Crocodile Bridge

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Crocodile Bridge is a fantastic destination for those eager to observe crocodiles in their natural habitat without spending a dime. Visitors can easily park near local restaurants before crossing the bridge, but it's wise to keep valuables out of sight due to occasional thefts reported in the area. Once on the bridge, you’ll be greeted by an impressive sight—often several crocodiles basking on sandy banks or swimming lazily in the river below.
Crocodile Bridge is a really cool stop if you’re driving through the area. It’s a major bridge over a large valley and river, and the crocodiles that live below are usually out sunning themselves, making it perfect for photos. There are sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, but the southwest side (right-hand side if you’re coming from San Jose) typically has the best view.
There are also some restaurants and gift shops nearby, and parking is just along the side of the road. If you’re heading to Jacó or further down the coast, this is the perfect “mid-drive, stretch your legs and grab some food” kind of stop. On the way back to the airport, it’s also a great spot to pick up last-minute souvenirs.

We saw 9 crocodiles in total! Definitely worth a pit stop if you are driving past the area. We parked at the side and no one asked us to pay for them to watch our car. Perhaps it is because we were there at 5pm.
What a unique experience, I recommend!!
We saw two crocodiles and since it’s a free spot to look at them, I would definitely recommend it for making a quick stop. Also good place to grab a coffee and take a few minutes of rest.
Crocodile Bridge is beautiful. The day we stopped all the crocs were in the water and not sunning up on the shore. But the views alone of the scenery and the river are breathtaking. Nice small eateries and gift shops. Great place to take a break on your drive.
Although we arrived midday there were 14 very large crocodiles right beneath the bridge. They weren’t moving much but it was still worth the visit. It’s free and there are plenty of souvenir shops. We parked at the north end of the bridge which was where the crocodiles were.
One has to park near the bridge, and walk on the path, designated for pedestrians. We could see many alligators down under the bridge. If you don't want you take the boat cruise, this is a neat way to watch the cricodiles.crocodiles.
This is not ticketed, it's a public path.
Great stop on our way to Dominical. We got smoothies and lunch! Saw some crocodiles and got to shop!
Super crowded spot to see a few crocodiles laying around on little islands with a lot of garbage on them. It’s cool for a minute but isn’t anything special. If you’re transferring between cities, it’s a spot to stop quick but don’t go out of your way for it.

National park
Nature & Parks
Parque Nacional Carara is a vast national park renowned for its dense rainforest, diverse wildlife and picturesque hiking trails. The park boasts interconnected loop trails that allow you to customize the length of your hike. While exploring, keep an eye out for exotic birds with the help of binoculars and playful monkeys like spider monkeys who may shake branches around you.
Beautiful national park with a large variety of plant, insect and animal species. When we visited there was no shortage of specimens to see in their natural environment. The walking through the park is very easy so young and old can easily partake. Load the Merlin app and you'll be able to identify many different bird species. Monkeys are plentiful. Bring a rain jacket, binoculars and sturdy waterproof footwear. Bug spray is helpful. The bugs weren't bad, but there were a few. It is one of the smaller parks, but very nice and very convenient to Jaco.

Amazing park!! We saw white faced monkeys, tons of macaws, poisonous frogs, a bat, a tarantula, eyelash viper, parrots and other tropical birds, etc. etc. Hiiiighly recommend hiring a guide when you get to the park (cash only, we paid $35 pp) - we wouldn't have seen/noticed anything but maybe the macaws & frogs without the help of our amazing guide Andre! And they will get up close shots with their scopes for some incredible photos.
We came as soon as they opened but unfortunately didn't stay more than 40min because we forgot to bring our bug spray. It's a must for this park we were immediately surrounded by hundreds of bugs. They don't sell any at the park so make sure you bring your own. We bought our tickets online for 10$. There were guides at the entrance of the park which would be smart to get one they are able to spot the animals and insects a lot easier than most people. I believe they charge 25$ per person for around 3 hours. We'll be back prepared for the next hike
Get your ticket online. The entrance was no line at 10am. The trail was reasy to follow. It started raining during my walk. The frogs and snakes started moving. It was really dark in the dense parts so prepare for that. There was biting horse flies but the are easily neutralized. Mosquitoes weren't an issue for me even with my shirt off during the heavy rain. Overall great trail ill have to return to experience it on a sunny day. I walked up to the croc bridge. Its 2 kilometers and felt a bit far esp with 18 wheelers flying by. I'd recommend a taxi for most. But its a neat spot with food and crocs and macaws flying around. Check it out for sure.
Carara National Park is a hidden gem for nature lovers! The biodiversity here is incredible—you can see everything from scarlet macaws to monkeys, butterflies, and so much more. We opted to explore the park with a local guide, and it made all the difference. Without their keen eye and deep knowledge, we would have missed so much of the wildlife that was camouflaged or high up in the trees. The trails are well-maintained, and the experience felt peaceful and immersive. Highly recommend hiring a guide—you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the park and its amazing ecosystem.
We really enjoyed walking through this park! I would recommend stopping by. It'll take a couple of hours to go through and look at all of the vegetation and inhabitants.
Visited on a sunday in early August 2025. Complicated system of ticket purchase must be changed to make it more easy, especially for some not-so computer savy types like me! So we spent about 15 mins trying to get on-line to purchase the tickets and that was no nice. But everything else is nice in this park! Walk slowly, search out the mixted bird flocks - find the antbirds! If you find birds you will be really really be getting your birding fix, we got Bicolored Antbird as well! I would recommend a guide to anyone not in full knowledge of the difficulties of finding wildlife in such a dense, dark place. Otherwise, selfies and jungle photos easy!
This is a beautiful though smaller park with many animals to see. Hiring a local guide was well worth the money, as we saw many more animals than we would have on our own.
Our guide Mauricio was pointing out birds like toucans on branches high up in the canopy, and he had a spotting scope so we could see them up close from a distance. The trees are amazing too.

Playa Mantas

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Playa Mantas is a serene beach with calm waters, making it safe for kids and ideal for swimming. The area is clean and boasts friendly locals. To access the beach, visitors can drive straight until the road ends, passing a tree along the way. A small fee can be paid to a local to watch over parked cars. It's recommended to stay on the left side of the beach as the right side has inflatables in the water and a cordoned-off section.
Beautiful beach. Locally popular but that’s also part of the experience. Most folks concentrate at the entry. Swimming is better at high tide. The beach is covered in coral bits and shells (take photos only), there are birds around, monkeys, and just a wonderful feeling of being in paradise. Parking is tight, so be prepared or take an uber. You can access Playa Blanca but you have a short climb up and down over rocks so at two different points. The one further away might be a bit easier but you still need good mobility to access.
Glynis T — Google review
Quiet beach with great shady spots. Some rocks walking out to the water but you can get out to a sandbar. Great for kids but young ones might want water shoes. We saw tons of macaws flying by as well.
A fun beach where you can swim peacefully unlike Jaco! It was clean from debris, it was soft smooth sand that feels amazing on your feet. Great warm waters to swim in. You might get a chance to see some fish like I did. Plenty of spots with shade also. There’s artisans for great souvenirs! I got to see monkeys all over which was amazing to see.
Pretty beach near San jose! Park near the beach and pay the locals how much ever you can. Remember the public parking would cost $40.
There are bathrooms for $5 and you get to access them twice.
The water is clean and warm to swim, there are a lot of monkeys and iguanas.
This beach was great for observing wildlife. We saw at least 30 monkeys and one sloth and her baby. It was the closest we’ve ever come to these animals in the wild. The next great thing about this beach are the boat ride excursions, they are super affordable! 3,000 ($6) for a 45 min boat ride tour and one of my kids favorites was the “sofa” ride for 4,000 ($8) each. The water was warm but the sand has many pebbles and shells so water shoes would help, but once you’re in the water the sand is soft. This is day 2 of our 17 day trip and my kids already want to come back here instead of trying other beaches.
Quiet and great beach. Calm and clean water. When the tide is low, you can easily walk to Playa Blanca, another awesome beach to be.
Nice little beach and if you are lucky like we were, you may see white-face and spider monkeys. We also saw some rays flying out of the water! Playa Blanca is nicer (and water clearer) but you need to walk a few minutes from Mantas to get there.
Washrooms are difficult to find (unless you park at an hotel) and come prepared as there is no food service close to the beach, except for snack bar with limited options. Having said that, there is a soda and a store less than a kilometer on you way to the public parking.
Lovely and calm beach full of coral where we saw a couple sloths.
During low tide, you can hike over to Playa Blanco which isn’t accessible to the public via a road and it is a bit of a rocky climb but well worth it. Make sure to keep an eye on the tide as we had to make our way back over to Playa Mantas by 1pm so we didn’t get stuck on the other side.
It wasn’t too busy in Feb and we would go back again.

Jaco Beach, located in the Puntarenas Province of Costa Rica, offers a 2.5-mile stretch of palm tree-lined coastline that is perfect for both surfing and relaxation. The area is known for its vibrant nightlife options, making it a popular destination for beach enthusiasts seeking adventure and entertainment. With its close proximity to San Jose, Jaco Beach also offers convenient access to shopping opportunities.
Ah, Playa Jacó! I remember my visit there. It really felt like a classic beach town, buzzing with energy. The beach itself was quite expansive, and I loved seeing all the surfboards – you could tell it was a popular spot for surfers, with those waves breaking. Even though it was a lively place, there were still moments of peace, especially with the beautiful sunsets over the Pacific. The palm trees lining the shore added to that quintessential tropical vibe. It was a great place to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean.

There’s not enough words for this beach! You can swim here! You can surf here and other water activities. Lots of places that’s close where you can eat. You get amazing ocean views. My wife and I got massages from locals which was a great touch. There’s all
Types of stores really close as well so another nice plus.
Great beach! Warm water, plenty of space for everyone. Fun rocks and cliff areas to explore at low tide.
Jaco is a small town on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. Its beaches are spectacular and the friendliness of Ticos is pretty good. I lived in this town for 1 year in 2011 so why not share my experience and photos from Jaco. Be ware of the waves!!!
Jaco Beach is an absolute vibe. Sick surf spot with huge, rolling waves and some seriously wild energy—especially at high tide. Whether you’re paddling out or just watching the action from the shore, it’s nonstop stoke. The beach itself has that classic laid-back Costa Rican surf-town feel—friendly locals, warm water, and golden sand that stretches for miles. Even if you’re not hopping on a board, it’s a blast just soaking in the scene. Great for surfers chasing a thrill and chill enough for beach bums just vibing out. 10/10, pura vida all the way
Not the cleanest beach but nice to walk along still. Pebbles and dark sand. Decent waves. The river meets the beach and makes for an interesting spot.
It is beautiful but not really for swimming, tide is too dangerous, great for surfing
Beautiful beach from end to end. Great waves. Perfect for surfing beginner and up. The Northern end has a couple of larger resorts but the centre and Southern end have smaller resorts, private homes and that feeling of things being accessible, safe, and a community. People gathered to share sunsets. Two fellows pruning coconut trees stopped and cut one open for me without expecting anything but appreciation in return. Horse tours also available. Surf lessons. Or just jumping in the waves in a perfectly sandy beach. Watch for flags for conditions. Saw at least 3 life guard stations. Very clean save for the occasional doggie dodo.

A small open air shopping mall with stores, restaurants and ice cream. It’s nice to come and look around. They are dog friendly.
Its very convenient and has safe parking. Lots of yummy restaurants! Try the cacao steak at Grafitti or the nacho fries at Hamburgesia. Also on Wednesdays the frozen yogurt place has 2 for 1!! definitely try the fruit pearls, they are flavor explosions in your mouth.
Took a pit stop here to cool off while exploring the area. Very trendy and offered a variety of shops to stop in and explore. Too cute!!
Awesome, Awesome place. Clean, safe, fun, anything you want visit there. Stores, street vendors, food cheap and high end. Highly recommend.
While in Jaco we stopped by the open air mall, but were too early and nothing was open.
There were a variety of shops and mostly services with ample parking, but we appreciated seeing a bulk food store committed to reducing waste and selling quality goods.
The washrooms were immaculate.
Very nice shopping and restaurant experience in the middle of Jaco. Some of the best restaurants in town
Beautifully designed outdoor shopping center with more then 10 restaurants/food bars/cafes/ice cream places to pick from, outdoor and indoor seating. Live music and family activities, banking facilities, gyms and yoga studios, attorneys and insurance agency, rental agencies, bike rentals and car rentals, pharmacy and lab work, dentists and beauty bar, interior design, surf shops, art exhibits....this shopping center is basically a one stop shop. Offering secure parking, fountains, play grounds in a clean and welcoming environment that is family friendly. Love it here!

