Arenal Pacífico

Frommer's Review

This is a good midrange option, and it's right on the beach to boot. The rooms are nothing special -- and almost none offer an ocean view -- but they are clean and cool, and most are pretty spacious. The grounds are pretty lush for Jacó -- you even have to cross a shady bridge over a little stream to get from the parking lot and reception to the rooms and restaurant. I like the newer second floor rooms, which have private balconies. The superior rooms are larger, and come with coffeemakers and minifridges. There are two outdoor pools -- one with a little waterfall filling it, another with a round children's pool. The open-air restaurant serves standard Tico and international fare.
