The best condo in Jaco Beach, just got A LOT BETTER!

Welcome to The Palms 801! We are the only five bedroom beachfront condo in all of Jaco. At the time of this writing, we have 75 reviews (74 five star, 1 four star). All reviews came before we did a massive update on all of the interior and balcony. In October 2024 we updated everything! We have new beds, furniture, bathrooms, floor tiles, wallpaper, art, closets, and appliances. Palms 801 was already the best rental unit in all of Jaco prior to the construction updates, but now the condo is flawless.

Our goal at Palms 801 is to provide you an amazing place to stay and help you enjoy the perfect vacation. Palms 801 is a truly special place and we want to be part of the best vacation you will ever have. Our mission is to make you want to come back to Costa Rica again and again.

Palms 801 covers the entire 8th floor of The Palms. We have a fully covered 52' x 13' balcony that makes for the perfect place to have breakfast, see the beach, enjoy sunrise and sunset, or just relax. Palms 801 is also handicap friendly.

We are a one minute walk to the beach, three pools, and five restaurants. We are a five minute walk to more amazing restaurants, stores, and nightlife. Nearly all Jaco is within walking distance or only a short taxi ride away.

Our housekeeper Raquel will serve breakfast each day and also clean for you daily. Raquel speaks perfect English and Spanish. She can also help arrange airport pick up, tours and excursions, chef services for lunches and dinners, and lists of things to do in Costa Rica.

Nothing beats having breakfast at home before heading out to your adventures. Your 1st day starter breakfast is fully comped by us! Each additional breakfast will be prepared by Raquel. You only have to provide the groceries. The kitchen is stocked with cooking supplies, spices, and dry goods. Raquel can do grocery shopping upon request as well.

We will help you plan and customize your vacation: airport shuttles, rental cars, tours, taxis, amazing places and when to go to them. Our goal is to make it so you only have to worry about flights and enjoying the best vacation you have ever had!

2 king suites, 1 queen suite, 1 bedroom with a queen bed, and 1 bedroom with a queen bed + a rollout double bed. 24/7 security at The Palms. Weddings, Events, Corporate Retreats, contact us please.

Muchas Gracias,
Lucy- property manager
Jason & Mila, owners
We hope you enjoy Palms 801, Jacó, and Costa Rica!

Everything was excellent!! The penthouse is beautiful and has an amazing view of the beach. Raquel, our property manager was very helpful and sweet. She offered to cook breakfasts for our group of 7 and all the food she made was delicious! On our second day the building’s water pipe burst and Raquel was communicative on updates and let us know once repaired. Will definitely be coming back when planning a stay in Jaco.

Better than expected. Great!

Our host was very prompt answering questions and making adjustments to our stay. The day to day property manager arranged all of our excursions and transportation to and from including the airport. We felt very safe and trusting with our arrangements. Compared to the excursions and activities offered downtown and by random taxi drivers. We used the Property’s preferred Chef Sharlton and he was great. Lots of food left over for lunch the next day for about the price of eating out. Great for a family of eight.

Perfect Vacation In Jaco

There were only six of us but this Condo would have been spacious for 10+. Very clean and comfortable, excellent location on the beach and within walking distance of shopping and restaurants in Jaco. Centrally located for local attractions at Los Suenos and Manuel Antonio National Park. Raquel was amazing, excellent breakfasts of local flavor and a great resource for coordinating activities. Thank you so much for your hospitallity!

Every outing we did, she facilitated. Had outstanding experiences every time at every outing. We can't thank you all enough!

Great week getaway, 5 couples!

Great location, about 75 minutes from SJO. Penthouse oceanfront! Very clean, very nice, GREAT deck over looking bay! Having access to Crocs pools was nice. Also local nearby food (Manglers, De China, and many in town). Lots of fun things to do: Costa Cat to Tortuga, Go Wild Adventures Waterfall hike, deep sea fishing and Manual Antonio National Park. We did not rent a car. Shuttles and taxis were fine. Raquel was AWESOME to help while there but also arranging the adventures. HIGHLY recommend!!

Beyond Expectations!

Our family booked the Palms in 2020, and couldn’t go ;( we were thrilled to have it available for our trip this year. we have never stayed in a place so beautiful, so well stocked…. if we thought we needed it, it was there, from the kitchen to the beach. We needed 5 bedrooms for our adult children and their spouses, each had their own room, privacy galore ! and spacious patio, dining and living rooms. as if wasn't enough, Raquel attended to all our needs, our questions, many many recommendations and booking help! she also came in to clean so we could enjoy Costa Rica. she made our breakfast one morning which was one of our best meals! I cannot say enough, book now to enjoy this beautiful country.

Best Family Trip EVER

Our family of 9 were exceedingly pleased with The Palms 801 experience. Much better than expected! The apartment is very spacious, well appointed, beautifully decorated and newly renovated kitchen, and beautiful views of Jaco beach and ocean. Aaccess to Croc’s pools next door was special treat, much enjoyed by two grandsons Raquel was a gem! She expertly introduced us to various excursions in area, restaurants, shops, sights, plus a chef who prepared dinner for us one night. Having her breakfasts and available for cleaning and answering questions every day made a huge difference for our first trip to Costa Rica. We are now spoiled and want her with us on every family vacation!

Great condo and hosts!

Our family of 11 spent a week at this condo on Jaco beach. Everything was fantastic. There was excellent communication with the property manager from the very beginning. Racquel was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us around the place and provided information on tours / restaurants in the area. Racquel was fantastic, cooking breakfast for us most mornings and providing housekeeping. The condo is great, exactly as described. The views from the balcony are amazing, The kitchen was well stocked, toiletries and laundry soap provided. Plenty of towels and beach equipment. The location is perfect, on a quieter section of the beach, several restaurants within easy walking distance. The main section of Jaco is nearby (could walk if desired) with many restaurants and a nice grocery. Perfect stay!

Perfect Stay with Exceptional Service and Prime Location

Our stay at this property was amazing! We were a group of eight, ranging in age from 18 to 80, and it suited everyone beautifully.Rachel, the manager, is truly exceptional. She was a fantastic resource, offering excellent recommendations for things to do in the area and places to shop for groceries. Since we enjoy cooking together, her tips on where to find fresh fruits and vegetables were particularly helpful.One breakfast, cooked by Rachel, was included with the condo, a real treat. She prepared a traditional Costa Rican meal featuring rice, beans, eggs, and guava jelly—something none of us had tried before. It was absolutely delicious!We loved having access to the Crocs pool, which became our go-to spot after daily outings. Our group spent hours playing basketball, volleyball, and HORSE in the pool—it was so much fun!We explored several local restaurants, and while some were hits and others misses, every outing was a memorable experience. After a tour of Manuel Antonio Park (arranged by Rachel), she suggested we try Avion Restaurant. It was perfect—everyone had a fantastic meal, and it was a welcome break after a hot jungle walk.The condo itself is top-notch, with a recent remodel that showcases the owners’ excellent taste. I really enjoyed the live plants on the balcony and house, which added a lovely touch.Overall, this property exceeded our expectations in every way. From the thoughtful details to the outstanding service, it’s a place we’d highly recommend.
