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 racoon
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.
|
|
|
The town
of Jacó is stretched out along the beach to the
south. The center is a 15 minute stroll down the
sand or road. In Jacó Beach you will find small
typical restaurants, fruit stands, minimarts,
souvenir stores, a pharmacy as well as two
banks.
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
All
of our large, clean rooms have either a terrace
or a balcony with diagonal views of the beach,
garden and pool. |