Observation deck
Perched high on Mount Miro, the El Miro viewpoint in Jaco, Costa Rica offers a captivating blend of history and natural beauty. The remnants of an extravagant mansion atop the hill exude an air of mystery, with each stone telling its own tale. Visitors are treated to breathtaking views of Jaco and Playa Hermosa from this vantage point. The old mansion, adorned with tall pillars and adorned with street graffiti in some areas, adds to the allure of this ancient ruin.
This hike is wonderful and straight up!!! Has two good rest stops with amazing 👏 views and sometimes monkeys🐒 at the top. I suggest hiking boots or good running shoes. Watch wear you go the trail isn't perfect but they got two spots for trash. Remember to leave it better then you found it. My favorite part Dogs are welcomed ☺️!!

Had my first-ever horseback riding experience at El Miro in Costa Rica, and it was unforgettable! The trail had steep inclines and cliffs that added just the right amount of thrill for a first-timer. My horse, Gierllo (I think!), was a little stubborn at first, but thanks to the amazing guide, we found our flow and ended up a great team. The views were absolutely breathtaking and made the whole ride even more special.
Pro tip: Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes — and trust your guide, they’ll make sure you feel confident on the ride!
We hiked to El Miro Observation Deck in the evening, and it was the perfect time to go. The first part of the hike is a bit steep, but our 7-year-old managed it with no problem. By the time we reached the top, the sun was setting over Jacó Beach—absolutely stunning. The hike back was easy since it’s all downhill.
Along the way, we enjoyed vibrant murals and scenic viewpoints. It’s a peaceful, safe spot to take in nature and get some great photos.
You can park right at the mouth of the trail, and there was someone there watching cars—we gave them a few dollars for peace of mind. Everyone we met was friendly.
Tips: Bring bug spray, wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and be prepared for heat and humidity. This is a great, free activity for families or anyone who wants to enjoy incredible views and a touch of local art. Highly recommended!
Free hiking trail up to a beach view. The hike is up hill to a abandoned hotel that lost its funding and now is a really cool hike and hang out up at the top. The cool thing is you see all wild life monkeys, birds, frogs, etc on the hike up. Its well worth the hike to go see it.
Totally worth it!
You can park at the park g lot that has some attendants, street, or close by.
Make sure you head up the steep paved road as we when up a private drive at first. The hike is a gentle slope and the rainforest is amazing.
Keep left and go down the broken ceramic trail to the hotel.
The top is killer!
Very long walk up. Almost two miles up. This is all supposed to be free, but you pay for parking. 3000 colones. Put on good sneakers. Great views. Recommended
If you are staying in Jaco and want to do a very light trek, accompanied by the best views of Jaco town and Jaco beach, this is a must. Add the mystery of this abonded place and time well spent is guaranteed.
My wife and I visited El Miro near Jaco, Costa Rica, and it was amazing! It’s an abandoned mansion turned into an art-filled jungle spot with incredible ocean views. The hike up is short but steep, and the mix of graffiti, mosaics, and nature makes it super unique. Perfect for photos and chilling out. Wear good shoes, bring water, and go early to avoid the heat. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Nestled along the road leading to Miro Mountain, the Mirador de Jacó is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this vibrant area of Costa Rica. This viewpoint boasts an iconic JACO sign that serves as a perfect backdrop for those Instagram-worthy photos against the stunning beach scenery. While walking to the viewpoint may require navigating some uneven terrain along the main road, adventurous visitors can also venture down through lush forest paths towards the sea, where they might encounter playful crabs and colorful parrots.
Great spot to catch a sunset!! There is a Jack sign and a little walkway with other things to see. There are a couple of lots to pull over and park.

Our car trunk got broken in as we stopped by this spot and went down the trail to the sea level. I would highly advise any tourist to be extra cautious (as I type this note while filing a report in the police station..). As we thought through the entire process here, the burglar(s) were waiting in a car stopping at the deck and watched us go down the trail before opening our trunk in some way (there was no sign of damage). Just be very careful of your belongings and bring your passport etc with you all the time.
The Jacó Overlook is a must-visit “instagram spot” as the wife calls it. It’s super easy to notice and park at (just on the side of the road) and it offers stunning views of the city and ocean inlet below and of the surrounding countryside. Also, I’m not sure why but there’s also a Buddhist looking statue which seems odd, but honestly not out of place with how peaceful the views are.
One easy to miss thing is the trail that leads down to the ocean. While it’s a bit tricky in parts, it’s manageable and absolutely worth the effort, especially when you reach the bottom.
Whether you’re stopping by to snap some photos or just to enjoy the hike, it’s a great spot any time of day to stop; from morning to sunset.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Stunning Views and a Must-See Spot!
Mirador de Jacó offers an absolutely breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and Jacó Beach. It's a great spot to watch the sunset, capture beautiful photos, or just take a moment to soak in the scenery. The lush hills surrounding the area make the experience even more special.
There's a large statue of Jesus that adds a peaceful atmosphere, and it's nice that there's a bit of seating if you want to relax for a while. Parking is available, though it can get crowded, so it’s best to arrive a little earlier, especially on weekends.
Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Jacó!
THE PERFECT SUNSET SPOT! Come here and sit and enjoy the sunset from the back of your car or on the bench and enjoy the glorious views over the Pacific Ocean!
The views from here are spectacular and worth a quick stop for a picture or two.
This "hike" follows a steep inclined driveway to an AirBnb and then a dirt road path with more steep walking. Do not get discouraged, it is worth the walk. Be sure to take lots of water and your camera as you will NEED the water and want the photos.
There is a man at the base of where you park that you pay to "guard your car." He also offers cold coconuts and there is a small shop for refreshments.
There is a walk down to the ocean behind the sign. We saw the prettiest sunset from there. Very romantic.

Indian restaurant
Asian fusion restaurant
Hola Indian Restaurant Jaco offers a decent and fast service with authentic Indian food. The outdoor seating area is great, but the prices are a bit high. The chef from Delhi ensures an authentic taste with dishes cooked in a real tandoor oven. The garlic naan is freshly baked and delicious, and they offer a good selection of drinks including lassi. While dining in provides a 5-star experience, takeout may not be as impressive.
We were told this was a good Indian restaurant by our VRBO host here in Jaco. Of course I love Indian food and had to try but honestly I was Sus... STOP the BUS!! The food was Fire! Amazing!! Unbelievable!!! We ordered a Mango Lassie 4 out of 5, Chicken Seekh Kebab 5, Butter Chicken 10 out of 5, no seriously it was, Garlic Nann 5, Bullet Nann 5, which i have never had - it was a spicy nann and it was SPICEY!! All flavors were on point and portions were perfect. I am really impressed and would never had guessed a place so good was in Jaco CR.

For starters, we appreciate Dhanveer for his friendly and welcoming service. We met him the night before and his energy definitely made us want to come today. With that said, the food was amazing and as mentioned previously the service was phenomenal! Highly recommend this place! Once again a big thanks to Dhanveer!
Had a good vibe having food here. The food is really authentic and very tasty. Atmosphere is cool too.
Best Indian food around or in whatever I had in Costa Rica.
May be a bit pricy but worth it.
Expensive. 2 pm light meal of 1 entree, 2 lassis, naan cost us >$32! Yes, pricey, but yummy yum👍😍 No other diner at the time. The chef prepared the naan at the drinks counter-- yummy smell too.
We had a dine in and take out experience. The dine in was 5 stars. The food was really good. The takeout was a 3 star experience. The naan was chewy and the chicken was dry. Although the masala was still very good. Can definitely recommend dining in. Don't do takeout. It's also not the cheapest option. The seating is outside so there isn't any AC. It was pretty hot when we had lunch.
It's rare that Indian food in other countries tastes authentic. The food here was very decent and service was fast and friendly. The outdoor seating area is great, even when it's very hot outside. The waiter asked how spicy I wanted the butter chicken I ordered, and he did not disappoint. Definitely spicy enough, even for an Indian. The only negative about this place is the cost of dishes. I think it's pretty overpriced for what it is, but it's also one of the only Indian restaurants I've seen.
Delicious Indian food and the best naan I’ve ever had.
The service is also phenomenal (my water cup never got empty).
If you’re in the mood to feast I recommend Hola India.
Amazing and authentic Indian food in the most unexpected of places. The friendly cook is Indian and from Delhi and makes the best dishes. They have a real tandoor oven and which ensures authentic taste. The tandoor vegetable platter was amazing as was the mixed vegetable curry. The garlic naan is spot on and served freshly baked. Good selection of drinks including lassi. Friendly and helpful staff.

Restaurant
KoKo Gastro Bar is a popular beachfront restaurant located at the end of the only dirt road left in Jaco. It offers amazing food at reasonable prices, with a great breakfast menu and fresh tuna dishes being among its highlights. The restaurant has a fun vibe and serves delicious drinks, making it a favorite spot for many visitors. While some have praised the food and margaritas, others have noted that the service could be improved.
KoKo Gastro Bar is a must-visit if you’re in Jacó! The view is absolutely amazing, especially at sunset — you’re sitting right on the beach with the perfect atmosphere. We started with the ceviche, which was incredible — super fresh and packed with flavor. The drinks were great too; we tried both the margarita and the sangria and loved them.
For dinner, I had the Tuna Bowl, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. It came loaded with fresh ahi tuna, tons of veggies, rice, and creamy avocado — everything was so fresh and flavorful. We also tried the teriyaki steak bowl — the sauce was delicious, though there wasn’t a ton of meat. Still, overall, the food, drinks, and unbeatable beachside setting made it a perfect evening. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful dinner there that gave so much needed variety to our trip. We'd mostly been eating rice/beans/protein so we were looking for something different and a local artist store recommended Koko.
Walking to it definitely felt a little shady at night as we had to walk down a long dimly lit alley and their sign as the end of the alley was not well lit. But once we spotted the restaurant it was very brightly lit, full of people and had a live band playing.
The restaurant is at the edge of the beach so I can imagine during the day you get a beautiful ocean view.
The food was excellent as I ordered their burger and my sister got their fish tacos. The mixed drinks were delicious and we also enjoyed their ceviche as an appetizer.
The only knock would be that the servers really had their hands full with only 3 wait staff for a completely full restaurant. They could probably use one more waiter.
We found this place after a few recommendations from locals. It's pretty hidden down a side alley off of the main street, but located right on the beach.
Food was amazing and probably the best on our trip. Prices were also very reasonable.
Koko Gastro Bar was a great experience. As others have mentioned, it’s right on the beach and such a cute little place. We went on a Friday night @ 7:30p and were sat immediately. I didn’t get the name of our server, but she was very attentive & did great. We started with white Passionfruit sangria - Which was delicious. The passionfruit wasn’t too overpowering or sour, it was just the right amount. For an appetizer, we shared the shrimp ceviche. This was not our favorite shrimp ceviche that we’ve had, but it definitely did the job and was tasty. For our entrées, we had the Jalapeño Mahi and Wildberry Tenderloin. The Jalapeño Mahi was cooked to perfection and the fish flaked just like you would expect it to. The fish was also seasoned perfectly and the crust on top had the perfect crunch. I would absolutely have this again. I will also add that the sides, which were vegetables and potatoes, were also very delicious. Each were seasoned perfectly and the potatoes were nice and crispy. My friend had the tenderloin which was cooked exactly as she liked it, but she did comment that the sauce was a little sweeter than she would prefer, but that did not affect the dish. It was still great. This is a great option if you’re in Jaco and want a nice place on the beach to have dinner.
Very nice food, prepared with care and an amazing combination of ingredients. Super recommended if you want to try something different.
Wow! Hands down the best meal(s) we've had in Costa Rica. For lunch we had koko burger and mahi mahi. For supper we brought in a spanish mackerel we caught and they prepared it 4 different ways!!
Stunning views, a lively ambiance, and excellent service. The food and drinks were great. It’s great value for money . I recommend the place
If you're in Jaco, this place is a must for dinner! Food and drinks were excellent and the beach atmosphere was great. Very fair prices

