• Luis Diego (10/5): - Nice rooms, very clean and spacious, the staff is friendly, the food is nice.
• andy (4/5): - It has a sports bar, but they play very loud music and the room are right above the bar area. The loud music did not stop until 1`2:40 in the morning.

• Christopher (10/5): - Great time
• Mark (10/5): - Rosie is a very good manager of the property
• Jony (10/5): - Beautiful bartender, good service, good food , good place to watch sports!
• wesley (6/5): - Property is clean and close to beach and other dining. Rooms are above bar and the music is loud until 2:00 am. While I was staying in room 10 the a/c only worked the first day of 3 night stay, television remote would not control volume. There is not any useful amenities in the room refrigerator, iron and ironing board. There are better choices for similar money in the area.
• Jeff (2/5): - PROS: AC works great Safe and TV included Near the beach and shopping strip, and many tourist tours CONS: Can hear everything outside of the room, loud bar Thin "blankets" No mini fridge or coffee maker Bad wifi that disconnects often No body soap or shampoo/conditioner included No hair dryer Can't lock bathroom door No turndown service (no cleaning, taking out trash or new towels for multiple day stay) No ice maker
• Charlie (10/5): - The people were fantastic, the beach was close by and the drinks and food were the best!!!
• Bryce (8/5): - The manager has things under control and the breakfast is 5 star food.
• john (6/5): - First if all, it’s a great location with free parking. For $104, not worth it. Loud, no shampoo, horribly expensive for what you get.
• john (8/5): Loud and expensive - Good location and free parking, but loud as heck with no toiletries for $100 per night.
• James (10/5): - Within walking distance to everything.
• michael gerard (10/5): - Good place to stay and very friendly staff.
• Michael (8/5): - Close to everything, and the Bar and the pool are fun .
• Antony (10/5): - It's was good great service niece people
• Stephen (10/5): - I like the central location
• John (10/5): - Rosie the manager is a professional and makes sure everyone isnhappy
• Aaron (10/5): - Love this place. Simple as that. For someone new to the area security makes you feel safe and does thier job well. The rest of the staff was friendly as well including the awesome bar staff. Its a really convenient location.
• corey (10/5): - Excellent staff
• michael gerard (10/5): - Friendly staff, very clean hotel that is a 2 minute walk from the beach. The noise level from the bar can be a bit loud at night but other than that I would recommend this hotel to others as a very affordable option for a stay in Jaco. 👍👍👍👍👍
• Casey (10/5): - Another great trip to jaco!! The Oz had a lot to do with that!! What a great location with everything you need!!! The staff was AMAZING!!! Shout out to Rosey and Danny!!! You are both incredible!!!
• Joseph (10/5): - Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great atmosphere.
• Latin (6/5): - Beautifully renovated Hotel and pool, looks fantastic and central to all restaurants and activities, my issue is the Oz really caters to young men with a bachelor crowd as the Disco blasts music by the pool till 2:00 in the morning and you really can't sleep, the hotel bar and restaurant served really good food but it's extremely expensive but so is everything in Jaco. The hotel check-in process can be annoying as the front desk was not always available on site and I know of a person who had to check out without any contact with Hotel management I think the hotel owners needed to shore up some issues and decide, make it clear what kind of Hotel they want to be and who they want to cater to, I'm not sure anyone over 40 should book a room here even though it's a beautiful hotel. lMO it's for young people. Know what your getting into.
• Anthony (10/5): Party atmosphere - Good spot if you’re trying to party or watch sports. Def leave the wife and kids at home lol. Staff is extremely accommodating, anything you need just ask and they’ll make it happen. 75% of the crowd here at any given time are Americans since most locals can’t afford it. They have 24/7 security too.
• Steven (8/5): - Food and drinks were great. Rooms were clean. 2 blocks from beach.
• John (10/5): - The bar staff is excellwnt, very helpful and friendly
• SHAYNE (6/5): - Didn’t like that there were no elevators. Carried luggage 3 flights of stairs. Breakfast take forever to prepare.
