Clarita's Beach Bar & Resort
Beach bar and lodging in Jacó, Puntarenas
About
Located in Barrio Los Villalobos in Jacó, this property sits in the Puntarenas Province on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast. It combines beach bar service with accommodation, making it a practical option for travelers who want to stay in Jacó rather than outside town. The setting places guests within the Jacó area, where beach access, local services, and transport links are part of the normal day-to-day layout of the town. For visitors planning time in Jacó, the location is useful as a base for beach days, meals, and short trips around the central Pacific. The property’s name suggests a mixed-use setup centered on both lodging and a beach bar, so it may suit guests who want a straightforward stay with food-and-drink service available on site. Travelers should verify room availability, services, and current operating details directly through the website or by phone before booking.
Glen's Recommendation
June 2026If you’re heading to Jacó and want a place that captures that easygoing beach-town energy, Clarita's Beach Bar & Resort is worth a look. I stopped in here during my Costa Rica travels, and what stood out most was the relaxed, come-as-you-are vibe. It feels like the kind of spot where you can arrive with sandy feet, grab a cold drink, and settle into vacation mode right away.
What I like about places like this is when they balance convenience with atmosphere, and Clarita’s does a nice job of that. You’re close to the beach action Jacó is known for, but it still has that resort feel that makes it easy to unwind after a day of surfing, swimming, or exploring town. The beach bar side adds a fun social element too — perfect for travelers who enjoy a lively sunset drink without needing anything too fancy.
For fellow travelers, I’d say this is a solid option if you want a straightforward stay with a good location and a casual coastal setting. It’s the kind of place that works well for couples, friends, and anyone looking for a base in Jacó without overcomplicating things. With a strong overall reputation and plenty of reviews behind it, Clarita’s clearly has a loyal following for a reason.
Travel With Glen Pro Tip: If you’re visiting Jacó, time your check-in so you can catch sunset with a drink in hand — that’s when this area really shines.
