10/10 Excellent
"This is a beautifully-crafted, very clean hotel. The staff are helpful and kind. Breakfast is cooked to order with beautiful trays of fresh fruit and excellent coffee. The grounds are lovely, and all around are huge, magnificent trees full of many birds. One one side of the hotel is a market, and on the order side is a very good restaurant. There are several beaches nearby, but my favorite beach is a short drive north in the wildlife refuge."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in El Jobo?
The best area to stay in El Jobo is directly along the beachfront, particularly near the main stretch of Playa El Jobo.This area offers direct access to the Pacific Ocean, where the main activities revolve around water sports, relaxation, and enjoying the natural surroundings. It's a relatively undeveloped area, so amenities tend to be concentrated within the resorts themselves.For couples seeking a romantic getaway, staying in a beachfront resort here provides privacy and convenience. You'll have direct access to the beach for walks at sunset, and many resorts offer private dining experiences with ocean views. The focus is on relaxation and enjoying each other's company in a beautiful, calm setting.Families will also find beachfront resorts ideal for the convenience they offer. With direct beach access, children can play in the sand and ocean under supervision, and many resorts offer organised activities suitable for various age groups.
When is the best time to go to El Jobo?
The best time to visit El Jobo, Guanacaste, is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.This period offers consistently sunny weather with very little rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. You can expect warm temperatures, typically ranging from 28°C to 34°C, and calm seas, great for swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding. It's also an excellent time for wildlife spotting, as animals are more active and easier to see near water sources.The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option for those looking for a balance between good weather and fewer crowds. While there might be occasional rain showers, especially in the afternoons, these are often brief and the landscape is much greener than during the peak dry season.
