Hotel Cocal sits right on Jacó beach and mixes lodging with a casino, pool, restaurant and bar. Guests single out the elegant facilities, spacious and comfortable rooms and the hotel's security; the casino has its crowd, and the staff gets praise for being friendly. The restaurant adds points too: the food turned out better than one visitor expected, at reasonable prices, and it faces the sea. There are oceanfront rooms, poolside rooms, junior suites and a deluxe two-bedroom suite, with rates from $150 a night, taxes included.
The mood is a hotel with nightlife, and it is not for everyone: one visitor warns that the atmosphere is strong, that it is not advisable to bring kids or a partner, and suggests keeping a close eye on your belongings. It is on Calle Cocal, a few steps from the center of Jacó and the beach.
Rates published by the hotel, taxes included, based on double occupancy (additional person $15 on the suites). They depend on the season and the day of the week; the site also advertises rooms from $140 during the week and $160 on weekends.