• Thomas (10/5): - Very nice staff and great location
• john (2/5): - The pool was clean. There was no refrigerator i. The room and there was no complimentary breakfast as advertised
• James (10/5): - The nicest people you ever met. Everyone at this facility was just outstanding. Will definitely stay again
• Pierre (10/5): Hooters Style Sports Bar and Hotel - If Hooters or Twin Peaks ran a hotel it would be the Oz Hotel and Sports Bar. Honestly,I chose this hotel because of the Sports Bar and the TV's I wanted to be able to watch the NBA All Star Game. All of the bartenders and waitstaff are very friendly and helpful. The office to check in is inside the bar. Rosie is the manager but when I arrived late evening on a Friday she was gone. One of the bartenders checked me in no problem. To me the hotel gives more of an airbnb vibe. You are given a code to unlock the door to your room. The room was spacious but kinda had a weird design. This hotel is in the perfect walking distance to Cocal about 10-15 minutes and if you decide to bring a friend back they will hold their ID and also charge you a $10 convenience fee. There are cameras everywhere so I always felt completely safe. The beach is literally a 3-5 minute walk. Everything in Jaco is expensive. I've seen reviews complaining about the price of the food and they're not wrong however, their food prices are on par with every other establishment in Jaco. Not to mention there's a cheaper taco joint across the street and a pizza place on the corner that stays open late. I personally spent a lot of time at the bar watching sports and everything I ordered was good. I would definitely stay here again next time I’m in town.
• John (8/5): - Staff was most attentive, but no hot water and not many outlets in the room
• Anthony (6/5): - This Property has no elevator. If you get placed on the top floor be prepared to get your exercise in. The waitress gave us menus and never returned to ask what do we want. Won't be staying there again.
• Np (10/5): - I've stayed here multiple times. The manager, ROSIE. Insures everyone is having a great experience. Always the live sports w great music, All the time. Hot food as well. I never delt w any attitude. ALWAYS SERVICE WITH A SMILE
• Joshua (8/5): - The room itself wasn’t bad (although extremely bare like no shampoo, only 1 towel, etc) but it was insanely noisy from the bar downstairs. Also, the combination to access our room was absurdly easy and a similar pattern likely would have given us access to any other room.
• jason (4/5): - Noisy
• david (6/5): - location is good. walking distance to the beach 100-150m. close to main street for shopping, food, etc. rooms are outdated. no mini fridge, phone(not a big deal for most), not enough electric plugs and no usb charging plugs. no bed side lamps. rooms were clean as was the hotel in general. bed was comfortable. shower had good water pressure and temp. this place is more a bar with a hotel attached than a hotel. noisy because of than but is quiet after 1230am. room i was in had a balcony, small but usable. AC and fan worked well with out being too noisy. food was fine but expensive, $10 for a plate of fries, $20 for 3-4 cups of coffee, toast and OJ. would not recommend for families but great for a trip with friends. A bit expensive for what it is.
• TIMOTHY (10/5): - Super fun!
• Charlie (10/5): - Everything was simple
• Tim (10/5): - The team at Oz was outstanding. The bar is a true sports bar, tv’s everywhere. Rose and her staff were more than accommodating. I will be back
• louis (10/5): - Room was very clean, staff was great. Location was in the center of everything u needed. Would stay again.
• Kelly (8/5): - This place was awesome! There’s a bar right in
• Scott (8/5): - The manager and staff were great !
• Steven (10/5): - People are very friendly at the hotel and bar Cleanliness is great safety also. Very good. I feel very comfortable, staying and eating at this establishment
• Jim (10/5): - Rosie, Kelvin and all the staff are the best! They make sure everything you need is available. Food is delicious! Middle of downtown area so lots of things to do!
• Justin (10/5): Best staff in town - The staff is the best in town. I’ve visited Jaco a couple times and Rosie has the best! The location is perfect and you can park on site. Is it a 5-star.. no.. you shouldn’t visit Jaco if that’s what you’re looking for. I’ll be back in September! One upgrade suggested, they need a fridge in the rooms.
