Excellent room and Staff, very clean
EMERSON
We have been visiting this hotel for several years, and unfortunately we noticed a significant decline in quality this time.
The hotel is clearly cutting back on maintenance. The area around the pool looks worn out, with several damaged and faded awnings that need urgent replacement. The rooms also show clear signs of neglect — walls and furniture are starting to look tired and outdated.
The bathroom towels were of very poor quality: thin, rough, and not what you would expect from this hotel. In the restaurant, the service left a lot to be desired — slow, inattentive, and lacking the friendliness we experienced in previous visits.
It’s a shame because in past years this was one of our favorite places. The drop in standards this time was very noticeable. We hope the management invests again in maintenance and staff training to bring back the quality this hotel once had.

My wife and I spent a week at Hotel Docelunes while studying spanish. Our stay was in the middle of the rainy season, so our experience may not be typical for a high season guest.
For several of our nights we were the only guests on property. This does have its pluses, we had the pool to ourselves and parking was never a problem. The downside is that there were almost no amenities. Aside from breakfast in the morning, there is no restaurant service, bar service, and no spa or yoga.
Breakfast every day was nice. Plato Tipico with a beans and rice mix, eggs, fresh fruit and coffee. Visiting with our server every morning was very nice.
As far as the property is concerned, the gardens are beautiful with tons of flowers, birds, iguana, and from time to time monkeys. We enjoyed sitting pool side and watching the wildlife.
Our room was large and very comfortable and the bed was nice. We did have an issues with hot water but after a lesson from the staff on what to turn on when, we were able to take hot showers (Sink faucet on full, then shower on, then sink to 1/4, and leave on while taking a shower). Parking was secure as we were behind a gate with a 24 hour guard.
Front desk staff leave before 6. After that, other than the guard, there is no staff on property. If you need something, walk to the small market 100 yards off property or the Soda across the street.
I suspect this was a very nice resort 10-15 years ago. With that said, we would stay again.

El estado de las habitaciones y el mantenimiento general de la propiedad es aceptable, el problema es que habían demasiadas cucarachas dentro de la habitación. En total matamos 5 gigantes, se nos metieron hasta en los bolsos y dormimos muy incómodos por que se nos subieran a la cama o a nuestros niños.
Christian
Tengo varios años de visitar el hotel y ya se ve signos de desgaste, ya necesita mantenimiento en varias áreas
Patricia
The property is gorgeous and the swimming pool is nice and big. The only thing I did not like was that the bed was too hard.
Zhong Ping
My kid, wife and I are very happy with our stay, beat our expectation. The hotel is surrounded by tropical forest, like a beautiful botanic garden, quite and safe. The breakfast is amazing, love the swimming pool, check-in is simple and easy, spacious room, very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Jesse
Good value if you're looking for a relatively quiet place in a garden setting close to but away from Jaco center. 24/7 security is good. Breakfast is fresh but the same every day. Not sure if it's different on the weekend but I don't believe the onsite restaurant serves lunch or dinner. Plenty of dining options nearby. The room was mostly clean. Some mold or mildew on the nightstand lamp cord. Hot water is limited and seems like it may be shared between the two duplex units. My son had mostly cold showers. I was more fortunate when showering early in the day or later in the evening. The pool is quite nice but there's limited seating and people tend to leave their stuff to \"hold\" it. The hot tub wasn't hot or working when we tried it. We saw the jets working for others but not sure of the temperature. Standing under the pool's waterfall offers a nice massage. Idiot guests feed the monkeys which has made them aggressive. Thought they were going to attack from the tree above the walkway heading to our room one day. Lots, and lots, of ants. Room safe didn't work electronically so the front desk had to give the only key they had. No telling what would have happened if we had lost it. Lock on bathroom door was broken. Overall hotel seems like it was amazing about 10-15 years ago. Hard to say if the current owner is working to renovate or just maintain.
Would recommend because of the good value and relatively quiet, friendly staff, and picturesque setting.

Beautiful hotel !!! The free daily breakfast was fantastic - shoutout to Jordan! The staff at this hotel are super sweet and there are two kitties and a sweet guard dog on the property. Wonderful location as it’s close to downtown but also secluded enough for some quiet and peace. Wonderful stayed for 5 days, highly recommend!

The pool was lovely and we loved all the animals - domestic and wild! Our neighbors insisted on smoking on the porch despite the “no Fumar” sign posted right outside.

Very quiet location and an easy uber ride to the beach,
Hotel is a bit run down and a bit concerned no hotel staff overnight, just the security guy and dog at the main gate!

