Recent Puntarenas guest reviews

It’s a house in a newly developed community. Gated property with security. You’re provided a wrist band for in/out access. They won’t let anyone in. Served its purpose for a quick few nights. The outdoor pool is like Disney style family and kids pool.. it was warm outside in November, the sun is out early in the morning if you want to dip in the water. The beds were comfy and the air conditioner worked. It’s a clean home being fairly new. Probably not ideal for guys that will be up at night or looking to go in/out a lot. The home is called “Casa Tranquila/Quiet House”. It’s very expensive so look around before committing. There are plenty of condos on Airbnb right by the beach or check out Girasol Apartotel. We were a small group of guys. The walk to Jaco beach is like 15 mins. It’s very humid so keep that in mind. Uber is a cheap ride to the beach. Check-in time is 4pm and check out is 10am which is very early. We had an issue with the entrance door as the battery was weak for keypad entry and took us many attempts to get in sometimes. I mentioned it to the host and got very little help from them. Overall, Good experience but it’s expensive and intended for a family.
