First time visiting Costa Rica, and it was amazing! We were given some simple instructions from the owner about getting to Jaco via the toll road since we rented a car, and after about an hour and twenty minute drive from San Jose, we arrived in Jaco. We did use Waze, but it took us directly to the Monaco. We were greeted by two young ladies in the office, Ingrid and Edel, who were so pleasant, helpful and answered all of our questions.
The Monaco is beautifully landscaped, clean and has a guard at the front gate the greets you every time you come and go from the property. The condo was very clean, spacious and welcoming. It is located in the center of town, so there is a grocery, a pharmacy and several restaurants just across the street. We walked across the street, got some groceries and staples for the week. The condo had everything we needed for our stay, dishes, small appliances, silverware, glasses, soaps, shampoo, linens, hair dryers, and toiletries. Didn't need anything, except what we wanted to cook for ourselves. The girls in the office helped us book our zip-line trip, informed us about other activities and things to see, what a blast!
The pools were awesome, not busy and very clean. There are a few grills by the pools in case you want to go to the local meat market and get something to grill. The beach is two blocks away and is neat to watch the surfers catch a wave. We were able to walk from the condo to both ends of the beach, and never needed a taxi. This was a wonderful vacation, and we would book this condo over and over again. Thank you Scott, what a great experience!