The photos are a bit misleading. The property appears to have once been a resort in its prime, but it now feels like it may have changed ownership and hasn’t been kept up the same way. The grounds are somewhat neglected, and overall maintenance seems limited.
Parking is tight, and arriving at night was a little confusing. You drive along what feels like a narrow, one-way residential street, and the hotel sits right above it. The main entrance was secured behind two large iron gates, but the night attendant was very kind and welcoming, checked us in smoothly, and provided our room key without any issues.
The room itself was spacious and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, the shower was frustrating — the water temperature constantly fluctuated, so we had to keep adjusting the hot and cold knobs every couple of minutes just to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Because our room faced the residential street, the morning noise was hard to ignore. Between neighborhood dogs barking and neighbors arguing, there was definitely no need for an alarm clock 😅
On a positive note, breakfast was very good — hot, fresh, and with plenty of options to choose from.
Overall, the biggest downsides for me were the condition of the grounds and the shower. With some upkeep and maintenance improvements, this place could really shine again.

This is a beautiful property there is a store close for snacks u can walk to right outside the gate, breakfast and lunch was amazing too!
They are a dog friendly property which was nice but we had a small yappy dog that started in at 7am! And the shower was broke it is a dated property but will definitely be back. If u do not like small dogs prob not the place for you tho.

The interior of the hotel is like a resort with a nice pool, lots of trees and very beautiful. But the hot tub doesn’t have hot water. The rooms are spacious but needs a bit upkeep like there is some sort of smell in the rooms, so have to keep a/c running. It feels like you are living in the nature which is very nice. The reception closes at 7 but there is security 24*7 and the facility is close gated, so very safe. Near by area is okay. Close to the Jaco downtown. 5 mins drive. Overall nice place to relax.
Inese
Amazing location on the edge of jungle and just 15 min walk to main street. Free bicycle if required. Beautifully kept garden. Great breakfast of local cuisine. Clean rooms and friendly staff.
Sophie
We had a wonderful stay! Jordan at the front desk was the absolute best—helpful, friendly, and full of great recommendations that made our trip even better. The grounds were beautiful, almost like staying in a jungle, and the pool was gorgeous. Just wish the bar had been opened. The location was very convenient and just a short drive to town. We also felt very safe, especially with the beautiful guard dog on the property. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Augusto
in a residential area, didn't know if safe to walk around

Pool is nice…..but not enough lighting after sun is gone. Restaurant AND bar NOT available (especially when customers are looking for this type of convenience). Inconvenient location……away from the Jaco beach area (5 min drive)

Very nice hotel for family vacation.
iris
Stayed here for 2 nights as a family of 4. The grounds were exceptionally beautiful. You are surrounded by lush gardens within the hotel. Definitely feels like youre in a quiet area not busy Jaco which I loved. The food was okay, but breakfast was cold the day we had continental breakfast. Staff extremely friendly and the pool and overall hotel was clean. The shower though wasnt working properly even after notifying staff. They tried to fix it but never could get the shower water to stay a normal temperature. It was either very cold or very hot and burned ourselves a couple times. Id still stay there again if in the area.
Christe
The place is so beautiful, it’s like they just plopped a hotel in the jungle! It’s so peace and serene, a definite must stay if you’re in Jaco! Staff was wonderful
WILSON BEITA
We are frequent guests at this hotel, and it never fails to impress. Nestled in lush natural surroundings, it’s beautifully framed by tropical fruit trees and vibrant vegetation. The hotel’s pet-friendly policy is a big plus for us. The swimming pool is refreshingly cool, ideal for relaxing. One of the highlights is the spacious and comfortable room, which always makes us feel at home. The sounds of nature at dusk and dawn are simply spectacular, adding to the peaceful, immersive experience we keep coming back for.
Jonas
Perfect spot
This hotel is amazing! So beautiful, in a garden setting with a fantastic large pool oasis area. The bar and restaurant have attentive and friendly staff, and great decently priced food and drinks! Our room was HUGE, nicely appointed, AC worked great. I would stay here again (and again…)

Beautiful Facility with Friendly People
We loved the hotel. My wife and I were there for 3 nights as part of a combination business trip/vacation. The staff was wonderful, including great recommendations for restaurants. The facilities are very clean and beautiful. The best part of the stay is the beautiful grounds. It is a lush jungle with monkeys and birds, as well as beautiful flowers. The furnishings are pretty basic--older but functional pieces. The beds are very firm. As we were working remotely in the mornings, WiFi was important. It was pretty reliable, but sometimes dropped for a minute or two. It is very secure, with gates keeping out anyone who shouldn't be there. The included breakfast was quite good. My only negative was a lack of consistent hot water. I'm not sure if we were sharing a water heater with another room, or what the issue was. But each shower, hot water lasted only a couple of minutes--just long enough to soap up--and then turned cold. But overall, it's a beautiful facility with friendly people. Highly recommended.
Travis
The pool area is awesome, the room very comfortable.
David
This place is a little oasis away from Jaco (5 minutes) Lots of birds in the morning and a friendly staff. Great pool, but hot tub doesn’t work. We’ve stayed here three times in the last 12 months and always easy and clean.
Edwin
This place was awesome in every way… service, the grounds, the pool, the restaurant and breakfast. A hidden gem this place.

