I stayed there a few months ago and enjoyed UT. I wrote a review in a different thread but couldn't figure out how to link directly to the post. I am copying the high points here.
Hotel Jaco. Right on the beach. Great pool. Most rooms are very nice, one bedroom suites with a full kitchen. American owned and totally guest friendly. Very attentive staff. Price when I came down in April was about 1/2 the price of a Cocal room. I just checked and it looks like rooms run between $100 and $150 per night in August. Not as cheap as Claritas but a much nicer room.
Located across the bridge from the Cocal, about an 8 to 10 minute slow walk.
Only downsides:
(1) Restaurant / bar is good albeit a bit expensive.
(2) I stayed for two nights and housekeeping was only included with the checkout day. I would call to book and see what the housekeeping options are.
(3) Totally non-smoking property if that is important.
(4) I don't know why but they have outfitted a lot of the rooms with two queen beds.

Great hotel though I do recommend it as a fun location not too far from the action but far enough to feel relaxed.