• Richard (8/5): Overnight stay in Jaco - Close to the beach and always have good service there
• Felipe (10/5): - It was great
• Gregory (10/5): One Big Family - The experience was five star because of Rosie and the amazing work she does with her staff. Seeiuosly, I have stayed at many five star resorts with great service, but here guests are family and it shows.
• Vance R (10/5): - Nice size clean rooms, great staff, great food!
• Russell (10/5): - Amazing staff great property would highly recommend
• Michael (10/5): - The staff were very helpful and welcoming. We had a fun time at the sports bar.
• Brian (4/5): - Well everything was ok but the checkin. No idea where to go as the office was in the bar area. I talked to a worker there showed her my confirmation reservation an she asked someone else and she kept saying full. Then she directed me across the street no reason. Luckily i had my costa rican friend call the office with her cell phone because mine doesnt do calls in costa rica an get things squared away. That particular night every hotel was sold out an that chance i could have been sleeping in my car even though i had the room booked!
• Pierre (10/5): - I loved everything and everyone. Will be back. Pierre
• Donovan (10/5): The Perfect Hotel and Sports Bar - Excellent accommodations. Spacious room, great service, wonderful helpful staff. Location perfect for beach, restaurants, nightlife, shopping and sightseeing activities. Consumate sports bar for the sports enthusiasts. Rosy/Gaby and crew exceptional and welcoming. You’ll feel at home the minute to enter their establishment-kudos, kudos. Have stayed at multiple hotels in Jaco. This is now, the only hotel I’ll ever book in Jaco. Only negative, breakfast not included.
• Arlene (10/5): - My boyfriend and I had a great experience in OZ. The staff is amazing. We went for my bf bday/ NYE and I gotta say we had a great time at the bar. They took really good care of us and even sang HBD before the new year. Rosie and Gaby were so sweet and attentive to whatever we needed. The room was great. AC/TV and spacious. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a great experience in Jaco Costa Rica :) from SD California
• Tam (8/5): Good Place for Partying. - Great place to stay if you're single or couple but definitely not a good place for family or business. Overall the personnel were friendly and helpful.
• Richard (8/5): Great place to stay. - Excellent location. Newly renovated. Excellent air-conditioning. Friendly staff.
• Charles (10/5): Excellent!! - Hotel Sports Bar Oz is an absolutely great place to stay. It is super clean, the sports bar is amazing with great food and service... The staff is second to none. I love everyone of them. Rosie runs and outstanding establishment. 12 rooms that are super clean with great AC. The rooms are all upstairs with no elevator and you will walk up 3 or 4 sets of stairs to get to your room, so take that into consideration. On site security all night. I will be back.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Clean but very Basic. - Very Basic. Yes…..clean, but no amenities and the most lethargic toilet flush I have ever experienced in my life.
• Christopher Allen (8/5): - Don’t expect an upper end hotel if you stay here but the staff and location are awesome. Music can easily be heard from the rooms so if you want peace and quiet this probably isn’t your place. The food was really good. The staff bent over backwards to find college games for us. Overall I loved it.
• Arthur (10/5): Nice Hotel - This is a nice small hotel in the heart of Jacó. Just a short walk to the beach and Jacó Walk and many restaurants. Staff was very friendly. A great place to stay. Room was very comfortable.
• Joseph (10/5): Great week at Jaco Beach and OZ! - Easy check-in, friendly staff and great atmosphere! I would return to this hotel and recommend it to fellow travelers.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hidden gem and value. The room was perfect for the amount of time you spend in it. Everything worked great. Room was pool front, with a surprising great view of the Pacific Ocean! Location was great - steps from the beach and all of the entertainment Jaco has to offer. The best part of the property was the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, accommodating, fun and respectful. Thank you and great job!
• markeith (10/5): Perfect Sports Bar and hotel! - This place is awesome, very friendly staff, go out their way to accomodate your needs. Very clean hotel, perfect to stay on location with Sports Bar, down stairs. Come out the hotel take a right and you're a minute walking distance to the beach , or take a left and your on the main downtown road to everything you need. Perfect!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great staff, great foods s most of all great location.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked Rosie and her beautiful staff! Very good service and I will stay here again!
