Ela Kosher Hotel & Synagogue

What locals are saying about Ela Kosher Hotel & Synagogue

What comes up most about Ela is the calm. Guests describe a quiet place with a very clean pool, nice rooms and covered parking, a short way from the beach. The service stands out too: the receptionist is praised from day one, and so is the owner, who deals with guests herself. One stay went wrong in detail: a family had to cancel because there was no card terminal and the cook was covering reception; the same guest would have liked to know beforehand that the hotel observes Shabbat. It is worth confirming payment methods and Shabbat hours when booking.

The hotel also works as a synagogue and Jewish center, with a kosher restaurant on site. It is in central Jacó, 50 meters west of Super Pali. Rates on its booking engine start around US$95 a night plus taxes for a double room and go up in high season; one guest suggests reserving parking early for the end of the year.
