Amavi is perfect for a retreat, family gathering, or freind get away. You can choose to have privacy in your room, but plenty of nice spaces for whole group to gather. Quiet, safe, and great location! The staff was the cherry on top. Matt was there to answer any questions and to book reservations, tours and massages. Chef Jonathan had great food, prepared on time with a variety of menu choices, and always had a smile on his face. Uranie the cleaning lady was on top of everything and willing to help with anything, and makes the best smoothies! We hosted our first yoga retreat here and it was the perfect space!
I booked Hotel Amavi for my bestfriends bachelorette trip and lets just say the bride was EXTREMELY happy and had the time of her life!! No complaints whatsoever.
Message from the bride:
Our stay at Hotel Amavi in Costa Rica was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, cared for, and completely safe. A special thank you to Matthew, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and memorable. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and always made sure everything was organized, from reservations to activities, so we could simply relax and enjoy our trip. As a bride celebrating such a special season of my life, feeling comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for made this experience even more meaningful. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the location made everything so convenient. I’ve already recommended Hotel Amavi to future brides visiting Costa Rica. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for making our stay so special! ❤️
Matt was an amazing host! His attention to detail was outstanding. A must stay in Jaco! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding Stay at Hotel Amavi — Matthew & Team Are Amazing!
Our stay in Jacó was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, Matthew and his entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Matthew is an exceptional host—friendly, attentive, responsive, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for his guests. The entire team carries that same energy. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating, and they went above and beyond to make our stay special. The hotel itself is beautiful, stylish, comfortable, and has such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The pool and bar area are fantastic, the rooms are thoughtfully designed, and the beach is just a short walk away. The attention to detail throughout the property really makes it stand out. What impressed us most, though, was the hospitality. You can tell Matthew and his team truly care about their guests. They created the kind of experience that makes you feel at home. Thank you !!
I haven’t written a review in years, but this one deserves the attention. Hotel Amavi was the PERFECT location for my friends and I (group of 12) on a peaceful and still enjoyable retreat to Costa Rica. Matt was above and beyond our expectations and although we were only there for a short time, we will definitely be returning again soon. If you’re thinking about booking, don’t think— just do. Everything is as pictured or even better. Pura Vida!
We had friends and family all fly out to Costa Rica for our wedding. This was the BEST experience we have ever had out of the country. Matt took such good care of us that he felt like family by the end of our trip. The chef was amazing, the decorations were amazing, the attention to detail and care for us was out of this world! If you ever want to have an event, throw a party, or even just come to a place to relax in Jaco Beach, AMAVI is THE only answer. When we inevitably come back, Amavi will definitely see us again! Pura Vida 🤙🏾
Amavi was the perfect place for our group to spend close to 1 week in the summer. The property is beautiful and is perfect for large groups to have some privacy while also having a large pool and bar area to share. The location is perfect, steps from the beach, a 2 min golf cart ride to the main strip, but secluded and quiet in case you’re looking to take it easy. Matthew the concierge is world class. He ties in the whole experience with his relentless commitment to service, focus on the guests’ experience, and ability to make it the most memorable and effortless vacation you’ve been on. If you’re looking into Jaco, there is no other option to consider besides Amavi!!
We had my Bachelorette Weekend Here and everyone loved Hotel Amavi! Absolutely stunning place! We all had our own bathroom and the used the rooftop to do yoga . We loved the bar and common area! Pool was clean everyone was friendly! And they helped us plan everything ! Definitely unforgettable stay. Recommend 11/10! And shoutout to Matthew for taking care of my girls and I! We all had a blast!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Amavi.
As the founders of Casa Somé, an intimate private dining experience centered around food, music, and meaningful connection, we chose Amavi as the venue for our official launch and it could not have been more perfect.
The space itself brought our vision to life. The beautiful design, warm atmosphere, and thoughtful layout created the exact feeling we wanted our guests to experience: intimate, elegant, and unforgettable.
Matthew and the entire Amavi team were exceptional. Their hospitality, responsiveness, and genuine excitement for our project made us feel supported every step of the way.
The evening was a huge success, with guests leaving as new friends and already asking when they would see each other again.
