Pool, breakfast with a view, and AMAZING staff!
What a pleasant surprise! We enjoyed HSB so much that we came back for an extra night at the end of our trip. No frills, but steps from the beach with a beautiful pool, fantastic kitchen, and the BEST service in the bar/restaurant. This will be a go-to for us on future trips, as it was an easy ride to SJO as well.

Disliked: Amenities
Likes: staff, ocean, watching surfers, good breakfast, National park with sloths 1 hour away for $128 each - pick up at hotel. Shuttles on time!, beautiful pool and vegetation. Dislikes: Damp and stringy towels were provided every day Beach made of dirty dirt and rocks, uncontrolled humidity in rooms, loud thumping music from bar after 10pm. No fun shops in town. High prices on food and drinks. ( beer $7, well drink $12-13! Small bottle of Jack Daniels $76!!! That’s USA money my friends!). Early November not good for USA. Too many loud teens coming off beach area. ATM in town was broken. Hard core beach leaches who tell you they take credit cards but don’t and the word NO is not in their vocabulary. Hotel said they were not responsible but lots were out there waiting for prey. Like the Atlantic side, the Pacific side had lots of razor wire fences and the total decor was prison like. Once in awhile you spotted a nice house or hotel but most were like South Africa’s tin shacks for the blacks. This was supposed to be a relaxing trip but proved to be the opposite. We are avid travelers in the mid to low ‘70s range. We have been to over 35 countries and 5 continents and I’m sad to say that this was one of the worse. Forget cleanliness

Second time staying at Hotel South Beach. Perfect location if you want to get out an explore other areas. Not on the strip. But 10 min walk on the beach and your there. Or 15 min walk on the road. The hotel is in good shape and the rooms are clean. The staff are the best part. As they are friendly, informative and just good people. Will stay again.

Perfect hotel for beach / bar / pool / surf.
This is a gem in South Beach, the best beach in Jaco. I really enjoyed the resort-like atmosphere. Staff is friendly, attentive and professional. This was better than my expectations but I love Pura Vida already.

A bit outdated hotel right on a beach. Every member of the staff is very helpful, nice and friendly. Easy 15 minutes of walking distance to Jaco. Beach is beautiful but ideal for surfers not so much to swim. Wildlife is around. Great location. Planning to comeback. P.S. I would only suggest to work on breakfast menu ( same two options all the time) and menu in general.
