Jaco Beach Resort in Costa Rica — Jaco Laguna Resort, Our Sister Hotel
Our family operates a beach resort on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast — Jacó Laguna Resort, two hours from Hotel Majestad in San José. If you’re looking for a beach resort in Jacó to combine with your stay in the capital, or planning a week split between city and coast, you can book both properties as a coordinated trip.
About Jacó — Costa Rica's Pacific Beach Town
Jacó is the closest major beach to San José. It sits on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, about two hours by car from the capital and the SJO airport, and offers the combination most international travelers come to Costa Rica for: warm ocean water, long walkable beaches, surfing for all levels, and rainforest-covered hills rising directly from the coastline.
It’s a popular base for families, couples, surfers, and travelers who want Pacific beach time without committing to the long drive down to Manuel Antonio or Uvita. Jacó itself has restaurants, nightlife, and easy access to nearby national parks, waterfalls, and wildlife reserves.

Combine Both Hotels for the Full Costa Rica Experience
Most first-time visitors to Costa Rica want to see both sides of the country — the cultural, historic capital and the tropical Pacific coast. Hotel Majestad and Jacó Laguna Resort make that simple: one family, two properties, one seamless trip.
Suggested 7-day itinerary:
- Days 1–3: Hotel Majestad, San José. Historic Barrio Amón, downtown museums, Central Valley day trips (Poás Volcano, coffee farms, La Paz waterfalls).
- Day 4: Transfer to Jacó — 2 hours by private car. We coordinate the transfer.
- Days 4–7: Jacó Laguna Resort. Beach time, surfing, Manuel Antonio day trip, Carara National Park.
- Day 7: Return transfer to SJO airport (1 hour 30 min from Jacó).
Works equally well in reverse (start at the beach, end in the city) or as shorter 5-day combos. Tell us what you’re thinking and we’ll help coordinate dates and transfers between both properties.
