I liked just about everything about Lia. The all adult was starters, room was up to date and comfortable. We had the ocean view which gives you a direct view to the beach and ocean. Bar was awesome and breakfast and outside eating area with beach and ocean behide you was breathtaking. Beds was super comfortable. The only thing I would recommend is better parking for guests. Oh yeah just one block away from main strip of Jaco where there’s shopping, bars, and restaurants. I will definitely be coming back.

Very interesting conditions. Some rooms have No TV or Radio. The hotel is presented as a \"unplug\" environment. The WiFi was unstable a several times. I assume given the location is beach front and between tropical backgrounds, the amount of bugs, ants, amd lizards were more than normal or acceptable for my relaxation. The staff were amazing! 👏 The management team equally amazing! The breakfast and lunch options were pleasantly surprisingly good. The walk to amd from the hotel, down the alley way, is undesirable, especially at night.

When I booked the room on expedia, I paid 2 people thank God to tell me I need to pay a $100 more to bring my guest, which is already on this expedia app. This is a ripo
The play seems very expensive to be so inexperience i'm keeping the customer happy it was a very beautiful place though but everything inside the room had the price they was priced in warnings.If you take it or break it
And the whole Entrance was flooded. You had to walk through water to get in the door.

This hotel is great!! Recently renovations make rooms seem new. The staff was amazing,giving personal attention addressing me by name . The menu items well crafted, food is delicious. Literally right on the beach. You can watch the waves coming in from the open air restaurant. Great pool ,with food and drink served poolside. Location is good as well. Just off the main avenue, very close to pharmacy and convenience store. Easy walking distance to many restaurants,bars and souvenir shops. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.

I am very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. I booked a Deluxe room with a pool view, but upon arrival I was given a “comfort garden” room instead, which did not have any meaningful garden view. The plants outside the room were identical to those throughout the hallways, so it felt misleading.

When I asked about the room discrepancy, Angela at the front desk explained that only garden rooms accommodate three people, which I understand. However, I was still charged the higher Deluxe room rate. When I requested a partial refund due to this downgrade, Veronica said she would speak with the manager and advised me to contact Expedia.

At checkout, I followed up with Angela but was told there was no update. After contacting Expedia, they reached out to the hotel and informed me that the hotel refused to issue any partial refund.
Additionally, the experience was disappointing from the start. Our room was not ready upon arrival, I had to request additional towels, and the room itself showed signs of poor maintenance, including water damage, cracked walls, and overall lack of cleanliness.

Overall, the service, communication, and room quality did not match what was advertised or what I paid for. I would not recommend staying here based on this experience.

The hotel is very nice but missing many basics which is strange given the hotel was recently remodeled. As a couple of examples, there is no shelf in the shower for putting on shampoo or soap bottles, a lack of hooks for hanging up wet towels, and no desk so very hard to do any computer work. A small investment in some of these common sense improvements would make it a great place.

Staff were fabulous.

This hotel was excellent in every way possible. It's a beautiful location, a beautiful facility, and the view out on the ocean was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a parking lot, which left one poor guest with a vehicle that was struck twice by other motorists while parked on the side of the narrow access road. If you come here, but the full insurance package on your car.

Staff need courtesy and professional training. We ordered a drink at the bar and no one knew how to ring it up. It took over 15 minutes to finally figure it out and they wouldn't let us just walk away. It was insane! Really ruined the rest of our stay. We had a big group who reserved 6 rooms, none us will be going back.

The room we stayed in faced the pool. I saw some reviews mentioning that the rooms are small, but I didn’t really find that to be an issue—especially considering that the whole point of staying here is to spend most of your time outside enjoying the property.

One thing to note is that the shower is somewhat exposed to whoever you’re sharing the room with, which could matter depending on your level of privacy.

The biggest drawback for me was the lack of a TV and mini fridge. It can get quite hot at times, and having a refrigerator available for guests would make a big difference—especially for keeping drinks or small items cold without having to constantly leave the room.

That said, the food was good, the staff was great, and the security team deserves special mention. They are very friendly and extremely attentive to what’s going on around the property. The owner of the property is also very helpful with arranging activities or things you may want to do in the area and makes sure you’re well taken care of as a guest.