Thank you, Amavi, for helping create a night we will never forget. We look forward to returning very soon. 🖤✨
We loved our stay at Hotel Amavi! Matthew was an incredible host, great location and amenities. We loved that we all had our own private suites and house felt like a private compound. Was perfect for my bachelor party and would 10/10 recommend!
Hotel Amavi exceeded our expectations for the weekend! The airbnb was spacious and just as advertised, and Matthew went above and beyond has host, always responding and helping us with anything we needed throughout the weekend. Will definitely recommend to other large groups visiting Jaco and thank you for making the trip/experience one to remember!
This was the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. From weeks before our trip until we left Costa Rica, Matt, the concierge, was incredibly communicative, proactive, and helpful. He met us on arrival, gave us a tour, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay.
At his recommendation, we rented golf carts (a great call), and he helped arrange excursions, a breakfast chef, security, and our detailed grocery list upon arrival. For one excursion, he connected us with a guide he considered the best in the area. We had such a great experience that we got drinks with him afterward and still keep in touch.
The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of storage and individual AC units. The pool and bar area became our main gathering spot for meals, drinks, and sports. Our bachelor party included nine men, and every one of us agreed this was the best Airbnb experience we’ve had. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s the best way to experience Jacó Beach
Our stay at Hotel Amavi was absolutely incredible—we hosted our yoga retreat here and it exceeded every expectation. The space is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly designed for a group experience. It created such a special container for connection, relaxation, and practice.
Matthew was truly amazing. He went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed—from coordinating logistics to making sure our group felt comfortable and taken care of at all times. His attention to detail and genuine care made such a difference.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, the atmosphere felt safe and welcoming, and everything flowed seamlessly during our stay. Our entire group left feeling so supported and grateful.
If you’re looking for a place to host a retreat or just want a relaxing stay in Costa Rica, this is it. We would 100% come back.
Honestly, this is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The concierge was so responsive and helpful! The Airbnb was super clean with great amenities! It was perfect for my bachelorette. The Airbnb is beautiful! They went above and beyond with my bachelorette decor in the main bedroom. I felt like all my needs were met with above and beyond! I wish they had Airbnbs in other countries because I’d book them!
We rented Amavi for our family gathering. The place exceeded our expectations. It was the best part of our trip, having the whole space for us, relaxing by the pool, taking advantage of all the offered amenities, the beautiful rooms… Adding to that the amazing included services from security to cleaning. The ocean is one minute walk, so many nice restaurants at a walking distance and the farmers market nearby.
Lastly, what makes Amavi unique is the host amazing support! We were super lucky to meet Matthew, his support answering quickly our needs, the services and activities proposed, the flexibility and responsiveness are key.
We consider now having a connection whenever we are back to Costa Rica.
Beautiful property, great location, very comfortable stay, and concierge was phenomenal. Would definitely return!
Our stay at hotel Amavi could not have been better. First and foremost, the concierge Matthew went above and beyond to check in on us, provide any needs and help navigate Jaco. The excursions were amazing, highly recommend the atvs and catamaran tortuga island day. The property itself is set up beautifully. I came with 12 of my friends for my graduation trip and we all loved it. The set up is perfect for large groups. Also the pool party with the dj was incredible. Anything you could ask for, Matthew and the team at amavi took care of. We Will stay here over and over and over. Truly an incredible experience all around. You should absolutely stay here if you get a chance. 10/10. 5 stars. All don’t feel enough to cover how great this was. The chef is also the phenomenal. Overall no notes!
Matt and team were absolutely delightful. They were incredible hosts and went above and beyond to manage our experience.
The property was extremely clean, welcoming and amazing for bachelor party.
Matt helped to book, negotiate pricing and ensured the excursions and reservations we booked was only at the finest places with the best people!
We look forward to calling this property home again.
Thank you.
