Tárcoles Hotels

Service and property were top of the line. Absolutely would go back.

I stayed 3 perfect nights at this hotel in Aug. 2009. The properity is beautiful with well maintained grounds lots of flowering plants and a wonderful pool. The rooms are spacious and attractive however we spent most of our time outside and we loved that the kitchen area was pool side ! The staff is outstanding and while eveyone is friendly and nice, the manager goes out of her way to make sure you have a pleasant stay. She gave us advice about taxi service, banking, eating out, the best beaches and local activities. If you want to plan a day trip, she has excellent local knowledge and resources. She even asked her Mother about a beach we were interested in visiting ! I consider myself well traveled and I have never encountered anyone as engaging and helpful as she is. This hotel is located a short taxi ride to the dark sand beaches of Jaco and Hurradura. We liked being away from the noise and traffic of the beach, yet we could be there in minutes. I honestly can not wait to go back.

When we booked our trip to Costa Rica we were pretty much shooting in the dark for what would work. We ended up choosing this hotel because of the location and the fact that it was a larger style hotel. The staff greeted us with fresh juice and a cool towel, even though it was a bit of an overcast day. Indeed, just as the other reviewers said, they even knew our name. The majority of the staff spoke excellent English so we had no problem with anything. Our hotel room had a great view of the bay and the hotel grounds, and our balcony was just right for a couple of people to sit outside and smoke a cigar while overlooking the water. The pool was massive and the hotel was very clean. The breakfast buffet was steep, but if you have a way to drive around, then you will have no problem finding cheap great food anywhere. Overall I must say I felt safe here, certainly no worries with leaving the car in the parking lot overnight. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Me and a friend book a trip to the Marriott for August 8-13 to attend a wedding. The view and pool area are VERY well kept and beautiful. The staff is are so very nice. I've traveled a lot of different places and have never felt so welcomed. Every single person that works there makes a point to say hello and ask about your day. The food is a little expensive and tastes more like an all-inclusive resort. We did have our breakfast included, which ended up being a real good thing, considering the buffet is about $26 a person. Then we usually ended up splitting a couple things for dinner. We had our best meal when we went into the town, Jaco. It did get dark rather early, but the pool still stayed open until 10:30. The wedding we attended was on the beach at the Marriot Beach Club. The location was very nice. But considering the time of year, it was SO hot. Relaxing by the pool was fine because of the breeze and of course hopping in the water. But if you don't have that and add dancing, it's a little uncomfortable. All in all, I would definitely stay here again, possibly adding the all-inclusive option.

If you want comfort and clean this is the place to stay,Staff was always helpful and friendly anything you needed and they could do they would.I give 5 stars in my book nothing better.

LOVED OUR ROOM EVEN THO IT FACED THE GROUNDS. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. NOT AS EASY ACCESS FOR TOURS AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. POOL AREA IS BEAUTIFUL. BEACH IS NOT AS NICE AS WE HAVE SEEN IN CARRIBEAN. ARENAL VOLCANO WAS WORTH THE TRIP. DINNER AT VILLA CALLETAS WAS WELL WORTH IT FOR THE SUNSET VIEW ALONE. WILL PLAN TO STAY AGAIN.

Everything was great, the hotel is in a wonderful relaxing environment, it was the best place we've been to so far. We will be going back.

This hotel was a really wonderful place to stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurants had great food. The pool and grounds were outstanding. They have a full gym and spa. If you want to relax stay here.

I've been to Jaco many times and have stayed in all types of hotels, from surf camps to the marriott....marriott rules....great pool and poolside food & drinks...............restaurants are weak & expensive....even breakfast buffet sucked @$24USD WHEW!!!......room service food and service overall was great.............not really for young travelers ...boring.........lots of kids too, warm spots in the pool...........spa was great, massage, facial. etc, average hotel fittness center, tennis too.... x-tra charge for all. & everything...ALTHOUGH GREAT SERVICE....watch your tabs...hotel adds service + some sort of additional intentional overcharge., keep all your hotel charges......beach at the hotel is poor...better off going to hermosa some 10 miles south, black sand and deserted...if your watching your $ this is not for you....if you plan to spend a lot of time at the pool and going on hotel sponsored tours...... rush to book a room here
