Small hotel on the beach with 6 rentals and an apartment. Owners are very motivated to sell. They are asking a million but are probably willing to accept a little less. Just passing the word along. Word is they would probably take 850k. Could be a little private paradise. There is a small pool in the back and an area to cook and hangout in front.

Which hotel is it, and how many rooms does it have?

It's a little place called Villa Gecko. Has six rentals and an apartment in front. Small pool in back and a bbq hangout area in front...... More like an aparthotel than a formal hotel...

Come on. Somebody crunch the numbers for us on this.

Nice looking boutique place--here's the Website in English, French and Spanish including contact info. Includes a restaurant serving desayuno and light sunset snacks. Somebody should do well with this place.

Assuming 60% occupancy......its worth 600-800K
But you get an apartment and its on the water.....
BUT its in jaco and I would guess there are security issues down there. Hence need the gate in front of the beach.
Seems like a fair price but nobody will get a loan for that amount. Must have cash so probably room for negotiation.

Not even in the realm of possibility for me to do it, but I would love to have it for my clients. It is really chill on that end of the beach. I think it is priced ok compared to other Jaco properties that it will be a fairly good investment, just the property itself, once the economy and real estate market thaw a little. Fairly rustic, but the rooms are nice. I stayed there a few weeks ago when I had a problem in my apt.

If every CRT registerd member chips in $46 we own it
The down side of that is that it would take almost nine years for every member to stay there one night
If I had he money this is would be must look at

For 650-800K this is a good deal, but no bank will loan you the money so you have to have cash. Looks nice though

At which end of the beach is it, I assume on the southern end?

It is on the southern end of the beach. Except for weeks like semana santa it is pretty quiet down there..

Hey Greengo...does that mean they picked up the plastic bags and old tires? Actually, it might be the right size for a Jaco version of Sportsmans Lodge.

Are there beaches in Costa Rica known for their non-sewage and clean water? What about Puerto Viejo area?

and the best part, there is no extra charge.
