Croc’s Resort & Casino
Hotel and casino lodging in central Jacó
About
If you’re looking for a touch of Las Vegas while you’re in Costa Rica, Croc’s Resort & Casino is about as close as you’re going to get. The casino is right downstairs off the lobby, and outside there’s a huge, elaborate swimming pool that really feels like the centerpiece of the whole resort. I could easily imagine spending most of my stay right there without feeling the need to go anywhere else. If gambling is part of your idea of a vacation, this is definitely a hotel to consider. It gives you that full Vegas-style resort experience while still keeping you right in Jacó. I’d recommend it for travelers who want a lively, resort-style stay with everything close at hand.

Glen's Recommendation
June 2026I checked in at Croc’s Resort & Casino in Jacó and it immediately felt like one of those places that knows exactly what kind of getaway travelers want on the Central Pacific coast: easy, fun, and close to the action. If you’re looking for a base that puts you near the beach, restaurants, and Jacó’s lively nightlife, this is a strong choice.
What stood out to me most was the overall vibe. It’s a resort that feels energetic without being chaotic, and that makes it a good fit for couples, groups of friends, and anyone who likes having a few extras on site. The casino adds a little sparkle to the experience, but the real win is how convenient the whole property is for a Jacó stay. You can relax at the resort, then head out and be in town in no time.
For travelers who want comfort and a bit of entertainment all in one stop, Croc’s is easy to recommend. It’s the kind of property that works well for a weekend escape, a beach trip, or even a longer Pacific coast stay if you want things simple and central.
Travel With Glen Pro Tip: If you’re staying in Jacó, book a room that gives you the easiest access to the beach and plan your arrival early enough to enjoy the property before heading out for dinner or sunset.