I didn’t know what to expect. It was very quiet. Not much to do on site. I wish the restaurant was ooen for dinner. Front staff girls were delightful and helpful with booking excursions. Also for recommendations of local restaurants. Room was huge. We enjoyed the property cats. Tell coquetta hello!’
Tina
The grounds were beautiful. Saw howling monkeys. The staff was very responsive to inquiries. It was not within walking distance to anything but was a 15 min Uber ride to town
Nick
The property was really nice, if you like being in the rainforest. Lots of wildlife, there were many bats that lived outside our door. We saw monkeys, cats, birds, etc. on the property. I could do without all the spiders and bugs, but I understand that the appeal of the place is to be immersed in the tropics. Just be mindful of that. But overall stay was pleasant and the staff was amazing, very friendly and accommodating.
Isaac
Excellent. We will comeback.

Me and my friends loved our stay at this hotel. It was the best hotel we stayed at in Jaco. If you love being surrounded by nature check this one out. The pool is beautiful and the staff is very friendly, helpful & welcoming. The rooms are also spacious and they have a gated parking lot, so less worries about leaving your car parked at night.
Beverly
I really appreciated the front desk staff. Although everyone did their part.
George
King size bed! Which is really fitting for a “cabana” as palatial as this place. The room was absolutely stunning, with a private patio out front. We were floored at how nice it was. The pool was wonderful too, pretty large, warm, and with a little waterfall. The city of Jaco was around the corner and walkable if you’re so inclined. Which you’d need to visit for at least lunch since they only serve breakfast and dinner. We did not have dinner and would say the light continental breakfast was average if not a little lacking. And we’re still surprised that a country that prides itself on coffee doesn’t have a big pot brewing early (6am?) for the “early birds” that are up at the crack of dawn. Overall, highly recommended- would have loved to stay a few more days.

Relaxing Stay in a Beautiful Environment
The hotel is in a beautiful setting and our suite was spacious and private. The restaurant is quiet, delicious and fairly priced. The spa and yoga area is only open on appointment, and that was a bit of a disappointment. The pool is really nice. Loaner bikes were a nice touch.
Abigail
This was the second time my husband and I have stayed at this beautiful location. The first was our honeymoon in 2011. From the welcoming staff at the front desk to the attentive and kind staff in the restaurant, we always feel well looked after. The grounds are gorgeous and meticulously maintained. I use a walker and the paved pathways are fabulous!
The front desk staff helped us to coordinate with one of the local tours & the restaurant staff really took care of us (quick with the Imperial refills! LOL).
Thank you, DoceLunas - you are a treasure!

Would not stay here again. Place was very very old and hasn’t been updated. Shower don’t work, flooded the whole bathroom. Front desk never texted when the room was ready although they said they would. One plus is that it is gated and you need to be waved ib by the guard but they never checked if we were actually staying at the hotel. Def skip this place and find somewhere better.

Beautiful and tranquil property away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Has a beautiful garden and pool. We woke up early to see the capuchin monkeys swinging around the trees. We loved our large room and bathroom. We ate at the restaurant and it was pretty decent food.

Huge rooms ... Breakfast could be better.
The rooms are big, the bathrooms are bigger. The swimming pool is fantastic and there are plenty of trees on the property. The in-room coffee is good. Two issues I had (1) the free breakfast has very limited options. (2) we had booked two rooms and both had showers that leaked water in the bathroom.
FYI there are lots of cats and a dog on the property so if you don't like cats this place is not for you.

I have been to Jaco in the past and typically hate it, but when staying here I enjoyed my stay in Jaco. It is located about a five minute drive from downtown Jaco, but its worth the drive because this place is set up in a heavily wooded and landscaped area. The pool was awesome, with color changing lighting and a mini waterfall. Hearing both the morning and evening sounds here was priceless. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice property!

The grounds of the property are beautiful. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The pool is a good size, great jacuzzi and wild monkeys visit to eat the fruit from the trees around the pool. The rooms are clean and big - the lighting in our room wasn’t the best - but everything else was amazing. We had breakfast included, and it was very tasty. We would definitely stay here again. It’s a great deal, close to everything but feels very secluded.

The property was beautiful! We loved seeing the monkeys, toucans, frogs, and other wildlife around the pool area. The resort was well kept, and we felt very safe with the gated entrance (There was always staff by the gate to let us in and out of the property).
It was very close to the beach as well, a 5 minute drive. I recommend eating at Jaco Sabor just down the street

We had a wonderful time watching toucans and capuchin monkeys by the pool! Very friendly staff.

