, just a few minutes walk to the beach with a couple of bars and a cute restaurant called Mahi Mahi you could just walk up to and order the most delicious food and sit right there on the beach and eat! Pura Vida ☀️

We were greeted by friendly staff, they also sent us details for checking in if they were not at the desk as we were arriving late, the room had a comfortable bed, coffee was provided with a coffee maker in the room, and the layout of the room and the level of detail was great. All rooms are laid out around the pool are light and have blackout blinds, very good stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Amavi Hotel 10 Star at 💙

Each visit to Costa Rica has been truly awesome experience. I would say this trip with a longtime 50 year friend was perfect each day. Excited to get the trip started we decided to check in a day early to Amavi Hotel. Amazingly, that was well received through text whats app. Arriving, we were more than pleased. Frankly, we were so impressed we stayed all days at Amavi Hotel, added another. Lol This hotel gives the most positive vibes in every aspect. Rooms, grounds, staff, location and peace of mind. No worries here. Outstanding locally owned and many ticos earning a good living. Support the local economy and this Jaco Beach Hotel will give back to you years of Pura Vida.... To be honest, this Hotel Staff will expose the true Pura Vida Lifestyle. The 5 star ranking doesn't say enough here, to recharge the soul is 10 star. I would recommend to, families, friends, solo travelers. I personally travel all categories.
