Hotel Lía arrives as a study in tropical restraint. Set in Jacó, along Costa Rica's central Pacific coast, the property channels the energy of its surroundings without competing with them. The architecture is modern and deliberately pared back, with clean lines, open-air corridors, and natural materials that let the heat, the green, and the salt air become part of the design. It is a boutique hotel built for travelers who want proximity to the ocean and the jungle without sacrificing a sense of intentional style.
The rooms at Hotel Lía are designed around comfort and simplicity, with contemporary furnishings, muted tones, and generous natural light. Many offer views of the lush grounds or the pool area, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor rhythm that defines daily life here. The pool itself serves as the property's central gathering point, a place where mornings begin slowly and afternoons stretch into golden hour without much persuasion. Surrounding it, landscaped tropical gardens create a sense of enclosure and privacy that belies the hotel's proximity to town.
Dining at Hotel Lía is rooted in the flavors of Costa Rica's Pacific coast. The on-site restaurant offers a menu that draws on local ingredients and Latin American culinary traditions, serving dishes that feel both grounded and considered. Whether it is a fresh ceviche at midday or something more substantial as the sun drops, meals here are unhurried and social. The bar extends the experience into the evening, with craft cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere that makes lingering feel natural.
Jacó itself occupies a compelling position on Costa Rica's coastline. The beach is minutes away, known for consistent surf breaks that draw both beginners and experienced riders. Beyond the sand, the surrounding area offers access to rainforest canopy tours, national parks, and wildlife encounters that speak to the region's extraordinary biodiversity. The town carries an easygoing energy, with local restaurants, markets, and nightlife that make it one of the more accessible and vibrant beach destinations along the Pacific. Hotel Lía sits comfortably within this landscape, close enough to everything yet composed enough to feel like a retreat from it.
What stays with you is the balance the property strikes between engagement and ease. Hotel Lía does not ask you to disconnect from the world around it. Instead, it offers a well-designed base from which to experience the coast on your own terms, returning each evening to something that feels both stylish and genuinely welcoming.

What we love about this stay
There's something quietly appealing about a place that doesn't try to be more than it is — Costa Linda sits just a few hundred metres from Jacó's beach, close enough that the sand feels like an extension of your stay rather than an excursion. The energy here is unhurried and grounded, the kind of property that suits travelers who want proximity to the coast without the noise of being right on it. A garden and pool give the space a sense of enclosure and calm, and the balcony with its garden view offers a small, private vantage point that makes the apartment feel more like a temporary home than a rental. It's the sort of place that rewards simplicity — you settle in, you breathe out, and Jacó unfolds at your own pace.

Sleeps 2 · 1 × 1 King Bed · 344 sq ft · regular
Step into a sanctuary where the rhythm of Costa Rica's Pacific coast sets the tone for every moment. Your king bed anchors the suite in effortless luxury — dressed in cool, high-thread-count linens that seem to exhale with the tropical breeze. Oversized pillows invite you to sink deep into stillness, while the soft amber glow of bedside lighting casts a warmth that mirrors a Jacó sunset already fading beyond your private balcony. Slide open the glass doors and let the shimmering turquoise of the pool below become your living painting. Morning light dances across the water and filters into your room, gently pulling you awake without urgency. From your balcony, a glass of freshly pressed fruit in hand, you watch the palm-fringed landscape stir to life — unhurried, lush, and entirely yours. At night, the illuminated pool glows a dreamlike blue beneath a sky dense with stars, visible from the comfort of your bed through open doors that carry in the soft chorus of tropical nightlife. Every detail — the cool tile underfoot, the whisper of the ceiling fan, the silhouette of the canopy beyond — is designed to dissolve the distance between indulgence and nature. This suite is perfect for couples seeking a romantic Costa Rican escape or the discerning solo traveler ready to rediscover the art of truly resting.

DEC 2025This place is just WOW!! The room was very clean, the staff was great and very friendly. The hotel is perfectly located right next to the beach you can have long and nice walks on the beach and admire the sunset. This was a great experience! Strongly recommend this hotel for vacation.
Guest
DEC 2025On our way to our resort we experienced an enormous amount of traffic and terrible weather.So we pulled over at this unexpectedly delightful spot. Great staff, incredibly clean , new rooms, with beautiful pool area, drinks, dining, coffee, beach parking and beach access...we are keeping this spot on our list 🤘
Guest
DEC 2025A friend recommended this new beachfront place to us, and the moment we walked in, we instantly fell in love. The view of the ocean, the soft breeze, the gentle music in the background; everything blends perfectly. Just close your eyes, and feel the energy of the place. It's like being caught in a moment of peace and beauty. That's what life is about... The staff are wonderful, the coffee, drinks are incredible, and the vibe… simply unforgettable. A place that feeds your soul. It's my favorite place in Jaco to hang out with friends, spending hours chatting and enjoying the view and the energy of the place.
Guest
DEC 2025Beautiful hotel in a prime location. You can tell the people who built this place really care about the guest experience. Right on the beach, beautiful views, great staff. Make it your next destination spot for a relaxing, breathtaking vacation!
Guest
DEC 2025We went here after our first hotel didn't work out (it turned out to be prostitute friendly). Lia is amazing, best experience we've had in Jaco. We were gooing to buy a condo, but plan to just keep coming back when we visit. It's brand new or at least top to bottom refurbished. Highly reccomended.
