Visiting Costa Rica in high season, it can be difficult to find a place to stay last minute. Here are some of our favorites for January.

Best Western Hotel on the main road, across from the bus stop. Expect to pay $70 per night or more per person in high season, but the facilities clean with a nice pool and is beachfront.

On the south side of town you can find a number of copying us, the south end of jaco, always more Tranquill and quiet evening in high season. Some of these cabinas are $40 or $50 a night, they are not as clean or touristy but a decent value.

At the north end of town you will find some of the nicer beachfront condos, including the Palms, Diamante del Sol and others. These are nearby the construction site for crocs Casino resort, a new project going up in Jaco.
