I will preface this review by saying that I have traveled a lot, and stayed in all kinds of accommodations in different areas of the world. I had high hopes for this rental based on the photos, but by and large was disappointed. First, the pros: the location was good on the North end of Jaco beach with pretty ocean views off of the balcony. Parking was easy and we appreciated the 24 hr security. It felt very safe there. The layout of the condo was good for a family. Cons: the ceilings were covered in moldy spots in multiple rooms. The upholstered master bed frame looked like a pack of muddy dogs had rubbed up against it for days. The air conditioner in the main living area worked, but constantly dripped water onto the glossy tile floor - we spent the entire week changing out towels under a bucket so that no one would slip. Although the vacation rental company, Vacasa, initially responded quickly by sending someone over to see the a/c problem in person, there was no further response after that despite them promising a technician would come out the next day (5 days with zero contact). If there was a better unit not managed by Vacasa in this building, I would say it might be worth a look, but as far as this particular unit, buyer beware!
