    The beachfront access is 💖 AMAZING! The room was spacious, and the bed was comfy, but the bathroom and furniture were a bit basic. Also, it was a bummer about limited hangout spots.

    beachfront access
    high pillows
    traffic noise

    Incredible beachfront access for spectacular sunrises.

    I found the pillows unbearably high, making it impossible to sleep comfortably. The lack of suitable seating on the balcony made it challenging to relax and enjoy the view. Plus, the noise from traffic nearby was disruptive, particularly during the night.

    The beachfront access is truly unbeatable, making it easy to catch stunning sunrises or relax with the sound of the waves nearby.

    The pillows were excessively high, making it challenging to find a comfortable sleeping position.

    too soft bed
    limited pool access

    The quad room was spacious and the bed was super comfy. However, my husband and son found the bed a bit too soft. The pool area looked great, but we didn't have time to use it. I really loved that the beach was just steps away!

    great access to beach and local attractions

    during my stay, I truly appreciated being just a short walk away from the vibrant Jaco Beach, where I enjoyed early morning strolls along the shore, as well as the proximity to Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala Wildlife Refuge, which offered stunning views and was perfect for afternoon explorations.

    few choices

    My stay at The Backyard Beachfront Hotel was delightful, primarily due to the lovely beachfront access that allowed for serene sunrise views each morning. The staff, particularly Chelsie, went above and beyond in assisting with our transportation and rescheduling a missed tour, making our visit smooth and enjoyable.

    Limited dining options nearby.

    stunning beachfront

    Family with children magical beach escape

    We were blown away by the beachfront access. I mean, you step out and the ocean is right there. The huge patio was perfect for family hangouts.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but the quality and experience made it totally acceptable.

    spacious room
    loud bar

    We absolutely adored the beachfront access and the spacious room. The beach was stunning, and nearby restaurants made dining easy. Chelsie was a gem, rescheduling our tour after our flight fiasco!

    But good heavens, was that bar next door loud! My morning coffee was more like a soundtrack to a rock concert!

    great stay but small dining options nearby

    The room had a stunning sea view that made each morning special. Chelsie provided exceptional service by helping us rearrange our tour due to missed flights. The beachfront access was fantastic, perfect for relaxing by the waves.

    Dining options nearby were limited, but many choices a short drive away.