Please read in full, we really wanted to love this place, they weren't ready. Our concierge made reservations for our group of 40 for my 50th birthday dinner here, they simply couldn't handle it. We were provided 2 (TWO) servers for our group (of 40) we told them numerous times to be sure that they'd separate the orders (checks) of the various parties (they didn't) which caused a disaster and for many ruined the night and while experience. The food was good, but for many came out wrong (my steak came out wrong 3x, as did others). I will say the manager (I believe) tried his best to accommodate and provide a good experience, and he was very nice, but the simple fact that it LITERALLY took over an hour or more) to simply pay is crazy. We had reservations after dinner which had to be moved and many of our group just went "home" due to the lengthy and quite exhausting wait and "check out" experience. The wait staff was friendly, I will say. I'm sure if you go as a couple or maybe group of 4, your experience might be a good one, this is sonly for our Large group experience. You'd figure when you have reservations for 40 they'd be prepared for it, they were not.
This was a really special celebratory meal with my fiance and her mother. We dined outside to the sounds of the waves. We could see the ocean. We had mushrooms, steak, tartar, sauces and more. Everything was on point and perfectly cooked. Our meal was amazing! Ricardo was on point and made it really special! His recommendations were exactly what we wanted! He was awesome! The desert he recommended (apple pancake which was I think crème buleed) with homemade dulce de leche ice cream was over the top!
Me and my girlfriend came here for our one year anniversary. The service started out good we ordered drinks the server told me about the surf and turf special which I got. My girlfriend ordered the penne alla checca pasta. Our food came out I ordered my steak medium and it came out almost rare. My girlfriend did not like the pasta so she was going to order something else. Our server NEVER came back after 40min of trying to wave him down he finally came over at that point we were just ready to go. I told him she didn’t like the pasta and asked for a box for mine so I could try to heat it up at home to cook it longer. He brought the check and we asked why we were still charged for the pasta when he took it back he said because there was nothing wrong with it. I’ve been a server for 8 years and this was the worst service I’ve ever had. If I would have known we were still going to be charged for it I would have just taken it with me and I myself would have just ate it for lunch tomorrow instead of paying for something we never even ate. I’m so disappointed by this experience. Paid $210 for poor service and food we didn’t even eat.
After leaving the beach, my friend and I stumbled upon this spot and decided to finally have some fish during our stay — and honestly, it turned out to be one of our best choices.
We started with the fried calamari appetizer, which came in larger chunks than usual but was crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. The sauces and lime on the side tied it all together perfectly.
For drinks, I went with a Flor de Caña served as a double on ice alongside a small pitcher of Coke — I liked the touch of being able to mix it to your liking. It hit just right.
The main dish was the star: a whole fried fish with a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior and tender meat inside. I enjoyed it so much that I devoured it down to the bones. The green rice, sautéed vegetables, and seafood sauce on the side complemented everything nicely.
Just know that if you sit closer to the beach, you’ll likely get interrupted by vendors passing by, so sitting a bit further inside might make for a more relaxed experience.
Overall, great food, good vibes, and a solid seaside spot worth checking out.
Had an amazing experience here. Allan provided excellent service. There is a really nice wine room and has a/c and the deck has good views of the beach. Great old fashions and the tuna sashimi and flan was delicious.
Marketed as a steak and lobster place, was incredibly unsatisfied with the lobster. $80 USD for a tiny and mushy small piece of lobster. No one checked in on how we were doing while we ate so I couldn’t say anything. Wouldn’t go back. Photo: $40 USD of lobster. Way less than I’ve seen at other places in Jaco
I ate here last night and the food was great. I started out with the chorizo. It had great flavor. And for my meal I had a beef and shrimp skewer with rice and grilled vegetables. It was delicious. The staff was great and the open air and view of the beach and sunset were amazing. It is an expensive place to eat but I felt it was worth the price.

Sushi restaurant
Arigato's is a small sushi restaurant with excellent service and top-notch sushi. The owner, originally from Japan, brings an authentic touch to the art of sushi making. Visitors praise the generous portion sizes and flavorful dishes, including tuna-stuffed jalapenos and tempura prawns. The fried rice with chicken is also highly recommended. Guests describe it as a must-visit for fresh and flavorsome sushi along with wonderful service.
I was recommended to come here after my local friend (who is a sushi chef) recommended it as the best place in town for authentic and fresh sushi. He was 100% right. It was super fresh, simple and beautiful rolls. We will be back often now that we have found this little gem. 💎 as a note we had the spicy tuna hand rolls, the sample skin hand roll the tempura roll (which was amazing and my son who normally doesn’t eat sushi loved it) and a salmon roll.
Chloe M — Google review
We had salmon sashimi and tonkotsu ramen. The food was amazing!! Restaurant is a little shabby but don’t let that put you off, this was some of the best Japanese food we had outside Japan
So we really don’t like giving bad reviews, but we just don’t understand all the reviews from people saying it can hold up to San Francisco, New York and Japan! We have eaten sushi in all those places,
and lived in Los Angeles. We eat sushi at least once a week and are there for a good while when we do. We had high hopes and it fell short.
The two stars are for the fact that the fish was fresh. But that is it.
We started with the Tuna Carpaccio. It wasn’t like any carpaccio we’ve had around the world. The cuts were so thick you had to take two/three bites and chew a lot. Personally, I would prefer regular cuts with an extra piece if you are trying to provide value. The top was full of seaweed and mayo based sauces. In our experience a carpaccio should be light and refreshing many times with a ponzo, yuzu or base of that nature.
We decided to give a Nigiri a try and ordered the Prado. Again so thick! My piece had a large piece of cartilage that I had to spit out. I also had to eat it in 3 bites and chew a lot. Again personally we feel you lose the quality of the taste of the fish. If value is what you are going for, give 3 pieces at regular/normal slicing instead of 2 large cuts.
We unfortunately closed out after that.
I’ve been here many times and tried many dishes, the service is always good and the chef always welcomes you personally.
My favorite dish is ramen, I never get tired of eating it to be honest.
Try the ginger lemonade, it’s made on demand.
The sushi is also great, there’s a big menu with plenty of offers, you can ask the menu with the offers on top of the regular menu.
Best sushi in Jaco! The variety of creativity of rolls is truly the chef’s gift. Friendly service and perfectly relaxed vibe. Sit at cozy tables or I prefer the street front long table.
Outstanding sushi. And for something different, the tuna stuffed jalapenos were absolutely spot on (and spicy). We also had a couple of tempura prawns which we thought were tiny compared to what we normally get in the UK but the flavour was outstanding and it was so much more tasty. All the sushi dishes were very generous in portion sizes compared to what we are used to. This is a brilliant place to eat with really flavoursome and fresh sushi along with wonderful service.
Really really good, and comparable to fantastic places in San Francisco and New York and Japan.
Plus the waitress was really welcoming and kind!
I got the pargo nigiri (red snapper) and the ushiro mawashigeri roll. Both were fantastic.
Try the house infused pineapple sake - it’s delicious!
I liked this place way more than Ohana down the street, taste wise.
Absolutely delicious !! Very tasty ramen. I took the miso veggie ramen and it was very delicious !!

The brewery serves gourmet pub fare such as nachos, wraps, burgers, and fish sandwiches. Happy hour runs from Monday to Thursday and Friday evenings. The atmosphere is laid-back with a bar vibe and offers delicious chicken wing starters, tuna tataki, and fish tacos.
Fantastic local craft brewery in Jaco. I think between my wife and I we tried all the beers on tap and liked them all. Great facility, with lots of room inside and out, family friendly, great staff. Excellent food also, the wings are probably the best I’ve had in many years. Would definitely be a regular here if we lived in Jaco

We so enjoyed this brewery! The Watermelon Honey Wheat beer was fantastic, as were the chicken wings and tacos! The service, atmosphere and live music were great (Weds), and super family friendly. Bravo!
Great place to stop for a good micro brewery on your way to or from San Jose. Favorite beer is the brown ale and their tuna fish burger and fries are delicious. Service is great and the proprietors are friendly and are eager to let you try beer samples.
This place was amazing. The beer was unique and tasty. We drink lots of craft beer all over the world and this place is definitely worth a visit. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect for people of all ages.
Cool spot for local craft beers. They were out of the fish tacos, but the sliders were really good. Lots of tvs and lots of space. We enjoyed all of beers that we tried.
Very good place! The wait is a bit long but it’s ok. We choose the fish tacos and the chicken sandwich! It’s was very good ☺️
We love this place. Great food, cold beers and delicious cocktails!
The onion ring and yuca fries appetizers were super crispy and delicious. We also enjoyed the passionfruit chili chicken wings and fish tacos. Beautiful and tasty mixed drinks.

Farmers' market
Jacó Farmers Market is a popular spot in Jacó, especially on Friday mornings from 7 am to 2 pm. It offers a wide variety of fresh produce, including fruits, vegetables, spices, jams, and hot sauces. Visitors can also find homemade bagels, baked goods, farm-fresh meats, cheeses, and chicken. Additionally, there are vendors selling freshly squeezed juices, plants, clothing items and local art. Some vendors are available on Thursday evenings as well.
Local Farmers market Thursdays 12-4pm & Fridays 8am-12pm
I went on Thursday at 12 noon, and I was hot. Plus, half the vendors hadn't even set up yet. I'd recommend going Friday morning, much cooler.
Very small but has everything you need. Used books, jams, fresh fruits, empanadas, sweets, pies, dried fruits, juices, fresh coconut waters, oils, soaps & more!
Free entrance, everyone was super nice!
Queen J — Google review
The Jacó Farmers Market was such a fun stop during our trip! There were stalls overflowing with fresh, colorful fruits—everything looked and tasted amazing. We also picked up a couple of souvenirs here for family members, and I’m glad we did because later we saw the exact same items elsewhere for double the price.
The market had a friendly, local vibe and was easy to walk through. It’s a great place to get a taste of Costa Rica’s produce and pick up reasonably priced gifts.
If you’re in Jacó on market day, I highly recommend visiting—come hungry, bring cash, and enjoy the fresh flavors and great deals.
It is smaller than I expected a lot smaller than Atenas. Most produce vendors are from distributors, but there are a couple of locally grown which is nice. There are sausage, juice and meat vendors for food choices. Also some craft booths with handmade trinkets.
What an amazing Farmers Market!! So fun and lots of vendors. We bought a lot of our food for our stay in Jaco from the market. I also bought a number of great books to read from Susie’s Used Books right at the entrance to the market. It’s definitely a must see in Jacó.
Greta place to get your weekly produce. Just remember to walk a round each first and get prices, some will be more expensive than others and some items are better to get at the más x menos because it’s cheaper. I also ate at the food stand of Graciela who served typical food from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 it was delicious 🤤 most vendors are there by Thursday 6 pm ish to Friday. There are a few vendors Thursday morning (including Graciela who also sells breakfast)
Friday morning is my favorite time in Jaco to go to the Farmer's Market to shop. 7- 2pm . Some of the vender are there Thurs evening as well. There is a wide variety of foods and other local products available. Fruits , Veggies, Spices , Jams , Jellies, Hot Sauces, Breads, pastries, Homemade Bagels from Eric , Dan the Meat Man has amazing Meats , Home Cheeses , Farm Fresh Chicken , Fresh Squeezed Juices, Plants , clothing and local art. Probably missed a few things ...but hey , go check it out and let me know!! Lol 🌺 Pura Vida 🌺
Great local market: small but has everything you need. Among standard veggies fruits cheese, some small nice treats like handmade cosmetics and gluten free / lactose free pastries.
This is a great place to get what you can get at Mas por Menos in town. Fresh veges and fruit that the regular grocery doesn't carry. Also, fresh orange juice squeezed right in front you. I pass by this place everyday on my way to the beach when I lived in Playa Jaco.
Go early to get the organics and because everything runs out fast. Great is you want to cook from scratch, things like spaghetti sauce because you can get tomatoes and everything you need in bulk, and for a little less than the regular stores.