Overall, the place feels very safe. The road leading to the hotel is also a nice bonus. There are several restaurants just a block away offering Thai, Indian, and traditional Costa Rican cuisine, plus a 24-hour shop on the corner that’s popular with tourists and reasonably priced.

There are ways to watch TV since the hotel offers Wi-Fi, but you’ll want to bring an iPad, lapto

Let’s just say I was embarrassed booking my wife and I there. We had another hotel, but our car couldn’t access it; so, I booked Lia the night before: Good: location, new building, good guests, ocean front. Bad: all there was in the room was a bed, a mirror, 2 drawers, a few hangers, 2 towels, 2 beach towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. What was missing: everything else: no fridge, no water, glasses, shower racks, luggage rack, chairs, tables, etc. The ceiling in the open air hallway was packed with spider web, which got cleaned the next day. Breakfast was bad enough that we skipped it the second day even though it was paid for. I was told this is a concept and perhaps it is, but Motel 6 offers more, I imagine at least a fridge.

Most of the rooms are small and lack amenities such as, coffee maker, fridge, hooks to hang towels, a place to really unpack. We inquired about a stand to put our luggage on and when they realized how long we were staying gave us a bigger room. This was better as it had a TV and a few more shallow drawers. Still lacked places for our swimsuits to dry, or even a place to hang our towels after a shower. The staff is amazing, the food is great! I can’t say enough good things about that. The hotel is only five months old so hopefully they will add these amenities.

As a Costa Rican who has been visiting Jacó my entire life, I’ve witnessed the town grow busier and more commercial over the years. So discovering Hotel Lia felt like stumbling upon a true oasis amid the hustle and bustle.

This beachfront hotel offers something rare in Jacó: a peaceful, safe, and beautifully designed space that feels a bit removed from the chaos, without sacrificing location. The access to the beach is seamless, and the setting itself feels new, fresh, and thoughtfully maintained. Everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas, and the pool area was especially lovely.

One of the highlights was the staff, they were warm, helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. At one point, they even set things up so we could enjoy the sunset directly from the sand, which was such a memorable touch.

The food at the on-site restaurant was surprisingly good, with fair pricing, and it made staying in that much more enjoyable. Honestly, everything about our stay was pleasant and easy.

What makes Hotel Lia even more special is its proximity to San José. It’s only a two-hour drive, making it an ideal weekend escape without the long haul that other beautiful beach destinations in Costa Rica often require.

All in all, I only have great things to say about this hotel. It’s a rare find in Jacó, and I highly recommend it to anyone, locals or visitors, looking for a stylish, safe, and peaceful getaway just a short drive from San José.

The ambiance was amazing. The staff was really nice and helpful. The bar and food are amazing. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5, there are some upgrades needed especially if they’re categorizing themselves as high-end. In every hotel/ resort, until this one you can fined a iron, iron board, hair dryers, and a mini fridge (especially would be nice since it does get pretty hot). They have a weird extra fee for guest; which I’ve never experienced at any other hotel. On my birthday we had to completely switch rooms. Overall, my experience was pretty good minus those inconveniences.

The staff were attentive and very helpful, and having a private pool was definitely a plus. Parking, however, could have been a better experience. Our balcony was shared with three other rooms, which was fine, but I would have preferred it to be more secluded. The property also shares the beach, and unfortunately it felt a bit dirty and messy at times.

Ok so I am not much of a review writer on any platform but this place deserves me writing about it. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left my experience was unlike any other hotel stay I’ve ever had. Everyone was very serviceable and friendly, I mean above and beyond!!!! All 4 bartenders are phenomenal, made me feel as if I was hanging out with life long friends, all 3 ladies I dealt with at reception were outstanding and accommodating, the room was immaculate, the decore of the entire hotel is very much my stile, very chick, and elegant yet has that laid back Costa Rica feel, this place has a beautiful pool with day beds all around sits right on the beac. I had the pleasure of meeting Nick the owner, something I had never experienced before the man is the embodiment of what his hotel represents, I was told there were some touches still in the making and I can not wait to return and check them out. It was my first time in Jaco and I can say with certainty there is no other hotel that I would be even remotely interested in staying at even if it was for free.

Thank you everyone at Lia Hotel for an amazing experience.
