We arrived late at night, after check-in but were greeted immediately, very grateful we didn't have to sleep in our car. We only booked for 1 night but were pleasantly surprised how nice the property & beachfront were.

The music from the bar is so loud it can be heard in the rooms and the beautiful patio can’t be enjoyed. The property is dated, the shower head is old and corroded, the bedside lamp didn’t work so the only light in the room was the overhead light. Access to the ocean is wonderful and the staff are very nice. We had a problem with check in, we reserved and paid in advance for 2 rooms for 4 adults and they couldn’t find the reservation for the 2nd room at first so we were told to sleep 4 adults in one room, when we refused the front desk staff said we were just out of luck for staying there rather than problem solve and told us to call Expedia for a refund. We finally asked her to call a manager and he quickly found the 2nd room. It was not a good experience and a terrible start to our stay.

Older charming hotel. Great traditional Costa Rica breakfast daily. Nice pool. Amazing beach. Able to rent boogie boards and take surf lessons. Efran at the beach bar was friendly and made great cocktails. Katherine at front desk was very helpful. She made arrangements for excursions and taxis and was so very nice. Sweet hotel dog Flocko was a memorable part of our stay. Would return.

Great full service little jewel!

what a great find! Ive stayed in Jaco at least a dozen times and this is my favorite resort to stay at from now on. Large rooms with comfortable beds, refrigerator, coffee maker, ceiling fan, AC and TV. We got a pool view room which was next to the beachfront bar and it has been great beeing able to just walk out to our little patio into the pool, bar and beach. Surfing lessons right infront of hotel, umbrella and beach chair services, and surf board/boggie board rentals. We trully have enjoyed our 4 days stay at South Beach hotel. The staff has been very friendly, entertaining and funny, including the awesome bartender who kept us entertained while having pina coladas by the beach. I would recommend this hotel to families, couples and friends. Its in the quieter part of the beach and just what we were looking for. I give it a 10.

Pool, breakfast with a view, and AMAZING staff!

What a pleasant surprise! We enjoyed HSB so much that we came back for an extra night at the end of our trip. No frills, but steps from the beach with a beautiful pool, fantastic kitchen, and the BEST service in the bar/restaurant. This will be a go-to for us on future trips, as it was an easy ride to SJO as well.

Disliked: Amenities
Likes: staff, ocean, watching surfers, good breakfast, National park with sloths 1 hour away for $128 each - pick up at hotel. Shuttles on time!, beautiful pool and vegetation. Dislikes: Damp and stringy towels were provided every day Beach made of dirty dirt and rocks, uncontrolled humidity in rooms, loud thumping music from bar after 10pm. No fun shops in town. High prices on food and drinks. ( beer $7, well drink $12-13! Small bottle of Jack Daniels $76!!! That’s USA money my friends!). Early November not good for USA. Too many loud teens coming off beach area. ATM in town was broken. Hard core beach leaches who tell you they take credit cards but don’t and the word NO is not in their vocabulary. Hotel said they were not responsible but lots were out there waiting for prey. Like the Atlantic side, the Pacific side had lots of razor wire fences and the total decor was prison like. Once in awhile you spotted a nice house or hotel but most were like South Africa’s tin shacks for the blacks. This was supposed to be a relaxing trip but proved to be the opposite. We are avid travelers in the mid to low ‘70s range. We have been to over 35 countries and 5 continents and I’m sad to say that this was one of the worse. Forget cleanliness