I wish we could have stayed here longer! We arrived at SJO at nearly midnight and didn't get in until after 1am, but it was no problem. I had arranged a private driver to bring our family through the front desk and he was right there waiting for us with a sign with our name and drove us in a clean private van. One of the resident kitties greeted us and we were shown to our room not quite realizing how gorgeous the grounds are in person. Awaking the next morning, what a treat! The grounds are lovely, we had their delicious Tico breakfast (teens approved!), and were delighted to have the wildlife show come right to our view as we ate: white faced monkeys in the trees right in front of us, iguanas, etc. The room was great and easy for our family (2nd floor, no elevators so FYI about that), the whole resort was quiet, clean, the pool so refreshing, the staff extremely helpful. Keisha helped multiple times - from helping answer questions over email and WhatsApp before we arrived, arranging our private drives to/from SJO, to helping order dinner to be delivered from a local restaurant since we just wanted to stay in their paradise and the hotel restaurant was closed. We didn't need a beach resort coming from Los Angeles, so the jungle/tropical surroundings were perfect for us. 2 adults & 2 teens give this hotel all the thumbs up! Thank you for taking care of us and we hope to return!

Beautiful, tranquil hotel grounds.

This place is really special. It's as if they built a botanical garden first and then put a charming hotel inside of it. Great staff, clean premises, delicious food, and away from the noise and commotion of the beach, but walkable to it in 25 minutes. Quiet and serene place, highly recommended!

My husband and I came her for our honeymoon, and let me tell you. It was PERFECT. There were a few key things I was looking for and this hotel aced all of them. 1) I was worried about bugs (I know bugs are unavoidable outdoors but I just wanted to know none were in my bed). Docelunas provided incredible clean rooms. 2. Easy check in/friendly staff: we arrived a little late cause we got lost coming from the airport and the staff greeted us right away. Had a smile on their face every time we saw them, and were extremely patient with our poor Spanish speaking. 3. I wanted a room that felt like Costa Rica and didn’t feel super commercial. This cute hotel is just outside of the main downtown, it’s quiet, and the ambience is unbeatable. You truely are in the forest with all the wildlife and beautiful sounds.
10 out of 10 recommend staying here. It exceeded all of our expectations.
Also the cats and puppy running around. Are super friendly and hard not to want to adopt.

Great stay, peaceful but close to Jaco when required
Cecilia
Staff are friendly. I loved the pool area because you can swim and watch the monkeys play. Rooms are big and very clean. When I go back I plan to stay there again
Suzanne
We loved staying here. The staff were so friendly, the grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the pool is gorgeous. We were very sad to leave and hope to go back one day.
STEPHEN
The grounds were lovely and peaceful. Suggest Humming Bird feeders.
Sherry
The staff were extremely pleasant, personable and helpful. The property is gorgeous with colourful lush gardens and a beautiful spa worthy pool. Our room was very clean and spacious! Great way to start our trip in Costa Rica!
Andrew
Loved that it was quiet, just 2 or 3 minutes drive from the main strip but away from the bustle. The grounds are gorgeous and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food was great but their cocktails were just a little sweet for my taste. All things considered, would probably go back next time I'm in Jaco

nice pool, nice staff, nice living in jungle
Halie
Beautiful hotel and perfect for animal lovers. We really loved the staff ( Angel, Carmen, Keshia and Jordan) at the front desk. Maria and Raquel make excellent meals and the serving staff Jorge, Daniela and Frank were very welcomimg. The garden staff and housekeepers all take pride in their duties. We would recommend the stay. A short drive from the beach but you feel like you are in the jungle with many exotic flora and fauna to see.
James
Outstanding facilities!! The birds, plants and wildlife in the area were outstanding. The staff were great. Will try to comeback for sure !!!

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids; 12 years old) stayed for one night at DoceLunas and loved it!
The pool is spectacular and the grounds are a beautiful bouquet of jungle and flowers. The staff were very helpful, spoke great English and you’ll be greeted by the hotels pooch and numerous sweet cats. The hotel is near the end of a road in a neighborhood which you can explore by bikes supplied by the hotel.
There’s a 24 hour security guard at the gated entrance and we felt very safe.
The rooms were great; large, comfy beds, and very private. The breakfast was incredible! You won’t be disappointed!

It was off season , so I think there were only 3 other families there. Very nice and quiet. There is a family of monkeys that live on the property. The front staff always taking care of us.
Katja
Beautiful property with great staff and amenities. The rooms were aging but were enormous. The potted plants inside may have been the source of a few large insects that staff were helpful to remove. Gorgeous property
