Reviews of Hotel Amavi

Everything, the hotel is very clean in esch single aspect. The staff is unique, very kind and available for any request. Breakfast: you have 4 choice of breakfast, everything is prepared at the moment and it’s delicious. You have a pool where you can relax, a park for your car and the position is close to the centre and closer to the beach (100 mt from playa Jaco). They offer different kind of excursions, I kindly recommend to enjoy a surf lesson with Julian, he is very empathetic and a professional. The place is very relaxing and I kindly suggest you if you need a break from the city and from your life:) I’ll come back for sure in Jaco and once there I’ll stay again in hotel Amavi, for sure! Ah last but not least, price are very affordable !

What a pleasant surprise. We live in Nosara and were taking a road trip south for several days. We wanted to take a break on the way and found this Hotel. Unlike most of the dated and/or poorly designed hotels in the Jaco area, it appeared to have character and style, exactly what we like in hotel. Everything exceeded expectations. The place is really cute. The rooms were well thought out and designed, and the beds incredibly comfortable. The staff was incredible, attentive, funny, and engaging. Parking easy and right there. Great pool and bar, too. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely stay here when back in Jaco.

Liked everything

Sooʻ sweet@ lovely painting and paintings. Lovely pool.

If you’ve ever dreamed of diving straight from your hotel room into a vibrant pool, sipping cocktails designed by a mixology wizard, and falling asleep in a bed that rivals any five-star resort—@Hotelamavi in Jaco, Costa Rica, should be at the top of your list! Anneth, part of Hotel Amavi’s all-star-team, had our room ready by noon so we could prep for our Explorer Tour with @toura.global. After returning, still buzzing from the day’s adventures, we did what any sane person would do: jumped right into the warm pool. The in-pool lounge chairs? Game changer. The direct pool-and-bar access from our room? Iconic. Fofo, Amavi’s fabulous bartender made me a drink I’ll be ordering again and again: The Riddle-tropical, tangy, refreshing cocktail. It’s bright, a little flirty, and goes down dangerously easy. Priced at $10, it’s worth every colón. Back in our cozy room, I indulged in all the @rawbotanicals products provided-handmade in CR-the star of the show: Mango Dream Cream. Yes, I will be buying it in bulk. Don’t judge! Climbing into what might just be the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, I had a moment of pure awe. Every detail in this hotel feels curated with love. If you’re a fan of HGTV’s #bettingonparadise you’ll recognize the signature style of Steph and Luke, the dream team behind Amavi. But trust me—seeing it on screen is one thing, experiencing it in person is next-level. I woke to birdsong (actual birdsong!), made myself coffee from the room’s custom coffee bar, and sipped it by the pool! ☕️ Hotel Amavi is more than just a place to stay—it’s a joyful, vibrant retreat that completely lives up to the hype. And the best birthday present ever? 4pm checkout!! 🎉 We will be back @hotelamavi-you’re like family now so you’re stuck with us!! ♥️

Loved this hotel! There are only a small number of rooms so it was very peaceful. The room was a great size with a really comfortable bed, and the pool and bar on your doorstep. The beach is only a couple minutes walk away - perfect for a swim, surf or catching the sunset! I also really enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere of this area of Jacó, exactly what I was looking for.

The location was great, the hotel is really unique and comfortable. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful with all kinds of different requests. Communication was also really good.

The cleaning staff were fantastic and the actual room was really clean, the only thing I felt was that the bathroom although clean could have done with a good base clean as it was just looking a bit tired. Overall though this didn't affect my perception of the hotel.

They gave us a selection of milks to choose from when we checked in so we can have coffee how we like it in the morning, which we drank while in the loungers in the pool. Very stylish and chic! Just a 2 minute walk from the beach so was able to go back and forth from the beach to the pool. Very comfy bed and bedding in an air conditioned oasis.

A nice place next to the beach! It’s spacious and clean. And reception was very friendly and gave us a good tip where to eat.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the design & amenities have been chosen thoughtfully and are from a higher standard that I have seen in CR so far. The layout, happy colors, the location of the bar and also the staff provide a perfect mix of happiness, good vibes & tranquility. The rooms are beautiful, the bed is very comfortable and especially the receptionist Anneth helped us with anything we needed and was very forthcoming. She helped with ordering food, laundry service, booking a horse riding tour on the beach and connected us to their wonderful and extremely professional surf guide Julian. The two wonderful guys at the bar made fantastic drinks & juices, helped with my luggage, played great music and were always up for a good conversation. It’s a 2 min walk to the beach and just perfect. I liked it so much that I rearranged my trip & came back for 3 more nights! We had a lovely stay and I would come back any time! ❤️

Clean, comfortable, very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful pool

Wonderful experience! Great location, about a 3-minute walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. The town was about a 20-minute walk away, which wasn't bad. The hotel itself was great, super clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the pool, which had a bar and small restaurant adjacent to it. The staff was amazing and super helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.

The bathroom was a little small with very limited countertop space, but that wasn't a big deal.

Very cozy hotel Cute little garden Confortable bed and pillows Close to the beach (3’ walk) Coffee and milk for free

Can be a little bit noisy as all rooms are near the pool/reception area and you can hear people talking

This hotel is amazing! The only 9 rooms are placed around the pool and in reality it‘s more beautiful and more private than on the pictures. The rooms are very nice equipped with comfortable beds and furnitures. The bed linen is excellent and consists of a completely wrapped inlay and good pillows. The mattresses are very comfortable. The air conditioning is very quiet. We had them running on „silent“ during the night. The team including the owners, the bartenders, the reception and the room service are very friendly and familiarly. They have good tips and suggestions for all concerns. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is located in a quiet area of Jaco. You can reach the center within a few minutes by bus, on foot or by car. The unique beach can be reached after approx. 100 meters along the road with very low traffic, on which the hotel is located. We felt so comfortable for 16 days that we would have loved to stay or stay there again when we come back to Jaco.

Everything was perfect!

Very nicely decorated, good service, clean and good cocktails

Little privacy in the rooms as has both size windows and it would be great to have breakfast options in the hotel

The location was great. Within walking distance to the main part of town but away from the busyness and close to a beautiful beach.

Staff was great, helpful and friendly. Minutes from the beach, dining and adventure. Security at night, staff help with booking and reservation.

Shower head leaking, cosmetic maintenance like umbrellas, chairs around the pool.