We had an unforgettable stay in Jaco with a group of 13, and this property exceeded our expectations. The setup was perfect for a large group, with 9 separate rooms so everyone had their own space, plus great shared areas to gather. The pool and common area became our main hangout spot and were ideal for spending time together. The location couldn’t be better — just a 2-minute walk to the beach and about a 10-minute walk to downtown, making everything super convenient. We also felt very safe throughout our stay thanks to the gated property. A huge highlight was Chef Johnathan, who was friendly, easygoing, and made incredible meals — especially his legendary steak night. He handled everything from shopping to cooking to cleanup, and every meal was perfectly on time. Matt, our concierge, was hands down the best amenity. He helped with every activity, gave amazing recommendations, and even coordinated and filmed a proposal. His service truly made the trip unforgettable.
Our group of friends stayed at Hotel Amavi for two nights and had an amazing experience. The hotel is clean and comfortable, with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for a group getaway.
The location is excellent—\*very close to the beach\* and close to everything Jaco has to offer, yet still quiet and peaceful. It was the ideal home base for our trip.
What truly made our stay stand out was the exceptional service, especially from \*Matthew\*. He was incredibly friendly, detail-oriented, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for us. Matthew was available at any time, responded within minutes, and always checked in to be sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His warm attitude and attention to detail made a huge difference and made us feel truly welcome.
We all felt very well taken care of and had a fantastic stay. Highly recommend Hotel Amavi for anyone visiting Jaco, especially groups of friends.
Our stay at Hotel Amavi was absolutely amazing! The location is great - 2 minute walk from the beach and there are several food spots nearby. The Air BNB itself was perfect for our family - great communal spaces and a very nice pool/kitchen. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Matt our concierge was very helpful and kind. Our family would be happy to go back!
This place is a gem. The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s great for large groups, tucked away on the residential side of town making it quiet but still close to the strip. Matt and Jessie were super responsive, made great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. They also booked us both an excursion and a private chef. Matt was there for both check in and check out and made the trip so much more memorable. When I make it back to Jaco I will be staying here again.
If you're dreaming of the perfect Costa Rican escape, look no further ❤️. From the moment we arrived, the warm, effortless hospitality put us instantly into vacation mode.
The property is stunning — beautifully designed, spotless, and perfectly blended with the natural surroundings. The rooms are spacious and serene, making it easy to relax and unwind.
What truly sets Amavi apart is the experience. From coordinating golf carts to arranging in-house massages and private yoga sessions, everything felt seamless. Having a private chef also elevated our stay.
Being able to have all my friends together in one gorgeous, private space made the trip unforgettable. We loved it so much, we even booked an extra night because none of us were ready to leave.
It’s truly the place to be. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
We had a great last minute booking in Jaco. Amavi was great for our multi generation family. Separate rooms, great pool and bar area, and plenty of seating. 150 steps away from the beach! Great walking beach and awesome waves that everyone had fun with! Definitely will recommend to family and friends.
Had an amazing stay here. The pool was incredible and made the whole experience feel like a true getaway. The service was excellent as well, very responsive and welcoming throughout our stay. Matthew made sure we were taken care of with anything we needed, from setting up our excursions and activities to having food and drinks delivered to us. The location is perfect, nice private spot right next to the beach and only a 5 minute Uber ride away from the main strip. Would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing spot.
Amazing stay in Jacó! This property (formerly Hotel Amavi) is set up like a boutique hotel, each room has a private bed/bath with locked access, some with kitchenettes and one with a sitting area. The pool was spotless and well maintained, and the outdoor bar/kitchen area is gorgeous and perfect for hanging out (TV, speaker, fans). It’s not a traditional indoor kitchen, but we had everything we needed: grill, microwave, 2 fridges, plus microwaves in rooms. We loved having a security guard 7pm–7am—super helpful and made us feel safe. Daily cleaning was wonderful and cleaning lady was so sweet. Location is unbeatable: beach is a 2-minute walk. Concierge Mateo was amazing—answered all our questions, sent vendor info, and responded immediately when we had a brief water issue. We left so sad to go. Highly recommend!
This place is a gem, very private and just a quick 3 minute walk to the beach. The concierge/manager, Matt, was very responsive and helped with everything from restaurants, clubs, and inexpensive activities. We also had a cleaner come to clean everyday and exchange the towels.
