財産 — Cadillac Rock
Cadillac Rock is a straightforward 3-star hotel on Jacó's main strip, a block from the beach. The lobby is open-air, tiled, and smells faintly of salt and chlorine from the small pool out back. It suits budget-conscious surfers or couples who want basic comfort and zero fuss, not luxury. The USP is location: you're steps from the waves and the town's bars and sodas, so you trade quiet for convenience.
Jacóの歴史
Jacó was a tiny fishing village until the 1970s, when the coastal highway and surf tourism put it on the map. It grew fast and chaotically, with few planning controls, so the architecture is a jumble of corrugated-roof sodas, concrete hotels, and souvenir shops. Today it's Costa Rica's most developed Pacific beach town, known for consistent surf breaks, a buzzing nightlife, and a mix of ticos and foreign residents. It wears its touristy identity openly, without pretence.
