  • Over the last weekend I took a trip up to Jaco, an area I have never spent much time in. Jaco has many amenities and convinces that one would need living in Costa Rica. The town is known for its vibrant nightlife and a bit of a party culture should one choose to partake.

    The far left side and far right side are the best parts in my opinion, truly lovely!

    I found that place two years ago, stayed there last year for a few days. The location is perfect as it is at th very end of the beach. The only negative thing I can say is the close proximity to the roadway where the trucks come through, downshifting and creating a lot of noise. I love Jaco and can't wait to go back!!

      Ah yes the trucks!!! It is on a curve... always something to keep in mind in general for a rental!

    Been there twice, way too touristy for me but some places there are a little more laid back if you know where to go.

    Hahaha! Remember some young turks who just had invested in a house on the beach in Tamarindo and the mud and water just flushed into it from higher ground.

    How do you like Jaco vs Tamarindo.
    Is cost of living about the same or higher in one?

    • @SarahElenaDesignsLife
      @SarahElenaDesignsLife  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have heard that Tamarindo is more expensive! I have not been to Tamarindo so I cannot speak from experience from comparison to one or the other.

    Sarah ive noticed you have been asked where is it cheap or expensive the dividing line is Manuel Antonio south of there is cheaper to live and do things north of there it is much more expensive the reason im saying this it because ive been going to Costa Rica for about 20 yrs now and in love the Costa Ballena also i think you need to get with other agencies and lobby the tourism office to let The U S visitors in and not keep us out we do not to there to mooch off the country we rent housing buy property food gas etc and keep people in jobs and keep the economy going so please help us out to get us included in the international tourists that can come in to the country.

      Hi Jody! Yes I agree with you. I know the government is receiving a lot of pressure from the tourism sector. Hopefully things will open more soon...

    IMO, Jaco is a little too "dirty" for my taste but it'll do in a pinch. The beaches are far nicer in your neck of the woods.

      Sad to break it to you but all beaches that have rivers coming out nearby, these are not the cleanest source of water. Sadly this happens up and down both coasts and not limited to Costa Rica... a couple of years ago it was news that the Nicoya beaches had unsafe levels of contamination in there

    On the surface it's very beautiful if you've never been anywhere else in C.R. Beneath the surface, its an overpriced tourist trap with gambling prostitution and KFC. It's as far from a Costa Rican experience as any place I've been.