Great hostel! The staff is amazing and the hostel is very clean. Perfect location its right in front of the beach where you can surf. I kept extending my stay here

Read carefully, don’t stay here. This place looks nice, but actually it’s terrible. It’s full of people who want to party and look cool. They play music loudly until 11pm as a rule, and don’t turn it down if asked to.
My shirt was stolen from the drying rack, then when I asked staff about it, they said they didn’t know, but then the shirt magically appeared 30 minutes later.
The kitchen is way too small for the amount of people here and always in use. The sink is clogged and full of food and dishes. The refrigerator is always warm, so your food goes bad.
The bathroom plumbing doesn’t work correctly.
The room AC is only on 9pm-7am, but they play music until 11pm, then everyone is in and out until midnight, so prepare to lose sleep.
Go somewhere else and pay a little more to be relaxed.
Another great stay at Room2Board. Brian and his stuff are simply amazing, friendly and very helpful. The bar is very nice, food and drinks are reasonably priced. Perfect location for surfing, walks to El Miro and to the center of the town. Will definitely come back.
Highly recommend staying here. Clean rooms and a great staff. Pool and bar area were a lot of fun. Took surfing lessons for the first time and the instructor had me surfing to shore in no time.
As a girl who’s had bad experiences in Jaco, I was very happy to find a place where I felt safe. I felt at ease here. It was safe, clean, quiet, and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Best hostel in town. Always find cool people hanging out from all over the world. Younger crowd. 18-35
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hostel, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality by the staff. The service was impeccable throughout my stay, with the team always going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed.
The atmosphere of the hostel was fantastic - it had a vibrant and welcoming vibe that made it easy to connect with fellow travelers. The common areas were cozy and inviting, perfect for socializing or simply relaxing after a day of exploring.
The location couldn't have been better. Situated in the heart of the city, it was within walking distance of all the major attractions and surrounded by great restaurants and bars. Plus, I felt extremely safe throughout my stay, thanks to the hostel's excellent security measures.
And let's not forget about the food! The hostel's restaurant served up delicious meals at affordable prices, making it easy to fuel up before heading out for the day.
Overall, I can't recommend this hostel enough. Whether you're a solo traveler or in a group, this place ticks all the boxes for a memorable and enjoyable stay. I'll definitely be returning on my next trip!
I booked the private ensuite, because I wanted my own bathroom. Unfortunately the shower didn't have any hot water so I ended up having to use the public bathroom anyway. When I told the staff about the hot water, they said they would look into it, but never did. I also emailed the owner about it after I left, but he never responded.
Location is unbeatable. You can watch the sun set into the ocean and hear the waves from the roofdeck. Staff is super friendly.
I found that a lot of people spend multiple weeks if not months here so it seemed like there were large established friend groups of the long haulers and then a few solo traveler stragglers on the side. I would not rank it in my top hostels to make friends. Bar and restaurant were nice but the place right next door has much better food.

I had ceviche. It comes with chips and it tastes sour. I also had mojito too. It was good timing because I saw sunset while having dinner. This place is good for couples and friends.
SM — Google review
To start, this place has a beautiful view of the ocean!! We saw people surf and walk along the shore, we experienced a dog take a swim in the swampy water off to the side of the restaurant. Great views!
So then, the food… the food is very well presented, but is not great. For me, it seemed quite overpriced and under-seasoned.
The Coconut Mahi-Mahi was solely the best part. The Patacones with meat were void of seasoning and difficult to eat. The mashed potatoes were not quite the right texture or consistency and the sliced corn was most likely cooked in the hot tub next door. The drinks were good, not exceptional. Total price ~$76 USD
This experience instilled in me a desire to return to one of the cheaper, less-try-hard soda shops around. If you’re looking for a luxury food experience, you may want to consider other options.
- Expectations 😃
- Reality 😞❌
El Point Jaco Beach has an unbeatable location right on the beach — the sunset view alone is worth stopping by. They also have a solid happy hour from 4–6pm, which is a nice bonus.
That said, the service was pretty slow, and there are a lot of dogs and cats roaming the area — one dog even urinated right next to an empty table, which was a little off-putting.
As for the food, it was hit or miss. The Caribbean Mix Seafood Soup didn’t have much seafood, and they didn’t provide claws to crack open the shells. The Caesar Salad’s chicken was extremely salty, and the tenderloin steak actually came out raw the first time, though they fixed it. On the bright side, the Caribbean chicken was tasty, and the smoothie was decent.
Overall, it’s worth visiting for the atmosphere and sunset, but I’d manage your food expectations.
I'm not a fan of seafood, but the tuna fish my wife got was simply good. My mother in law ordered pasta with shrimp and she said it was good. However, my risotto was average. The chicken was not tasty and the risotto itself was too liquid, its flavor was fine though.
Other than that, good service and great location.
We chose this restaurant for the views of the beach at sunset but were blown away by the delicious food and cocktails. We did not make a reservation and were able to walk right in for a table on the beach. They had happy hour specials as well as a full list of specialty cocktails. Everything we ordered was delicious. The food was also tasty. We had the nachos which were piled high with so many toppings you needed to ask for more chips to finish it. The coconut mahi mahi was spectacular as was the steak and the seafood sampler. You cannot go wrong with this restaurant, especially with the beach/sunset views.
El Point serves some delicious cocktails. The piña colada was amazing and the food was nice. The restaurant is in a nice location, right on the beach, so it’s a great place to come for sunset (but it’s quite busy at this time). Service is poor - despite there being 5-7 waiters behind the bar not doing anything, they leave you waiting for a while before coming over to help, even if you’re standing right at the bar!
Perfect spot for an evening meal and cocktails right on the Jaco beach. We were able to reserve a table for 6 using Whatsapp and it was waiting for us when we arrived. We got there to be able to watch the sunset and were even able to get some happy hour cocktails. Service was excellent and our food was great. Highly recommend!
The place is right next to the beach, so you got a beautiful view of the ocean and the sky. The service was okay, it was quite slow, but the restaurant was packed.
The food was amazing. The nachos were amazing, the portion was quite big and they were tasty. The patacones also came in quite a big portion and they tastes real nice as well. The fish tacos tasted good, but the portion was small, it consisted of only 2 medium tacos.

Costa Rica Waterfall Tours, located in Jaco Walk, offers an exhilarating experience amidst the lush mountains just outside of Jaco. The tour includes a hike through the breathtaking rainforest, opportunities to dive into the falls, and leisurely swims in pristine pools. With many hidden waterfalls and beautiful rivers in the area, a waterfall tour is an ideal way to explore these natural wonders. Professional guides provide detailed instructions for rappelling and share insights about jungle flora and fauna during the excursion.
Lamar was a fantastic guide! He is bright, articulate and has a genuine interest and love for the waterfall and surrounding nature. He also was a very kind and considerate guide who went out of his way to be sure that we were SAFE as some of the hiking up the mountain can be a bit involved. From the time he picked us up from our resort to the time he dropped us off he was the model of professionalism as a tour guide. He also has a unique sense of humor, is laid back and is the personification of Pura Vida. If there is a better adventure tour guide in Costa Rica than Lombar, we would be very surprised.

Amazing experience! The Extreme Canyoning tour is physically challenging but SO MUCH FUN! One of a kind experience and location. The location is very remote. Be prepared to get dirty and wet and have a blast doing it! The team did a great job of making this extremely dangerous adventure feel safe and secure. Wilson and Joaquin are extremely knowledgeable and confident in the entire course and every step was supervised and administered safely. We had seven teenagers and myself in our group and they managed to instruct us, keep us safe, and have a great time all at once. I highly recommend this tour!
Booked this during a family vacation (my wife and I and three kids, 9-16) and it was worth every penny and then some. Out guide, Joaquin, was friendly, informative and attentive, and made sure we all had an amazing time. We got picked up downtown Jacó and then took a minibus trip halfway up the mountain to a little gorgeous village where we had a delicious homemade lunch. Then into the "jungle limousine" (refitted Toyota Hilux with canopy seating in the bed) for the next leg of the trip - all the way up into the mountains, past some breathtaking scenery. Joaquin stopped to tell us about the local flora and fauna that we could see as we passed by (vanilla vines, a berry related to citronella, some scarlet macaws, toucans and even a poison dart frog!) and then helped us every step of the way down to the incredible waterfall pools where we spent the afternoon feeling utterly refreshed, then back up and back into town at the end of the day. An absolute highlight of our trip, and STRONGLY recommended if you're looking for a way to spend an afternoon experiencing what Costa Rica has to offer!
My daughters and I had a wonderful experience. Our hosts Lomar and Joaquin were fantastic. They were friendly and kept the jokes flowing. They were very knowledgeable about the local area, wildlife and eco system and shared their fascinating knowledge with us. They encouraged and coached my daughters through the rappelling and made us all feel comfortable. They were also patient with me as I hesitated jumping off the 30’ edge into the river below. What an amazing experience. I can’t exclude the wonderful meal we had back at base camp, a traditional meal of rice with chicken and plantain chips. It was delicious. I would recommend this experience in a heartbeat!!
We had such an amazing experience! Wilson and Joaquin were fabulous. We were a group of 14 with one as young as 5. They assisted us through the tour and helped our children jump from each location. The water is beautiful at all of the swimming holes even the cold water jacuzzi lol. They were kind, patient and encouraging through the morning hike. I would highly recommend this trip.
An absolute highlight of our trip to Jaco! The hike was challenging. a
A little steep and VERY slippery, but 100% worth it to experience the beauty of the waterfalls! What really put our experience over the top was our guide, Joaquin. I mean it when I say he is the kindest, warmest tour guide I have EVER had. He held my mom’s hand literally every step of the hike and took things at her pace. He was also so knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife and taught us all kinds of things along the way. A fun, thrilling and beautiful day that we will never forget.
Got to do the tour with Wilson. Enjoyed a typical CR breakfast courtesy of Shirley and her family. Then went up to the waterfalls. Wilson is funny and knowledgeable. The tour is beautiful! Highly recommend!
11/10 experience!!!
• The waterfalls spectacular! The water itself was a perfect temperature, and the waterfall felt like the best massage in the world.
• Our host, Wilson, was funny, knowledgeable about Costa Rican culture, history, and wildlife, and helpful throughout the entire experience to ensure we were safe and having a great time.
• The lunch before the short hike to the waterfalls was perfect energy for the guests

Restaurant
Tacobar JacoWalk is a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the vibrant culinary scene in Jaco. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant offers an enticing array of options that cater to all tastes, including several vegetarian delights like falafel and mushroom tacos. The generous portions and fresh ingredients make every meal satisfying. One of the highlights is their impressive salad and condiment bar, which complements dishes like fish and shrimp tacos perfectly.
Had a great experience at Taco Bar in Jacó! Our waitress, Sierra, was in training, but she did an excellent job—she was kind, helpful, and already knew the menu well. She gave us great recommendations on both drinks and food, which made our visit even better.
The atmosphere was fantastic—warm, inviting, and perfect for dining on the patio. For drinks, I had the Fresa Limonada, and my partner had the Mojito Kiwi Fresa—both were REALLY good, super refreshing, and full of flavor.
For food, I ordered the Fish and Chips, and they came out hot, fresh, and perfectly crispy. Everything was well-prepared and delicious.
Overall, the service, food, and drinks made for an amazing experience. I would definitely return here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jacó!

