"Villa Ganesha, luxury and privacy

Pros: This house is very close (5 minute walk) to the main road in Jaco, and just about a 10 minute walk to the beach. (This section of the beach isn't really swimmable but you can walk to that section in about 20 minutes). -The house is quiet, in a neighborhood with other similar houses. It is locked up so you are in a courtyard (small, but a courtyard) -It has a pingpong table in the courtyard. -The back yard pool area is fantastic! It has a lot of seating, a bar, space under cover if it is raining, sweet lighting at night, fans that blow to keep bugs away, super cool green jungle look. It is where we "lived" during our 3 night stay. -Air conditioning is good in all rooms. Cons: -For a house that sleeps 12, the kitchen is very ill equipped. There is no dishwasher, no ice maker. There is one small sink to wash dishes in, and no way to plug the sink to wash them. -the house is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. It is pretty cramped in the "living room" which is about a foot away from the "dining room." If you plan on being outside the whole time (recommended!) it is a sweet spot. -The house is dark and dated. -One bathroom is very cramped and is used for 2 bedrooms. Overall, if you can be outside in the back yard, and just sleep inside, it is a decent house. For the cost, it would have been nice to have more space and a more updated, lighter feel.

Awesome location for Jaco adventures Our group of family and friends enjoyed our stay at Villa Ganesha. Location is superb for walking into town to eat, drink, get groceries, or visit the lovely black sand beach. Our 5 teenagers enjoyed walking into town for some “clubbing”. We all felt safe the whole trip. Beds are comfortable and AC’s work well. Pool area is wonderful and private. Overall, an amazing trip!
