Review of Villas Jacquelina in Quepos, Costa Rica
Location: The location was OK…it outside the city of Quepos, which we thought would help with noise (not the case). Whenever we wanted to go in to Quepos or Manuel Antonio we had to pay $3.00 for a taxi plus $1.50 for a half hour bus ride. It is not near any groceries or food without walking 15-20 minutes. We could have walked to town but it was too hot during the day and not sure about safety at night…so we always took a taxi. Accommodations: It was simple, a bed and a night stand. No a/c but an overhead fan that works pretty well. The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were flat. The air flow was good and the sheets were clean. Each day our room was cleaned and it looked nice. The windows don’t shut securely so anyone could break in at any moment. We weren’t super worried about break ins because we were outside of the city, but the owner did tell us he was robbed once. The showers were OK, the first night we had freezing cold showers because no one told us about a switch we had to flip, so the second night we got hot showers because we flipped the switch, and then the third night (even though we had the switch on) no hot water would come out. The bathroom was shared. It was clean, however, there was no toilet paper on the third day. As for noise, the mornings were loud…screaming babies, loud children, people talking, birds squeaking…there really isn’t much sleeping after 6am. Price: Over priced at $40 a night. Hard to cancel. We tried to cancel 1 of the 3 nights (with 2 days notice, per their rules) once we saw the location, but the owner gave us a hard time. Overall not worth what we paid. Recommendations: Don’t stay here. It's not located near any stores or food. You have to pay to get a taxi to the bus stations. On our way in to Manuel Antonio we saw accommodations for Manuel Antonio Backpackers…we wish we had stayed there, good location, in a nice area, across from a supermarket and according to their website private rooms, hot showers, etc for $35 a night. Also right next to the bus stop.