Fish soup was great! Seared tuna phenomenal. Burger was over salted. Strawberry lemonade was off the charts!! Venessa was an incredible server. Thank you for making our experience great!
Omg this place is phenomenally amazing, food was mouthwatering and delicious. Great portions and employees are amazingly friendly and welcoming. Vanessa was out of the world amazing, she helped me when I was speaking a little Spanish and very sweet. Definitely coming back soon especially when I make another trip to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!
One affordable and delicious find in jaco
I got the two tacos in my husband got the three tacos and they both come with the salad bar. You can choose difference proteins for each taco.
Nice ambience. They have these great swings that you can sit at at the counter unfortunately, we were unable to try them because it was raining and they were wet. We were quickly seated and a nice waitress told her that she’d be with us shortly. They were kind of slammed for a rainy day and two ladies working. Food comes out as it is made so we all received our dinner at different times. It took White a while for our drinks to arrive. All in all the food was good. Vanessa was a great waitress and was kind enough to allow me to substitute my country fries for sweet potato fries. If you happen to be in, it’s a nice place for lunch if you like Mexican food, my son loved his burrito
Tacos were good, so.m7ch choice here and also great customization options
It is a Quaint Restaurant. The tacos and salad bar was Excellent. The drinks were Delicious 😋
The tacos were OK. Their fish tacos aren't special. It took a while for food to arrive. Not sure why it has a high rating on google. The salad bar was a disappointment. Not great salad options or toppings to support the tacos. The crispy calamari was just that in a tortilla with nothing else. The lack of options at the salad bar was a disappointment.

Seidy and team made my experience even better, lovely staff and amazing food defo worth it.
This is me and my buddies go to dinner spot everyday on our trip to Jaco CR. I cannot find the words to say how enjoyable the meals were. Easy to order by pointing at the varied dishes prepared that day. No menu to fumble over. Price is reasonable for dinner - we paid about $13 per meal. And the drinks were also very good and varied with each visit. And refills are free. No ac but the room was airy and comfortable with fans
Food was awesome! So good that I made a happy place. Definitely would recommend.
A good soda. You go in and select your food from the buffet and they will fill up your plate to the bream. The food was decent and it came with a free soda refill as well. It was 6000 colons for one person including drinks. Recommend for an authentic experience!
Came here several times. The food is good. And the price is very reasonable. Didn’t understand why every single time they asked me if I was paying for 2 plates??? Clearly I was alone. Otherwise recommend for local, efficient soda.
Nice soda. Selection is a bit on the smaller side compared to others I've been and others in town. However the food was still really good. Goood gallo pinto and good chicken with tomato sauce and their braised beef brisket in mushroom gravy was really good. We'll braised, sft and tender meat. Good stuff. Wish they had soup on a daily though. Need to come back and ry their beef soup on a Monday
If you enjoy submersing yourself into local culture...You must eat where the locals eat! Cafeteria style ...no menu ...you point and they serve....I ate some foods I did not know what it would taste like until I ate it! A true culinary adventure.
Large portions ...Great price.

Bistro
Graffiti Restro Cafe & Wine Bar is a must-visit spot in Jaco, offering a diverse menu featuring sushi from the freshest catch of the day, locally sourced vegetarian dishes, and specialty items like coffee-rubbed beef tenderloins and tuna tartare. This bistro-style restaurant opens for dinner and serves fresh seafood, meats, and vegetarian options made from sustainable ingredients.
This place was exactly what I imagined. Very cool vibe. The service was fantastic. Sabrina, our server, was very pleasant and took her time to answer all our questions from the menu. The food was on point. We had the catch of the day, Mahi Mahi and tenderloin. Well prepared and seasoned. The sangria was absolutely delicious. Made with real fruit. I normally like red sangria but the white one was actually tastier. Also, the recommended cab from Chile was good. They do have certain bottles of wine open if you want to order a glass. This place is opened by an American. Don’t forget to tip here.

Steak salad is amazing. So tender and flavorful. The fish was the best my husband has had.
There was a musician in the courtyard outside of the restaurant was an added bonus!
Highly recommend if you’re in Jaco and want great food, fantastic staff, and a cozy yet stylish spot!
We absolutely loved dining at Graffiti Restro Café & Wine Bar! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, which set the tone for the whole evening. The drinks were delicious - expertly mixed and refreshing. But what really stood out was the food: fresh seafood and fish, prepared with care and flavor. The ambiance is lovely - relaxed but elegant, perfect for a memorable night out.
This restaurant is incredibly delicious! High notes were the cacao & coffee rubbed beef tenderloin, and try The Elvis for dessert! It is a crispy fried French toast pastry with bananas and peanut butter with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We tried it off of the recommendation of our wonderful server, Brie. She gave us some of the best service we had on our entire Costa Rica vacation. Try this place out, you won’t regret it!
Stopped by Jaco on our last night at CR and grabbed dinner at Graffiti Restaurant. Our waiter was super friendly and very welcoming. Restaurant itself and its surroundings is quite clean and inviting. We ordered the airplane chicken special, poke bowl, and chicken tenders. They offer a kid menu which is a plus. Our food came out fresh and delicious. Happy hour prices on drinks is a bargain. Only down side is they don’t have their own restroom. You’d have to use the restroom serving the plaza.
The menu is unique and the food is delicious. I recommend the beef tenderloin, the Cajun fries, and the fish tacos. We also had a bottle of Merlot which paired well with everything. Overall, the restaurant has a really nice vibe and located in a great area.
Ive visited this restaurant 3 times over the last few years and it never disappoints. This time however, was exceptionally good. We started with the tuna tar tar tower, a few Caribe-tinis and had Churrasco with mashed potaties and tempura veggies, and the pork ribs with grilled veggees and rice. We finished with the french toast banana dessert. Every bite was incredible and the textures and flavors make this place feel like a Michellin Star eatery. The decor and vibe is urban trendy and the staff projected the same chill energy. Caveat..it is one of the most expensive restaurants in Jaco, but the overall experience was well worth the price.
Loved it from the moment we walked in. There may not be a beach view, but it’s in the back of an adorable pedestrian courtyard and has really cool decor full of plants and paintings.
Service is attentive and friendly — exactly what you’d want.
Cocktails were delicious. We had at least 5 different ones, and each one was fantastic. The toasted cocktail rim on the coconut margarita was truly special. Great wine options too like the French rosé.
Loved the food as well. Candied pork belly appetizer is crispy and so prettily plated. Chicken stuffed with pear and Gouda and bacon is top notch. Mahi filet was tender and juicy. House salad is huge and really flavorful.

This was my favorite shop is Jaco. Such beautiful art and gift items from local artisans at reasonable prices. Nice to see items that you cannot find anywhere else! The shop keeper was also great, you could tell he was passionate about art, knowledgeable about the artists and the traditions, and wanted customers to just enjoy themselves. Definitely worth going to when your in Jaco.
This shop/art gallery has an incredible selection of art from local artisans. We have purchased many items because they are all unique and very representative of Costa Rica. Stewart, the owner, has gathered most of the best local artists pieces to help make your home here or away a more beautiful place.
Easily the most unique souvenir shop we stopped into. Tons of artists represented with their one -of-one creations available to take home. I felt like I was in a museum. The art was intoxicating.
We love the Tico Pod! This is one of our favorite places to shop and send our clients, the owner works directly with local craftsmen/women and indigenous communities supporting art, culture and local artists, they also host incredible workshops that showcase Costarican traditions, the Tico pod isn’t just an art house, it’s an experience!
My wife and I’s favorite shop in Costa Rica! They have a fantastic collection of items from Costa Rica and I always look forward to seeing what they have.
Gorgeous store, amazing art- probably my favorite within the 30 countries I’ve been to. Def go check it out.
If you want some quality souvenirs from your trip to Costa Rica, this is the place to visit. Expertly crafted artisan goods and artwork are available. We loved how colorful everything was. The shop was a feast for the eyes. Artwork is created by local Costa Rican artists and you can find gifts ranging in price from moderate to expensive. It is worth a visit even to browse because there are some unique pieces and we also learned some interesting things about Costa Rican culture.
Make sure to check out the Boruca masks upstairs, and ask the shopkeeper for more information. She is knowledgeable and friendly with lots of stories to share. There is a sign inside that says "no photos" so I kind of broke the rules, but it was just too fascinating to not want to capture the moment. I will only share a photo of the piece that I purchased out of respect for the artists. The handicrafts are too beautiful not to share and I hope that the "no photograph" policy is revisited because I only came to the shop because of the photos I saw online.

ATV rental service
ATV Backcountry Tours in Jaco, Costa Rica offers an exhilarating experience through muddy trails that wind up the mountains and cut through dense forests. The 3-hour tour begins with a beach ride, followed by weaving through trees to practice throttle and turning skills. Then, riders tackle more challenging terrain with hills and mountain paths that require attention to manage ruts and bumps.
We did the 3 hour tour today with Ramiro. Such a great experience. The waterfalls, the soda (restaurant) at the top of the mountain had amazing food and just riding through the rain forest soaking it all in! Highly recommend these guys if you are in Jaco!!!

If you are visiting Jaco and want to do an Atv tour, this hands down is the best one. My husband and I have been all around the country, we’ve done many different Atv tours, and this one is our favorite. I recommend booking the 4 hour one or full day. The route you drive is so fun and gorgeous, the lunch is delicious. And I love that this is a private tour, just you and the tour guide. Also, all of the guides and staff are so friendly and kind. We come to Jaco just to do this tour because it’s that good. Thank you so much to backcountry Atv, you’ve added more great memories for us! Pura Vida!
Absolutely amazing experience ! Our tour guide was Owen and he made us feel special right off the bat! We did the 3 hour waterfall tour which was amazinggg! Best thing I’ve done in Costa Rica! Owen took pictures and videos of us the entire way which was an awesome bonus! On the way back my bag opened up without me know and my car keys along with other things fell out and I didn’t realize until I got back to the place and Owen was the most humble sweetest human being ever and he went back to the waterfalls re tracking our steps and I said no way he was hon s find it , he returned with the car leys !! PURA VIDA! God is good ! Thank you so much for your hospitality and humbleness ! We will back to horse back ride next !
On our third day in Jaco Costa Rica my family and booked an ATV tour! We had the pleasure of having the BEST tour guide Robert to help us navigate, the trail, see amazing views, waterfalls, and just experiencing a safe fun and enjoyable ride! We loved it and highly recommend booking with ATV Backcountry! Make sure to ask for Robert! Pura Vida 🇨🇷
Our family did the 4 hour ATV experience and it was a blast! From the novice riders to the more experienced riders in our group, we were all made to feel safe and comfortable. Tony was our guide and he was awesome. The views along the way are breathtaking, the lunch provided was delicious, the waterfall experience was incredible and everyone was super professional and attentive. It was one of the coolest experiences we have had as a family and we definitely recommend!
The ride of a lifetime…… we booked the full day atv tour and our tour guide was Tony. He was amazing….. He grew up in the area and knew all the back roads and special places others would not know. We spent time riding in the beach, saw some macaws 🦜, then off to the mountains. We rode in a huge circle in the rainforest and mountains, stopping at a couple of waterfalls to swim and take pics. We stopped at a amazing soda up in the mountain overlooking a valley… the food was great, but the views.. wow
Tony was amazing, definitely 10/10 experience, he always made sure we were same, and stopped for any pictures or questions. Would definitely ask for him if you go. Our tour started at 9 and ended at 5, you definitely got your moneys worth…
Words of advice bring a ziplock bag or waterproof pack for stuff, and a raincoat…. Pura vida
The first two words that come to my mind when I think about this tour are breathtaking and unreal. Literally, the views are all unique and just wow! Joey was the best tour guide ever. He really enjoys guided the tour and you can see how passionate he is. He took the time to show us the farm and educate us about many things. I really enjoyed the fact that we did not only ride ATV's, but we also did SO much more. He took our group on one amazing and unforgettable journey in Costa Rica. We were able to see wildlife, jump from a rock into the ocean, explore private beaches, and way more. The tide was low so we were able to visit 3 caves, which was super cool! The four-wheelers are all in great shape and run smoothly. The farm was easy to find. I am so thankful we found Joey and this tour because it truly made our trip so much more worth it. The price was also better than fair! I highly recommend this tour to everyone in Costa Rica. IF you don't do it, you are missing out big time.
Backcountry ATV Tours was an unforgettable experience. The trip was about 3 hours maybe more of riding on the beach and in the jungle on a mountain. If the tide is right you get to jump in a tide pool and walk through a natural cave. We saw a sloth and a toucan and more! Joey, our guide, gave lots of information about the plants and wildlife and he offered to take pics and videos throughout the trip timing them at the right moments to catch spectacular footage. He truly loves what he does which made the experience amazing. His automatic ATVs are easily handled even if you have never driven one. He gives a practice mini lesson till you feel comfortable too. Just do it!

