There are "day tours" available to Carara National Park, Manuel Antonio, or San Jose. You can also arrange horseback rides on the beach, go rafting, surf all day or just hang around the pool and relax.

The name "Pochote Grande" is derived from the huge, old pochote tree (Bombacopsis quinatum) located directly behind our barbecue site. The tree, once called home by a boa constrictor, provides shade to many birds and animals such as owls, iguanas, squirrels and even a raccoon family on occasion.

Hotel Pochote Grande is German owned and managed. Built in 1990, it is a low rise, 24-room property which is surrounded by tropical gardens with a beautiful, partly shaded swimming pool and a gateway which leads directly onto the beach.

This attractive setting provides a quiet and friendly atmosphere for our small, open-air bar and restaurant. The hotel is situated at the quiet northern end of the 2 1/2 mile long, sandy Jacó Beach, Costa Rica.

Jacó

How to Get There:

The trip takes between 1 1/2 to 2 hours driving from San José. When leaving San José take the main highway (Carretera Interamericana) going North towards Puntarenas. The highway will pass the Juan Santa María airport. Stay on the Interamericana for about 10-15 minutes more, until you see an exit for a town (pueblo) called Atenas. There is a sign that reads Atenas / Orotina / Jaco. Take this exit and continue driving following the signs to Jacó.
