Jaco Beach ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience
What our students said about Jaco Beach
As a city, it is not very interesting (as is the case with other cities in Costa Rica), but the beach is quite nice and there is a lot to do around it. Jacó is also a good starting point for other towns/beaches/parks.
It's okay, but rather expensive (all of Costa Rica) and has a lot of men whistling after you ... Very hot and lots of rubbish on the streets. It was good for the time, but I wouldn't go there again now :)
Night life is very popular. The beach is ok, but there are nicer ones. It is difficult to swim in the sea, but good to surf (waves). It's very hot in Jacó Beach! (In June, by all means)
Touristy and a bit dirty, but overall ok and centrally located for excursions.

The teachers are always in a good mood, there is always a great atmosphere in the school and although the lessons are sometimes relaxed you learn a lot. The afternoon trips are very expensive, but the free cooking classes were great.
