We loved Hotel Amavi! The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and help. Highly recommend!
Pros:

The hotel is bright and colorful. Our room opened up right onto the pool area so it was fun and easy to swim and meet up with our friends. And we could walk to the beach in about 2 minutes.

Cons:

Our only complaint was a cat that caterwauled for many hours into the night. It sounded like she walked up and down the corridor of rooms and she was very loud.

Highly recommended
Pros:

Everything, the hotel is very clean in esch single aspect.
The staff is unique, very kind and available for any request.
Breakfast: you have 4 choice of breakfast, everything is prepared at the moment and it’s delicious.
You have a pool where you can relax, a park for your car and the position is close to the centre and closer to the beach (100 mt from playa Jaco).
They offer different kind of excursions, I kindly recommend to enjoy a surf lesson with Julian, he is very empathetic and a professional.
The place is very relaxing and I kindly suggest you if you need a break from the city and from your life:)
I’ll come back for sure in Jaco and once there I’ll stay again in hotel Amavi, for sure!

Ah last but not least, price are very affordable !

Fun, comfortable, easy, pleasant, great vibe
Pros:

What a pleasant surprise. We live in Nosara and were taking a road trip south for several days. We wanted to take a break on the way and found this Hotel. Unlike most of the dated and/or poorly designed hotels in the Jaco area, it appeared to have character and style, exactly what we like in hotel. Everything exceeded expectations. The place is really cute. The rooms were well thought out and designed, and the beds incredibly comfortable. The staff was incredible, attentive, funny, and engaging. Parking easy and right there. Great pool and bar, too. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely stay here when back in Jaco.

Cons:

Liked everything

Joyful Vibrant Bday Retreat!! 🌴
Pros:

If you’ve ever dreamed of diving straight from your hotel room into a vibrant pool, sipping cocktails designed by a mixology wizard, and falling asleep in a bed that rivals any five-star resort—@Hotelamavi in Jaco, Costa Rica, should be at the top of your list!

Anneth, part of Hotel Amavi’s all-star-team, had our room ready by noon so we could prep for our Explorer Tour with @toura.global.

After returning, still buzzing from the day’s adventures, we did what any sane person would do: jumped right into the warm pool. The in-pool lounge chairs? Game changer. The direct pool-and-bar access from our room? Iconic.
Fofo, Amavi’s fabulous bartender made me a drink I’ll be ordering again and again: The Riddle-tropical, tangy, refreshing cocktail. It’s bright, a little flirty, and goes down dangerously easy. Priced at $10, it’s worth every colón.
Back in our cozy room, I indulged in all the @rawbotanicals products provided-handmade in CR-the star of the show: Mango Dream Cream. Yes, I will be buying it in bulk. Don’t judge!
Climbing into what might just be the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, I had a moment of pure awe. Every detail in this hotel feels curated with love. If you’re a fan of HGTV’s #bettingonparadise you’ll recognize the signature style of Steph and Luke, the dream team behind Amavi. But trust me—seeing it on screen is one thing, experiencing it in person is next-level.

I woke to birdsong (actual birdsong!), made myself coffee from the room’s custom coffee bar, and sipped it by the pool! ☕️
Hotel Amavi is more than just a place to stay—it’s a joyful, vibrant retreat that completely lives up to the hype.
And the best birthday present ever? 4pm checkout!! 🎉
We will be back @hotelamavi-you’re like family now so you’re stuck with us!! ♥️

Great place to stay in Jacó!
Pros:

Loved this hotel! There are only a small number of rooms so it was very peaceful. The room was a great size with a really comfortable bed, and the pool and bar on your doorstep. The beach is only a couple minutes walk away - perfect for a swim, surf or catching the sunset! I also really enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere of this area of Jacó, exactly what I was looking for.
