Jaco Beach ratings & reviews

What our students said about Jaco Beach

Jacó beach is great – even if you don't surf, the waves are fantastic. There is also plenty to see and do in the area. It is quite touristy, which is unfortunately reflected in the prices – the price level is quite similar to that in Germany. But there are lots of good restaurants and shopping opportunities. And there is also plenty to explore in the area.

5.0Kerstin Germany

This is a tourist village, but in November it was empty until the American holidaymakers arrived for Thanksgiving week... Everything revolves around these Americans, so prices are high, even at the supermarket... Security is tough for me. Don't walk alone after 17:30 (sunset). In the evening, you can eat well and go out.

5.0Virginie Germany

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.

5.0Katharina Germany

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 :)

2.0Dana Germany

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)

5.0Livia Switzerland

It's an ugly place, but the beach is beautiful, you can buy everything you need and it's very safe.

5.0Ludwig Germany

Touristy and a bit dirty, but overall ok and centrally located for excursions.

4.0Rouven Germany

Academia Tica

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.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.
