The Palms Jaco

We stayed in 901 at The Palms. I tend to be a tough reviewer, and rarely give 5 stars. But this really was a 5 star experience. Being able to use Crocs pool and resort next door is a HUGE plus! But the condo at the Palms was the nicest condominium we have EVER rented. Our unit had 3 bathrooms, and each of them was equipped with a bidet seat. We have these seats in our home an we love them, so finding them in the condo was an enormous plus for us! I have read some reviews about hookers and old guys looking for hookers, but we encountered none of this during our stay. Perhaps it does happen, but if it happened during the week we stayed there it was not at all obvious. I am very glad we chose Jaco as our base- it had tons of shops, bars, restaurants, and so on, all within walking distance (for those who don't mind walking 2 or 3 miles in high heat situations). Cabs are cheap. Car rentals and gas are EXPENSIVE! The people are friendly. The food is VERY good. Several parks and lots of adventure options are located close by. Make sure to look for Crux, AKA The Southern Cross in the night sky above the ocean. It was visible every night we were there. This is not visible in the northern hemisphere. If you are familiar with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young you will appreciate seeing The Southern Cross, and you'll understand now why you came this way!!!
