Perfect location, a short walk to the beach or town, although we found it easier to take a taxi in to town and walk back. Taxi is $2-$5 each way but you could walk everywhere if you wanted to. There are amazing local sodas (local mom and pop restaurants) all around that serve good traditional Costa Rican food. Also the tourist spots as well but their food isn’t as great. The community pool is perfect and also nice to have the cocktail pool in the backyard. There is a pair of Macaws that settle into a tree just to the left of the backyard pretty much every night between 5-6 pm too! Jaco is a great home base for visiting the volcanoes, hot springs, Manuel Antonio, waterfalls, and seeing wildlife.