To be honest..i spent 30 days in Central America..he was the most amazing,respectful,honest person I ever knew..
Thank you bro ..i will wait you to visit me in Saudi Arabia 🤝
Soaring through the skies with breathtaking views, the paragliding tour was an exhilarating adventure from start to finish! The guides ensured a safe and enjoyable experience, while the scenery left us speechless! The customer service is beyond what we could have ever imagined. If you are ever contemplating doing this, I HIGHLY recommend it. Worth every penny.
Had such a fun experience! It was our first time paragliding and I was shocked how relaxing it was. View is incredible and we even saw a red macaw! The crew was super nice and all seemed to love the sport.
You meet them at this location on Google. Then once everyone has arrived, they drive you up in a car. They may need to wait until the wind is right. They then clip you in and you’re off! Super easy and highly recommend.
My boyfriend and I did the 1500 feet option. It was so beautiful and such a nice smooth ride. We both had a great time and agreed it’s was our favorite part of our trip so far and we are on day 8! Highly recommend! The staff was so nice as well as experienced. We also saw a toucan our first of the trip!
What a fun thing to do in Jaco. Those guys are professionals. They know what to do and make you feel very safe. I did the car take off flight - awesome. The view is spectacular. Well worth it !! Thank Katto team 👍
Wonderful paragliding experience with Ka'tto team! Experienced & professional - and some of the most sincere and kind people we have met! Gorgeous view to embrace natural beauty of an amazing area. Would definitely do again-highly recommend!

Thought this was papa John’s so I put a bad review. but this was the best pizza I had in jaco.. hands down! It was all my family’s favorite too. Don’t waste your time anywhere else and definitely don’t order delivery from papa John’s
My family absolutely loved the pizza. Excellent restaurant and very friendly staff.
Pizza was good. But the service not at the top.
Order pizza and drink . Guess what pizza coms first but drink after half pizza done.
Please work on it .
Expected it to be more touristy, and we are glad it wasn’t. Good prices, really good food, even my wife’s 88 year old mother enjoyed having her own individual pizza. Will be back!
Great pizza!!! Definitely a stop if you are in Jacò!! Price are very reasonable, atmosphere is good. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of options of pizzas to order, beer and soda. Great spot!!
Ate here a whole bunch of times...staff is super friendly and the pizza is amazing! Give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed! Thank you!!!

Start your day on a delicious note at Sunrise Breakfast Place, a charming eatery that radiates warmth and hospitality. This delightful spot is perfect for fueling up before you dive into the adventures that Jaco has in store. With an enticing menu boasting generous portions of fluffy pancakes, hearty omelets, decadent French toast, fresh fruit plates, crispy waffles, and satisfying surfer burritos, there's something to please every palate. The vibrant pink decor makes it easy to spot this gem as you stroll through town.
My friend and I were not in the mood to cook breakfast so we decided to hop in the golf cart and here for breakfast. I just add to have the banana pancakes and smoothies since it typically really warm down there. It was nice to meet the owner and listen to his story on how he ended up in Costa Rica. Note if you don't get to hear the story personal from him it's looked on the menu for you to read.

Delicious Gringo breakfast in Jaco
Don't get me wrong, living in Costa Rica, we have grown accustomed to Tico breakfasts of gallo pinto and eggs. But there is a restaurant in Jaco with a breakfast menu consisting of comfort foods from home in the States. Pancakes, omelets, toast with homemade jam, delicious potatoes and a pot of coffee, not just one cup. This has become a favorite of ours if we are in the Jaco area. My husband always wants to stop at the pink Sunset Breakfast Place to get his fix. Give it a try if you are in Jaco! Life is good in Costa Rica. Pura vida
Best Breakfast in in Jacó!
What a great service!
We enjoyed very much these Breakfast at SUNRISE BREAKFAST PLEACE
Great place to share with friends and family
Hit the Sunrise Breakfast place for our first day in Jaco for some breakfast as a group of 6. They were very nice to ask another group to move to another table to make room for us. The menu had lots of options we liked and after ordering we waited quite a while for our food and didn't all come out at the same, but that's life down here. We all enjoyed our food and speaking with the owners who were also from the U.S. Nice easy place right on the main road. We may be back.
One of the first places we had breakfast when we moved here. Nice food and service and great customers. My biggest complaint is I don’t like whole wheat toast … but, I wasn’t complaining. Overall, it was a good breakfast. I’ve since been back for their pizza. Stick with the breakfast.
We dined here for our first breakfast in Jaco during our seven day stay. The food was ok and service was a bit slow. This is a very local breakfast experience which we wanted to try. We did experience heavy rain that morning and though the rain was wetting parts of our seating area, no one made an attempt to or suggested moving the large bench style table. We eventually got up and moved it ourselves. We had some mixed feedback from the five diners but given the slowness in service and the fact that the potatoes are deep fried, it’s not somewhere I will revisit. There’s much improvement needed with the facility and service.
The best banana pancakes known to man! If you are looking for a real breakfast, don't miss this spot for a quick quality meal with great service and good food. We will definitely return for those pancakes!
They charged me more than the price shown on the menu when it was time to pay the bill. The waitress excused herself by saying that the menu she gave me didn’t have the updated prices. Also, the food wasn’t good—there are better places out there. I paid 100 euros for 2 pizzas, 4 hot dogs, and 3 beers.

Sushi restaurant
Tsunami Sushi is a popular dining spot in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica, known for its casual beach atmosphere and delicious cuts of meat and fresh seafood. Originating from Huntington Beach, California, this restaurant offers Californian-style sushi rolls that are a hit with visitors. On Wednesdays and Fridays, guests can enjoy half-price rolls at Tsunami Sushi.
The best sushi I've had in awhile. Well I do understand with Costa Rica's climate, warm Sushi is often not available. My Sushi needs to be cold! We had some tuna Sashimi also and it was very good.

Went here for dinner our first night in Jaco, Costa Rica. Recommend it because of the half off sushi rolls Wednesday & Friday all day. Mon-thur 11-4:30pm half off sushi rolls
Ordered Sapporo, warm Sake, Ramen, Spicy Tuna & Lobster roll
Sapporo : 3.5/5 it was good for the sushi and glad they had it
Warm Sake: 2.5/5 it was okay got the job done I had to wash it down with Sapporo
Ramen: 2/5 the broth and ramen could of been better and the egg was a disappointment and the beef wasn’t memorable
Spicy Tuna Roll: 3.5/5 not bad
Lobster Roll: 3/5 it was okay
Overall a 3 on the food and service and atmosphere was good
Tsunami Sushi in Jaco Beach is hands down the best sushi I've ever had! I've dined in top restaurants worldwide, but Chef Mario's artistry in the kitchen sets this place apart. Each dish is a beautiful presentation of fresh ingredients, with incredible flavors that truly delight the palate.
The specialty rolls are a must-try, showcasing his innovative combinations. The atmosphere is inviting, and the service is top-notch, with attentive staff ready to offer great recommendations.
If you're in Jaco Beach, don’t miss Tsunami Sushi. It's a culinary experience that will leave you craving more!
This place was actually quite unique. It’s a bit different from your typical traditional sushi spot, but being in Costa Rica, you can tell they’ve added their own local fusion twist. It’s hard for me to label it a full five stars since I’ve been to Japan and tried some of the most exceptional sushi, but I honestly don’t have many complaints. The service was fairly quick, and I especially enjoyed the seafood trio with their signature mango sauce — that one really stood out. I’d definitely return to try more from their menu.
This is a must for Jaco! They accommodated gluten free very well, the waiter checked with the kitchen and came back to me with options for accommodations. The best sushi I have ever had, and reasonably priced as well.
Yummy sushi in Jaco! Great location, safe parking, lots of deals on rolls, and great servive.
I have been coming here for years and unfortunately, I came tonight and had the Worst experience of my entire life. My wife felt completely uncomfortable with Sebastion as our waiter And I 100% agree with her. When we came into sit down, he didn’t say a word to us To show he doesn’t have any personality at all….we ordered our drinks and he would not get them hovering over the table so we proceeded to try to order our sushi rolls and he literally would not leave we had to tell him that’s it please put our order in. Now me being a male, I usually don’t feel that uncomfortable, but this guy should not be working for a restaurant and if he was working for me, he would be gone after tonight. We were gonna come back tomorrow, but there’s no chance.
Love the atmosphere, very inviting and authentic. Went twice and the service was good, quality of food excellent one time and great the other. Tuna app is unbelievable! The variety of rolls is impressive but wish they had more authentic or complimentary sauces for these rolls. Fresh and quality but could go the extra step to truly make the experience exceptional.

Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Downtown Jaco, Zona K is a culinary gem that artfully blends Latin, Asian, and Continental flavors into an unforgettable dining experience. This charming gourmet restaurant prides itself on using fresh, local ingredients to craft dishes that are both innovative and delicious. Whether you're starting your day with a hearty omelet or indulging in steak or tacos for lunch or dinner, each meal promises to delight your taste buds.
This is a review for both Zona K and Kenia’s private catering service.
Booking the dinner was very easy. Nicole was very helpful and communicative!
For the private dinner, Moises and Patricia did such a great job. From the moment they arrived until they left, we didn’t have to lift a finger. The surf and turf was incredible. They were both so personable and everything was delicious.
Another night during our trip, we visited Zona K. This is Kenia’s brick and mortar restaurant in downtown Jaco. Again, the food was amazing. The lobster and shrimp pasta was the highlight.
We will definitely be back to Zona K, and will have to set up a private dinner again. Thank you!

The cashew chicken was delicious, but a little saltier than I like. Nicely plated. Service was friendly and fast. I had some sangria which was also very tasty. Restaurant is nice and bright and cool.
The restaurant modern, sophisticated and had a great vibe. The food was great and the staff were exceptional. Highly recommend!
Good was amazing and very fast service. I had the poached eggs and they were great.
First time dining at Zona K today. Can't believe it took me so long to try it - OMG it was so good,!!! I had tenderloin salad (medium rare steak cooked to perfection). Great wine list, great service, great atmosphere, amazing meal. I'll be back!
Great place for a solo diner. I met another two friendly locals there. The breakfast was delicious and the mimosa set me off for the rest of the afternoon. It has ac so it’s comfortable being inside. And the service was amazing as well!
Went here three times in 2 days. Great brunch and solid dinner spot. Air condition a plus and service was great.
This was one of my favorite meals to date. Like in my existence. Everything was perfected. I cannot wait to get back here and try everything on the menu. Beautifully done restaurant with amazing staff. I loved this dinner experience! Thank you guys.

If you're seeking a tranquil and enchanting experience in Costa Rica, look no further than Royal Butterflies. This delightful sanctuary offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the captivating world of butterflies, showcasing various species amidst lush fruit trees. The owner, Dan, is incredibly welcoming and provides insightful tours that include fascinating details about the butterfly life cycle—right down to witnessing a cocooning process! Families will appreciate the friendly atmosphere created by Dan's parents as well.
Beautiful spot with a nice little hike around the area with a river. The butterfly exhibit is very peaceful. We air bnb the treehouse which gave us a wonderful experience being nestled up in the trees. What great nature feels this place has. Not to mention the host and his family were very kind with a lot of knowledge about the area and Costa Rica. Defiantly a great spot for family's and friends !