• Barrie (10/5): I will definitely be back. - OZ is a great place to spend an evening. The rooms are comfortable, and the bar downstairs is full of friendly people. I will definitely be back.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - OZ was spotlessly clean.
• DANIEL (8/5): - good stay for the single male traveler
• james (8/5): beach and sports - Great Sports Bar with all of the NFL and NBA games. within 50 yards of the beach. Within walking distance to variety of restaurants.
• Michael (10/5): Highly Recommended for A Party - Very friendly and professional staff went out of the way to make sure we were happy. Great place to go and have fun and make new friends. The manager was the best. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It was a little louder than I expected but no other downside.
• Dan (10/5): - Great hotel
• Verified traveler (6/5): clean, friendly, minor issues.... - This is a bit of a tough review to write... the staff was very friendly and tried to be helpful. The hotel was clean and the room was nice. the 2 things i wasn't a big fan of is the $100 deposit they require.. i have been to o many hotels up and down the jaco strip -- first time that happened. the biggest issue i had with then is the fact they are a 30 sec walk from the beach but they would not allow their towels to the beach, i had to go and buy beach towels from the mas-x-menos across the street from them.... personal i would not stay there again unless they were the last room avail. just didn't feel i had a "warm and fuzzy" stay --- but the place is very clean and the staff was super super friendly.....
• Jason (10/5): Happy - Nice place to stay by the beach
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location griendly staff and the room was very nice. I will definitely stay here again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Loved the room it was really clean et big. We had a problem with our reservation to another hotel , we were transfered there by Expedia. Hotel is perfect but not for family with kids. It’s noisy at night due to the fact that it’s a sportsbar with loud music all night . Pool is nice and employee are really helpful.
• Steven (8/5): Better than expected - Good for moderately priced, central location. Great staff, good food in the restaurant/bar. The rooms are quite nice and the private pool area with bar service very nice.
• JimmyB (10/5): - The Owner was amazing she helped us out with anything we needed, super friendly and the staff was great. See you again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Super central to the lively district. the personnel at the hotel were very sweet and helpful. the room was very clean and supplied everything we need. the pool was nice with beautiful weather there.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - What I like most about OZ is the nice people who work there
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not a traditional hotel - Since the 3rd party booking site offered a bonus night to give a review for this hotel, I thought I would try and give as fair of a review as possible. The hotel is not a traditional hotel where you walk up to a reception desk to check-in and would have the reception desk available 24 hrs hours a day for questions. You might have to wait a little while if the bartenders are busy. Pros - Location is within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Rooms are large and clean upon arrival. There is a large bar on the ground floor if you would like to watch some sports. Cons - Check-in process is odd by having to go to the bar and then to an office off the bar. Cancellation policies are not as flexible as typical good hotels. So be absolutely for sure of your plans before you book. The office has a sign which says No Refunds. There is no elevator and the rooms are only on the 2nd and 3rd floor. There was not a Do Not Disturb sign to hang on your door. The pool may not be what you expect if you are booking for a pool, although the beach is just down the street. Some minor maintenance items like some walls and ceilings needing repair. Hopefully this review was helpful and as fair as possible to help everyone out. If the hotel was to add a 24-hr customer friendly focused check-in desk, which answers the phone 24 hrs a day, with traditional cancellation policies then the hotel could have good potential.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect ubication to enjoy jaco beach and the best service for a tourist that want to be in a family environment,,, beautiful waitress and awesome food ,,, thanks to all team work ,,, come back soon
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great Spot! Nice, friendly staff. GREAT LOCATION, you’re right on the man drag and 1 block from the beach! I’d definitely stay there again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The bar was amazing with Beautiful and amazing women working
• Stephen (8/5): - Very relaxing experience. Hotel and bar staff were great. I will definitely stay here again.
• Joseph (8/5): Good spot close to the action. - Clean rooms, but basic. Gets the job done for what looking for. Walking distance to the hot spots. Did not try and food here just needed the beds. What I liked best is the privacy, I was able to go in and out without dealing with any staff which is a plus for me.
• Paul (10/5): Just one night - Will be back !!!!! Had a great night. Really liked my room. Thank you .
