WHERE TO STAYWhere to stay around Jacó
Jacó, Herradura and Playa Hermosa are only minutes apart, and most tours pick up across all three. Start from what you'll do most: walk to town, head out on boats, or chase waves.
Herradura is the bay for boat people, with Los Sueños Marina, charters and Tortuga Island departures on the doorstep. Jacó puts surf schools, tour meeting points and dinner within walking distance. The hillside between the two trades beach access for forest and views. Playa Hermosa suits experienced surfers who don't mind driving into town.
The hotels below are partner links. Rates and booking terms are set by the provider. Traveling as a family or group? A vacation rental with a kitchen can make early tour starts easier.