Beautiful place! Clean! Safe! Convenient location! Matthew was very responsive & helpful! We are really pleased with his prompt response! Maid was so sweet! Definitely we will look for this place again!
Amavi was everything I hoped it would be. The rooms are modern and comfortable and we loved being so close to the beach. All the staff were fantastic!! Highly recommend surf lessons with Julian on site. 10/10 recommend!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Amvai Hotel this past weekend. The property exceeded our expectations in every way. Its location is perfect — just a three-minute walk to the beach and a charming beach bar where we enjoyed authentic local food and breathtaking views.
From the start, Matt welcomed us warmly and went above and beyond to make our experience seamless. He helped arrange tours, organized a private dinner with Chef Jonathan, and even ensured we had groceries and beverages from local stores before and during our stay. His attentiveness made us feel right at home, and he was always just a call or text away if we needed anything.
The property itself is outstanding. The bar and pool setup made us feel as though we were at an all-inclusive resort. Each of us had our own space to relax, while still feeling close enough to gather and enjoy one another’s company.
One of the highlights of our trip was the dinner prepared by Chef Jonathan for our friend’s birthday celebration.
This place is BEAUTIFUL, it’s perfect for a large or a small group. The team is super quick is responding to message, I’m talking lightning quick. Any questions we had about literally anything Matthew was on it. He gave great recommendations for excursions, restaurants, you name it, he’s on top of it. We can’t thank the team enough for being such great hosts, we will def be back!
I can't describe how awesome this place is. Our concierge, Matthew communicated with me weeks before we came to Jaco to make sure we had everything we needed. He booked all of our tours for us with the best companies. Anything we needed he got for us. Whether it was groceries, food recommendations, tours, booking massages, He responded right away during our stay and got us everything we needed. A cleaning crew came everyday and all the rooms were spotless. It's two blocks from the beach with a bar/restaurant right down the street. The location felt safe - the whole place is surrounded by a fence with locks. The pool was perfect temperature. It really is the best place we could have gotten in Jaco and it's not even close. They really have everything figured out here. I will be back
We had an incredible stay at Hotel Amavi. The staff were amazing, the space itself was super fun and private, and the location was great. Definitely see us coming back again. 10/10 would recommend.
Incredible place! Very well located! Perfect for a retreat where you have everything you need at your figure tips! Solid vibes, great hosts! Definitely would stay here again!
Jessie and Matthew were awesome! They made sure we had everything we needed throughout the stay. We will be definitely be coming back and staying at this property!
Amavi is a wonderfully convenient and charming place to stay. The hotel is just a one-minute walk from the beach, which makes it perfect for morning strolls, sunset views, and easy access to all the seaside activities. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained.
Jessica/Matthew is an exceptional host — always helpful, responsive, and genuinely committed to making the stay comfortable. One of the highlights of our trip was the surfing classes arranged through Mathew with Julian — a must-try experience for anyone visiting.
Whether you’re traveling with family or a group of friends, Amavi is an excellent choice. It’s the perfect place to unwind, explore, and create great memories. Highly recommend
Amavi exceeded all expectations; perfect stay!
Amavi hotel was the perfect place for my 19 person joint bachelor/bachelorette party. Matt was incredibly responsive and helpful during the entire stay. It was easy to book any extras we needed and the hotel itself is so beautiful and unique. My bachelorette was a trip I’ll never forget
Place was perfect for our group of 8..
We had an amazing stay at Amavi!! Our concierge service with Matthew was top notch! Highly recommend!!
Our stay was simply exceptional.
, such a simple detail that when we arrived to check in, they gave us coffee while they gave us the rooms. The home exceeded all expectations: impeccable in cleanliness, with neat decor, and all the details thought out for comfort and well-being. The location is perfect, with easy access to everything you need, and the hostess was incredibly attentive and resolute, always available for any questions. Definitely a place we would go back to without thinking twice. Highly recommended!”
The place can be adapted to groups or just that you want to go with your friend, couple.. in a room a thousand stars, I had never been in such a nice place in Jaco and close to San José.
Something very important, is that throughout the night there is security, so you can go out without the
concern that the place is left alone.
Recommended for those looking for quality and comfort
