In-Depth Information
Le Loft
CLUB
The Loft is Jacó's sleekest nightlife venue, offering some much-needed urban sophistica-
tion. Live DJs spin essential mixes while the pretty people preen and be seen. There's a
calendar of special events and a balcony perch for checking out the street life.
Monkey Bar
CLUB
Attracting a younger crowd of locals and visitors, Monkey Bar pumps with good times,
reggaetón and pheromones.
Bohio Beach Bar & Bubba's Fish Tacos
BAR
Fortification for a surf session (or a long day of lounging on the beach) is sometimes an
immediate need. In such scenarios, Bohio Bubba's meets the basic requirements: huge fish
tacos, ice-cold Imperials and a beachfront locale. Decidedly better during daylight hours.
Clarita's Beach Hotel and Sports Bar and Grill
SPORTS BAR
Catch the game on the big screen, day-drink with a fun crowd, enjoy live Tico-style music
played by local oldsters and stay the night if you don't want to leave - the hotel is quite
comfortable and offers rooms (set back from the raucous beachfront bar) from US$60. It's
at the western end of Bulevar.
Orientation
Playa Jacó is about 2km off the Costanera, 3.5km past the turnoff for Herradura. The
beach itself is about 3km long, and hotels and restaurants line the road running just inland.
The areas on the northern and southern fringes are the most tranquil and attractive, and are
the cleanest.
Note that, in an effort to make foreign visitors feel more at home, the town has placed
street-name signs on most streets. These names are shown on the map, but the locals con-
tinue to use the traditional landmark system.
