Jaco is a multitude of attributes for the seasoned traveler. Drug, prostitute and souvenir vendors are universal in the world. Once you say 'no gracias' I was never approached again. The town is small enough that you are known within three days if you walk about and check out half of the business establishments.
Jaco is cleaner than ...

This beach town has lots of problems. Drugs are everywhere. It took my friends and I 4 nights to meet a girl in a club that was NOT a prostitute. The town has become completely overdeveloped. This is NOT a good place for a family. It is also NOT a typical town in Costa Rica. It would be last on my list if I were visiting Costa Rica. At night the ...

Listen, Jaco may not be for everyone, but it is still the #1 Destination in all of Costa Rica and for many good reasons. .Jaco has changed for the better in leaps and bounds. It is cleaner, safer, and much more pleasurable to visit.

You'll find more to see and do there than any other part of Costa Rica, and the variety of dining, tours, ...

Man are you guys serious? A nice place for you and your husband? Who are you people? I just came back from Costa Rica on Monday, spent 3 days/nights in Jaco on my trip. That place is a mess...think of the wild west, where anything goes...people approaching you and selling EVERY drug imaginable in broad daylight. At night its even crazier, we went ...

sorry dont remember the name now (its been a while) but its on the south end of town, and on the east side of the main street, directly across from the jaco gym, and i think it has a yellow store front. anyways, excellent fresh food at a great price. you can get typicos and cosados of fish, chicken or pork for under 5 bucks. nice street side ...

Jaco has grown alot since the first time I visited and is still growing. In the past there was a large problem with drugs and the sort just like in NY, LA, Miami and the like. However, the more development that goes on the cleaner it gets. Now all the roads are paved the police force is up to par and the services are wonderful. Jaco is the hub ...

The people who give Jaco a good review have probably not traveled anywhere else in Costa Rica. Jaco is a total hellhole. If you are looking for a place to buy crack and get a child prostitute..Jaco is for you. Good advice..avoid that part of the west coast completely. Yes, they are building big condos but there is absolutely no infastructure or ...

I had heard this was strickly a surfer and party town. I was very suprised to see families and beautiful luxury condos along the waters edge. My husband and I stayed in a beautiful plae with a fabulous ocean view called Bahia Azul.A little expensive but well worth it. The 2 bedroom unit was beautifully furnished and had a full ocean view. Even a ...

Costa Rica is the kind of travel destination that gives you a giant bang for the buck.
The country is beautiful, it has natural treasures that are so exquisite and unique to leave you breathless, the people are genuinely caring and happy having discovered the flavor of life.
As far as security is concerned, I travelled there alone and found it ...
