Hotel Mar de Luz

Jacó


This adorable little hotel with Dutch-inspired murals of windmills and tulips has tidy and attractive air-conditioned rooms (outfitted with fridges, microwaves and coffee makers) and stone-walled villas that are perfect for families. The friendly owner (who speaks Dutch, Spanish, English, German and Italian) offers two swimming pools, several BBQ grills and plenty of useful information.

The owner is also extremely committed to fighting drugs and prostitution in Jacó, and is at the forefront of an admirable campaign to clean up the city.
