A lovely place to stay in Jaco! Right amount of space for a comfortable stay. Good air conditioning, great location that wasn't too loud but still walkable to everything in Jaco as well as the beach. Great pool, hot water for showers. No complaints at all. Would stay again!

Loved it here! Close to everything, yet quiet and the beautiful landscape provided much needed shade after a day of surfing. The staff was very accommodating and even allowed us early check in after taking a red eye. Would definitely stay here again.

Hotel Tropical Garden is really the perfect apart style hotel to stay at when visiting dreamy C.R. The property is lush, gated, has a great pool, with bbq area under a roof, also with common area great for relaxing. Efficiency apartment style rooms paired throughout the property are perfect. The location is perfect because the beach -with private gate access- is 100m away while the convenience of main st is 100m the other way. Bonus that Koko restaurant is a great place to eat and watch sunsets. The side street this is all located on has street lights so no it is not some dark alley as I previously saw in some review. It is relatively quiet considering Jaco is a party every night kind of town. I highly recommend. Maybe only drawback is staff has very limited English, but translator apps solve that. Oh, they provide secure parking onsite for your car which is also a great amenity for peace of mind.

Parking was secure in a locked gate. We didn’t have a key to our gate as we were in overflow. We found the attendant to get out. Backing out was very tight but most places are in Costa Rica. Nice location. You can walk everywhere. The grounds are nice. Lots of iguanas and and birds.
Loud fire works late and into the morning on Saturday. Sunday was a quieter sleep. Beds were comfortable.

This was a nice and affordable place to stay in Jaco. There is a security gate that locks for entry into the parking area and hotel compound, so you can rest assured that your vehicle will not be tampered with. The location was convenient, about a half block from the main strip of the city and also the beach. Comfortable bed, nice appliances and shower. I would stay there agin.

Great location and just down the same street located on the beach is the restaurant Coco's. The garden area is beautiful. The pool is a nice hang with a covered area that has a pool table and grill. It's a simple check in and out. Just have to use WhatsApp.

Right in the middle of downtown Jaco and literary on the beachfront. No car needed! there is an entire strip of stores just at the junction so I spent most nights walking there to stroll and get good food.

Gorgeous
My friends and I had a great stay at Tropical Gardens. This is my 2nd stay here, and the rooms are very comfortable, and they even have a full kitchenette so you can make your own food if you want. The courtyard and pool are gorgeous, and the birds seem to really enjoy visiting. Also, we saw one of the big iguanas that wandered through the yard

This place is very tidy and safe and is right smack in the middle of Jaco. The gates and security is excellent so you don't have to worry about your car or stuff. 2 minute walk to beach and no noise at night. The stores and restaurants are about a 30 second walk. The grounds are very well kept and have beautiful Flora. Staff is very nice and are always there to help. The pool is really nice. It's not over fancy and super luxurious but it won't disappoint. I think it's a hidden gem in Jaco. Will stay there again if I ever go back.

The people who work here are wonderful and helpful. Today as I was leaving, a workman there helped me by taking my walker down two treacherous steps and loading my junk in the rental car.
The two steep steps leading into the unit need a ramp that can be put over the steps for walkers or wheelchairs. This is true for the steps to the pool, as well.
Car parking is behind locked gates and beach access is too. Keys are given to clientele so there is no problem with safety or egress.
This is a great site! The tropical birds are not shy in the morning and their songs can either gently wake you up or soothe you right back to sleep!

The garden is absolutely beautiful. On the first day, we took at least pictures of 10 kinds of birds. The water of the pool is warm and very well maintain. The room is very clean. The only problem is there are no hooks or bars in the room and bath room to hang towers and clothes. I also would like to have shampoo.
