“Overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I am sorry to disagree with the other reviewers but we found this property to be run down. Several hours on three occasions over two days without water and no hot water, ever. The sunset views were great but part of our lack of total satisfaction may be the town/beach; the beach is too muddy/gritty, unlike Manuel to the south which has the clean blue waters we came to swim in. Fundamentally, the price of a room in the similar property in Hawaii for example would be half the price. I guess that is costa rica however so be prepared. The food was good as well however and I think adventure travelers will enjoy the property if they have to be in Jaco. The staff were definitely cool for the most part but overwhelmed by the required facility work in plumbing, electrical, and refurbishment.

Room Tip: Get the ocean view rooms!

“Great place to watch the sun set!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Great location to watch the sunset. We never would have found this restaurant if a friend didn't recommend it. They have super sweet staff, and amazing on the beach location, which is not that common in Jaco. The meals are superb, fish cooked perfectly and the ceviche is something to write home about. Definitely give this place a try!!!

“Perfect getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

This hotel really made the long trip from Europe worth all the effort! Fabulous location, amazing food, exceptional staff, and sheer perfection all around! What makes this hotel so special is how it is just steps away from the hustle of the main street but it is able to make you feel like you have been transported a million miles away. I was able to take full advantage of the beautiful pool and beach while my boyfriend stepped outside the door to go surfing. Canciones del Mar is the perfect place to get away from it all and feel like you are truly in paradise!

“Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

We had a wonderful time at Canciones del Mar. It is right next to the beach, and also has a large pool with many lounge chairs if the surf isn't your thing. The rooms were clean, and nicely decorated. We had no issues with housekeeping, and service throughout the hotel was wonderful. The restaurant was FANTASTIC, the complimentary breakfast was always excellent. Make sure to check out the bar and jacuzzi on the roof!

This hotel has the best of all to offer. Beach front and right downtown in the middle of all of the action. Rooms were very charming and clean. Service was impeccable. Would definitely stay there again.
