Where would you guys recommend staying in jaco. Would you stay at hotel
Cocal or copacabana

Neither - Canciones del Mar

Yup - just don't stay at either of those! (found a dead mouse - true story in my bed at the Copa one time when I checked in; twice the air was not working; over priced like many properties in Jaco - you need a/c in Jaco!)

But worth a look to see if anyone is hanging out by the pool

Copa has got a great pool area. Haven't been in rooms in ages, but seems biggest complaint there is that the rooms are not worth the money. Not that they are shitty, but just not up to the price charged. Canciones del Mar is very nice. One of my favorite spots in Jaco. Very chill, but think they charge a chica fee. Cocal redid a lot of their rooms a few years back and the ones I've seen are nice. I like the pool area. And guys, Poseidon. I will be going to the beach more now that the season is here. If we were too plan in advance, I have pretty free reign to do and organize some crazy shit at Poseidon. Would need to get a time when we took up 6 rooms or more. Hell, there is a group renting the whole 13 rooms next month and it will be hedonism. I know guys like houses and have been keeping my eyes open for something good. The big houses are generally not good for guys cuz they are basing how many people a house sleeps on couples in beds. Will report any houses I add to the list.

Well after reading about the copa and hotel cocal I booked a house.

Pretty roomy and decent for the price suppose to be in the middle of town sleeps 15 and we have 6 guys should be plenty of space. I'll update my trip one it comes 29 days and counting boys!!!