We had a great time at the butterfly sanctuary! Dan speaks many languages and is very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and taught us a lot of interesting things. We also had time for ourselves to take in the experience and take some pictures!
Dan is super knowledgeable and we had a great time learning about the butterfly habitat and exotic plants. Definitely worth a stop! The grounds are beautiful and he also built an incredible Airbnb "treehouse". Thank you so much for a great tour!
Dan is very informative and interesting. We’ve been to a few butterfly worlds and Dan is the best of guides. This his dream on a one person scale. We love being able to support his passion and help butterfly populations recover.
We are here during very heavy rains which is tough on the butterfly population. The journey is worth doing.
Great experience! Learned so much. Thank you Dan, and bravo! Keep up the good work!
We had an awesome tour, and there were a lot of butterflies to see. The guide knew a lot how to grow butterflies
We had a really good time at the butterfly garden. It was a really good experience. Dan was such a great guy really took the time to show us everything there was to see. And you can tell he really does it all with much love for the butterflies. A great stop to enjoy and learn alot.
Beautiful garden with butterflies and lots of flowers around. Very nice guided tour with lots of information by the owner.

I would give this more than 5 starts if I could.
To find this adventure go to AirBnB and search for activities to do in Jaco. This hike comes up under the title: Hike ten waterfalls with locals. Emanuel is the host.
This hike was beautiful. Coco was our guide as well as Lucy his dog and 7 other rescue dogs. Lucy hiked with us for the entire adventure while the other dogs joined and left as they pleased. Their purpose is to scare away snakes and pumas.
Coco was very knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as plants. He pointed out poisonous frogs, cocoa trees, banana trees, plants that taste like licorice and citrus, different types of lizards and birds. He led us to different waterfalls that became more beautiful as the hike went on. He brought us snacks for different stops along the way and specifically made sure to get a snack that was only available during the season we visited.
It is a bit challenging at points as you use ropes to help pull yourself up the hillside and there are not railings other than where there are stairs. I wore hiking sandals, another person wore hiking shoes, and another sneakers. Just make sure you have something you are okay with getting wet and has good traction. Bug spray was not needed. We did swim in the pool and jump from different places so be prepared to get wet!
Highly suggested as it was a personalized trip! And if you get Coco.....ask him about the dinosaurs :)

This tour was one not to be missed while in Jaco! I had a top 10 life experience on this hike with Emanuel, in the rainforest, to the MANY waterfalls - beauty and power of these waterfalls took my breath away! Emanuel is so knowledgeable and we learned much about Costa Rica as well as the many types of flora and fauna found in this region. We also spotted a few different types of frogs (don't lick them!), spiders, ants, and birds. Emanuel is passionate about nature and Costa Rica, so if you want to learn more about either or both, I'd highly recommend this hike! You will definitely get wet and this is certainly for folks who are active and moderately coordinated, though Emanuel will keep you safe along the way. Thanks so much, Emanuel!
Best experience ever. Emanuel was super sweet and kind. He even recommended a few places for us to visit. I definitely will book a few more tours with next time I’m in Costa Rica.
Emanuel is awesome. He is responsible, creative, and very knowledgeable about area, flora, and fauna and history of Costa Rica. We just finished 15 day long adventure through jungles and mountains from coast to coast and dreaming to come back next year to explore other areas of country.
Thank you Emanuel for amazing experience.
All the best to you!
Emanuel is the best guide! Very knowledgeable and made the waterfall tour fun! Learned a lot about native plants, fruits and animals. We would recommend this tour to anyone. We truly had an experience that we will not forget!
This tour is a MUST do, I am from Costa Rica & this is by far my favorite adventure, I already did it twice & keeps getting better!!
Emanuel is incredibly knowledgeable about plants, animals & about Costa Rica in general, he is very passionate about it & makes this an unique experience, he has awesome goodies & don’t want to say much so you get to live everything He has for you !!
Also he is excellent at surfing & he offers classes. Make it a combo !!
I cannot recommend enough Emanuel’s tour, let the fun begin !! Believe me… you will not regret it.
Emanuel was an amazing guide. He brought us snacks and drinks and was so attentive to our safety. He made it an educational hike, which we loved. He knew so much about nature, the country, history, the land and the best trails to take. He can take you anywhere in the country. I will definitely use him again if ever I return. Very highly recommended .
Emanuel’s waterfall tour was by far my favorite activity I did while visiting Costa Rica. He was incredibly knowledgeable (I love the silver fern tattoo!), it was a peaceful/serene forest & it’s nice that there are many options for all fitness levels in the waterfalls. The guides even helped carry everyone’s packs to keep everything safe & dry. Extra bonus for all of the cute dogs who trekked along with us! I might even do this tour a second time when my friend comes to visit. Pura Vida!

Meghan E — Google review
We stayed in Jaco and booked a small boat nearshore fishing charter that picks you up at this beach and drops you back off. The fishing trip was fine but when we were dropped off in the evening, we were concerned for our safety and didn't see any police patrols. I've lived in six countries and visited 24 others. It's not a place for a non-citizen senior couple to be in the evening.
Dirty beach with lots of rocks and debris, but the sunset was pretty good to watch from here.
Unfortunately a rather dirty beach. But if you're lucky, you can see some macaws.
I saw whales jumping here to my surprise.
The beach is literally trashed with plastic pieces everywhere I could’ve cried, and I decided it is coming from nearby river/s. Beaches seem cleaner as you go south.
Nice view
Good beach, but there is lot of rocks and a bit of rubbish
Not very clean

Waterfalls
Bijagual Waterfall CR is a hidden gem that offers an invigorating hiking experience away from the usual tourist trails. The trek to the waterfall takes about an hour, but be prepared for a challenging descent and an even tougher climb back up, which requires a decent level of fitness. Along the way, you'll encounter stunning views and two natural pools perfect for cooling off after your hike. It's advisable to start early in the day as temperatures can rise quickly, making the trail more demanding.
Beautiful trail hike to the Bijagual waterfall and nearby natural pools. About 4k of the hike was on a dirt road suitable for hiking, ATV tours and horseback riding. To get to the falls, you had to go an additional 900 meters (and 600’ vertically) down and back up a single track trail. We enjoyed cooling off in nearby pools with additional smaller falls. Bring plenty of water! Highly recommended.
Hanlonmj — Google review
Our Bijagual Waterfall tour was nothing short of magical. From the moment we mounted our horses—Zorro, Pinto, and Raton—we felt a deep connection to these gentle giants. Dennis, our guide, was absolutely fabulous. He guided my two friends and me with care and humor, ensuring we were safe and informed the entire time. His expertise in horseback riding and his genuine love for the animals shone through every moment—our horses were calm, responsive, and unlike any I’ve ridden before.
The ride took us across lush rainforest trails and through a cool river crossings. When we dismounted and hiked the final stretch, the sight of Bijagual Waterfall—towering nearly 600 feet of pure, cascading power—left us breathless.
After the hike we returned to our horses and took a short ride where we cooled off in crystal-clear pools, surrounded by serene jungle ambiance, making the hot climb worth every step .
What made this experience truly unforgettable was the connection fostered by Dennis. His gentle rapport with the horses and the way he explained their temperaments and care made us feel part of something meaningful. The whole adventure felt intimate and authentic. My friends and I left with exhilarated hearts, full of gratitude, and a longing to return.
If you're looking for a blend of adventure, nature, and heartwarming interaction, Bijagual with Dennis is a must. I recommend it 100%.
I hike often in the US and found this trail moderately difficult. Going down was easy, coming back up was a bit more challenging, but only on my breathing.
I had an amazing experience at the Bijagual Waterfall tour with Enrique as our guide. The hike was adventurous and came with breathtaking views all along the way. Enrique was very knowledgeable and informative, sharing insights about the area and making the journey even more enjoyable.
Be prepared though the hike is quite exhausting, so make sure to bring plenty of water! I opted for the meal package, which was absolutely delicious and well worth it after the trek. The natural pool at the base of the waterfall was incredibly refreshing and the perfect way to end the hike.
Overall, it was a challenging but unforgettable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for adventure and stunning scenery in Costa Rica!
The horseback riding was great, our guides were nice and one of our kid were having a hard time hiking down and up to the waterfall and our guides were so being patient with us and wait until she is ready to continue her hike. The horses were great and they are very smart
We had a great time on the trail. Spectacular views of the waterfall where we encountered rain forest birds, frogs, snakes and other local animals in their natural habitat. Relaxing in the natural pools was perfect after hiking the moderate trail.
Bijagual Waterfall sits on a private reserve. Expect 3 hours for the hike on a road-like trail that crosses the river to the waterfall trailhead. The narrow and steep waterfall trail is a series of switchbacks with rope rails. As you wind through the mountainside jungle, keep your eyes peeled for dart frogs, millipedes, lizards, birds, and other wildlife that surround. Along with the buzz of the jungle, the roar of the waterfall grows louder as you descend down the trail. The hike, while not easy, is rewarded with the magnificent Bijagual Waterfall. The climb out is where the difficulty really weighs in; there are a few steep steps where the rope rails were useful to literally climb up . Our group of 5 range in age from 17 to 56 in fairly good physical condition, and we all rate this hike as difficult. Due to the difficulty of the hike, I can only guess that few get lay their eyes on Bijagual, and we are happy to count ourselves among the few.
Not for the weak hearted! Make sure you wear comfortable shoes that might be disposable. The place is gorgeous, the guy was friendly, the place was beautiful!
Great Experience with Alexander and his team! We got lucky and were able to book an afternoon Horseback Tour the morning of our desired day. Very responsive and good communication.
The foot trail is best suited for those with some hiking experience, but can be done by those without if you have the right amount of patience and water! The pools were very refreshing after hiking to see the amazing waterfall. We jumped in several times and the cool water was very refreshing!
Horseback was our preference as the trail getting to the waterfall foot trail is lengthy and could be tiring for some on the hotter days. We had 2 adults and one 10 year old (his first time on a horse) and had no trouble. Our guide was very helpful, patient and accommodating to all skill levels.
The horses were good-mannered, knew the trails and seemed to be well cared for by the owners. This was one of our favorite experiences of our trip!

Very beautiful hike with lots of nature. On the way down we saw scarlet macaws and some sort of small ground bird. We also so beautiful black-and-green poison dart frogs and very large millipedes! The waterfall was so beautiful. Be prepared to sweat and get muddy and sprayed by water as you get close to the waterfall. You must have cash to enter the hike.

Went on a Monday had the whole trail/ waterfall to myself! Was an amazing experience. It did end up raining really hard mid hike and one of the guys came out on a ATV to rescue me!! The sweetest people ever work here! Only $20 per person def worth it the view is amazing hike a little difficult if it’s wet out.

Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfall is a hidden gem that offers an enchanting experience for nature lovers. Nestled in lush surroundings, this garden boasts breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and a stunning waterfall. Visitors can marvel at the diverse array of plants and trees while spotting vibrant wildlife like macaws, toucans, and parrots. The welcoming owner and attentive staff enhance the visit, making it feel personal rather than touristy.
Took a spontaneous drive to Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfall and it was so beautiful! The drive up was steep, but safe. Road is paved, but there are some narrow parts and steep drops, so best to be aware of surroundings and other cars/motorcycles when making the drive. We pulled in on a Friday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. We were charged $10/each for 4 to walk the grounds. There are a few paved paths to explore the gardens and an overlook to the waterfall. You aren't close to the big waterfall, but it is still very pretty to see. After walking to the waterfall overlook, we walked the stone paths around the property and soaked in the amazing sights and sounds of the rainforest. Some pathways are steep, so take good walking shoes. One of the workers told us there are monkeys and sometimes scarlet macaws and sloths. While we didn't see any, we heard howler monkeys and captured some amazing pictures of flora and scenery. It's clear they work very hard to maintain the gardens here.
Heather — Google review
It was ok. We couldn't get down to the garden due to the path was so steep and slippery.
Went during the holiday, so traffic was horrible. It took us twice the amount of time to travel there. Once there the scenery was fabulous, just amazingly breathtaking. We had dinner. Watch the sunset It was an open bar. because we arrived late we were given the opportunity to come back to see the garden as a courtesy. Hospitality was amusing, a little bit of comedy and quite a learning experience for a few people.
Waste of time and money, avoid this place. I understand the landscaping needs to be turned over depending on the time of the year-I’d expect the people running this to be understanding as well, and not charge if there’s nothing to see other than the view seen from every other place on this road. Place was deserted, as images depict. Restaurant was closed, place was empty, viewpoint was eaten by termites and unstable-the other path overgrown and missing stairs (yet not blocked off, odd-yet makes sense considering the state everything else was in). I asked for my money back and the woman at the door did not oblige. Until the owners send me photographic proof they have invested in the property I’ll leave this review up.
I was surprised when I passed another person on way in that said the place ‘used to be nice, however they have really let the place go and it’s kinda sad’. I thought he was being dramatic since I had read several other recent reviews-until I took a walk and wasted my time, see images, it was more depressing in person (considering I invested $20/pp too take the self guided walking tour). I would consider going for free if I lived here and there was no charge…but to pay for this? Unreal!
The word beautiful isn't enough. The garden is awesome! Then, there is the platform where you can view the waterfall and a spectacular view all the way to the ocean. Just stunning! You are still pretty far from the waterfall. You aren't playing in the water. We were greeted by some wonderful staff and the owner. It caters mostly to tour groups, but you can go there on your own too. It's $20 usd to get in. When you see what kind of work would go into maintaining the property, you will understand why it costs some money. Totally worth it in my opinion!
This a truly a wonderful garden with a delightful owner and helpful staff. Fabulous views and interesting trees and plants. As for the birds there were macaws Nesting in the garden and sitting in the trees. The view from the little restaurant was magnificent. You could see right across to the Pacific ocean and the waterfall in front. Well worth a visit on your way to the airport from Manuel Antonio.
Not touristy at all.
We were here on an excursion from our cruise (Oceania’s Vista). The countryside and flowers are incredible! Mr. Stannard and his wife have done an amazing job with the grounds. After our trek through the gardens, we had a very nice lunch and time to visit with the owners.
Gorgeous place, variety of animals and waterfalls. Frog tour at night with Michael was amazing. His pictures could be in a magazine. Tucan feeding and sloth feeding as well. Amazing experience for the family.

If you're looking for a lively dining experience, "The Hook Up" is the place to be! Nestled on the second level with stunning views of the marina, this American-style bar and restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features delicious options like their seafood sampler, which includes grilled octopus and jumbo shrimp, as well as mouthwatering tacos and fajitas that are sure to impress.
The food was delicious! Our group got a range of items but the tacos and fajitas were to die for. Service was spot on and the atmosphere was great. The view was beautiful as well!

Unfortunately this restaurant has lost some of its luster. The food was uninviting, tasteless, and cheaply presented for the location and price. I have been a regular customer up until now.
It’s a typical American style bar, to make Americans feel comfortable. And to eat a burger and house salad will set you back at least $28. If you want authentic Costa Rica, this ain’t it. But, it is a fun place and, I’ll say it again, a fantastic hamburger
We ate dinner here last week and the food was good, service was great, view of the marina was great. The restaurant is up on the 2nd level. There’s a bar which was busy, and a dozen tables many overlooking the marina. Several tables had kids eating kid stuff but we dined well. American prices.
We ordered 3 tacos and ceviche along with 2 drinks each and finally 2 shots of tequila. My 2 mezcalitas were $30 each, my wife's mezcal cocktails were $20 each and the shots were, $20 each. That's $140 for 4 cocktails and 2 shots for those of you keeping score. The entire bill was $225. Please do not go here. It is a complete rip off. These cocktails were more expensive than NYC. Bartender acted like a $30 cocktail was completely normal. Food was just ok....but extremely costly Never again!
Went there for dinner. Server was very friendly and helped us in picking up items. Highly recommend their seafood sampler that comes with grilled octopus, jumbo shrimps and grilled bass.Bit pricey but worth it.
Great place for having a casual lunch, dinner or snacks. Great and friendly attention and amazing set of TV's so you can watch your favorite sport. Recommended
Lost a star due to being"nickle and dimed"!
$2.30 for BBQ sauce. Really!
Prices are high enough not to do that.

If you are looking for a delicious and reasonably priced Costa Rican food this is the place to go! They have a wide variety of set dinners that look really good so I would recommend trying them out. Just be aware that they do not provide any English translations of the menu, so if you don't speak Spanish it may be difficult to order correctly!
The most authentic restaurant I experienced in Costa Rica. The staff was extremely friendly and all had that motherly cooking love. Enjoy fresh food served by locals for locals. Just blend in. First place I ate and, on drive back from Uvita this was my last place too!! The atún was simply amazing!!

Service was really bad. Food was OK but they definitely charge Gringo prices. 4500 for Gallo pinto and eggs. Waaaay to much. I used to come here all the time but as a white person when you don't see prices posted be prepared for the Gringo tax. I won't go back. Rústicos is much better and more affordable. Soda Garabito is as good and the same breakfast is 3000. Costa Rica is already too expensive without being charged extra... And I've been coming to Jacó for 30 years. So bye bye Marea Baja. I hope you are happy losing business
The simpler was nice and relaxing. It wasn't too loud even at the bar. I had the teriyaki chicken. It was good, crispy, tasty, not overwhelming 9/10. It can't with veggies, extra sauce, hot sauce on the side, and chips. Two thumbs up.
You can get a dish for 5,000colones, the food is nice and they have different options. There is a salad bar, and with your dish you get refill.
I'm an American, I must say this first. It's a nice and clean place they have serve your own juices, I didn't care for them just not my taste. We had to go plates. They serve you rice, your choice there are two to choose from. Then different kind of meats you can choose from and a stuffed tomato that was good. There is a good amount of choice and amount you get for the money. I would not come here again because it was kind of bland but filling and quick on a budget.
A must stop if you're driving you highway 34. Our driver recommended that place for lunch (on the way from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio). Our criteria was - fast, cheap, local and good quality. This place fit the bill nicely. We went for buffet - you choose your meat and sides, and you can go several times for the salad bar, fruits and soft drinks. The place was packed with locals. I loved their seafood choices (shrimp and fish). Highly recommend to stop there.
Over priced poor quality food. Proper food.handling is suspect. Positive is you don't have to wait if you are in a rush. Negative is Food is over salted one plate is 4600 crc.
Reasonable prices as with most of these local sodas. Great food no fuss.

Rancho Shadday is a hidden gem located about 15-18 minutes up a dirt road from Jaco. The owner, Dona, provides an authentic Costa Rican experience with delicious meals cooked on a wood-burning stove. The sunset views are described as magical and breathtaking, making it an unforgettable experience. Visitors praise the food, particularly the empanadas and fresh pressed pineapple smoothies.
Amazing experience and worth the adventure getting to. I drove in from the south and my SUV only had front wheel drive but fortunately it was dry and hadn’t rained yet. I would not attempt the drive in a lightweight vehicle or without AWD if it’s raining. You’ll probably end up stuck. The food was incredible, the service was quick and kind and the views were majestic.

My friend and I were on a ATV tour and our tour guide took us here for lunch. This place did not disappoint. The food, service and view of the mountains is superb! I can’t wait to come back!!!! I had an empanada mixed with chicken, cheese and beans. That was the best empanada I ever had!!!!!!
Yes it is an out of the way place but on top of the world with a great owner, cook, and Wood fired cooking that is down to earth real tico food. Catching the views during the rainy season can be tricky but the experience is so worth it, if the views don't pan out on your first attempt. You will go back up the hill again once you meet Senora Marta and her food. She does not speak much English but she smiles in every language. If you have a bilingual friend have them ask Ms Marta how she ended up at this location with her restaurant.
This was the most authentic meal! This was absolutely amazing and so beautiful. We used Piko Travel and he suggested we eat here and it was spot on. Family owned small business and they cook with fire right in front of you. The scenery was incredible, this adorable rustic restaurant was on the very top of the mountain. Loved it!! Best food anywhere!
Our group saw Rancho Shadday on YouTube. Great views, lovely people, and delicious food! It's a little bit of an adventure getting there from Jaco, but well worth it! Empanadas not pictured but they were very delicious as well!
¡Que Bueno!
WARNING - if you're driving from Jaco, dont take the shorter path. The drive is dangerous. You need a good SUV, dirt bike or a truck to make it up there. If you take the drive on the short path just dont turn back. Going down would be worse. Google maps will try to take you this way because its shorter. You can first drive to a town called Lagunillas and then have google maps direct to Rancho Shadday. Drive from Jaco will take about an hour but its much safer. Now overall the food is great. Fresh taste, best empanadas iv ever had. And the view is great. A must visit place
What an experience this place was. Amazing food, views , service, the owner comes and talks with everyone, outdoor old school open kitchen. Best food while in Costa Rica and they even make margaritas. The best I had while in Costa Rica and I drank more than I
Would like to admit. So I would consider myself an expert. 🤣 Recommended by Jason and Cathy sloth life house. Spot on !!
Such a beautiful spot to grab lunch. Their servers were so kind. Had a watermelon smoothie that was so refreshing. All of my friends loved their Pina Coladas as well.

During a day tour, Vista Mar restaurant provided visitors the chance to savor a traditional Costa Rican dish of their choice: steak, chicken, or fish. The portions were generous and the flavors truly delightful. The staff was friendly and accommodating while offering a decent view of the ocean across the street. With delicious cuisine, exceptional service, ample parking space, and picturesque scenery, this establishment undoubtedly ranks as one of Costa Rica's finest dining destinations.
Grilled sea bass was outstanding. Fresh and well prepared. Very kind and helpful servers. Just the right amount of attention. Not too much. Finished up and caught a lovely sunset across the street at the beach.

We had lunch here in this open to the outdoors restaurant. Warm breeze coming off the Pacific. You can walk through a tunnel under the highway to go to the beautiful beach.
Great typical Costarrican sea food from the Pacific Coast, starting by ceviche (not Peruvian but "tico") and delicious rices and pasta with shrlmps and/or other sea food. They also offer other elaborations like tuna filet, besides beef and chicken. The attention is awsome, very quick, kind and efficient. The atmosphere is relaxed and they offer an 'underground' passageway (crossing over the highway) to access the beach and take a last look before heading back to the city. For sure, not the last time we will visit them!
$$$$ but delicious. Beautiful ocean views, fresh seafood entree options, and quick service.
Great food, had shrimp cured in lemon juice as an appetizer, very tasty. Our local driver, Alban, suggested some fried plantain patty with beans, guacamole, and pica sauce to top the patty with, those were almost an entire meal by themselves and very good and we only had a half order. You can see the ocean but the main highway is right there also so it can get very noisy if there is much traffic. Great service from friends of Alban's, and the owner came by too. Very friendly folks here and they can cook. It was about $20 US, per person ordering mainly appetizers, only one of us got a large seafood soup, get the soup with the cream base, it was very good.
Nice restaurant with great service. I had the snapper,spinach with shrimp and cheese in a white sauce. It was served with vegetables and some white rice. The serving size was large, and the food was very tasty. My server was extremely attentive and pleasant. The restaurant is located across the street from the beach, and there is an underground tunnel leading to the beach.
Just in case you dont want to ctoss the street. I would visit here again.
Was here as part of a day tour.
They offered a traditional Costa Rican dish inwhich you got to choose steak/ chicken/ Fish.
Decent portion and extremely great tasting.
Very fresh
Staff was friendly and had an okay view of the ocean across the street
This was my favorite meal in Costa Rica. I shared the seafood platter with a friend. It was absolutely excellent! So fresh and delicious! Lobster, Manila clams, razor clams, fish, squid, and shrimp in a garlic butter sauce. We also shared the mixed seafood ceviche not knowing how large the portions are. The ceviche was also delicious and fresh, but it wasn't the best ceviche I had during my week in C.R. I would certainly recommend this place and definitely recommend the seafood platter, as it was excellent!! I would also recommend to arrive very hungry as the portions are very generous. I found the service to be very prompt, attentive, and friendly. I enjoyed the open beachy vibe and large wooden tables as well. It's a nice casual atmosphere with excellent seafood. It was a little pricey but worth it.
