Clarita's Beach Bar & Hotel

Best Chicken Soup in Jaco, Alberto is one of the managers and he runs a good restaurant and Maria is a terrific waitress. My go to beach restaurant in Jaco.

Went to the restaurant/ bar for lunch. The prices here are a little high, however when you consider the location, the generous portions, and the food quality, it seemed spot on. The service was also excellent, friendly and attentive.

The hotel appears under construction? The beach bar was great though! We had iced coffee, the breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros. It was all delicious!

We liked the place a lot! It has perfect location and delicious food. Priced wisely.

Came here for lunch one day. This is one of the popular sodas in Jaco and it was walking distance from our hotel (we were staying at the Crocs resort).
We ordered the vegetarian nachos and of course, the ceviche, which was delicious!!
Go for the food, drinks and the beautiful sunset 😊

We didn't stay at the hotel but the restaurant was amazing! The blackened Mahi Mahi tacos were on point and the cevice was the best I've had so far on this trip. Definitely recommend!

This is the best food in Jaco no doubt! Everything I tried was great! The lobster soup was unreal! Tuna tartare was great too! Great sunset clean accessible beach with parking. The drinks taste great and are HUGE! Will be coming back for more drinks and great sunsets!! I can’t wait to see the place after the new renovations!

We stopped at the beach bar for a drink. The views were amazing. Everyone was so friendly.

Stopped here for dinner on the way to Quepos. Excellent service and good prices. My kids didn’t want to stop playing at the beach so the servers helped me take the food to the beach. Amazing fried fish -Pargos- and one of the best chicken fingers we’ve ever had. If we are in the area again we’ll definitely be back.

We ate at three different beach bars on Jaco beach and this one had the best ceviche by far. Like everything else in the Jaco area it is expensive. It is not cheap to eat on Jaco beach, no matter the restaurant. With that being said we enjoyed eating here as it was conveniently located within walking distance from where we stayed. Pura vida. I also recommend the seafood rice.

I went there thrice with my family on my visit to Jago and was thoroughly impressed. One time, we were with another family, making us a party of 9. Food was out in ~20 minutes after being ordered and tasted delicious. It has a huge and versatile menu that stays authentic while still being able to accommodate to the most picky of eaters. Top it off with a beachside location with a perfect view of the sunset, and you’ve got a 5 star restaurant!!

The atmosphere at Clarita’s is fantastic. I have been coming here for a few years and they have expanded. A great place to relax and watch the sunset. The food here is very good and served quickly with a smile. My favorite Beach bar in Jaco.

Wonderful beach bar located steps from the sand. Great place to eat, drink, and watch the sunset. Good pizza and drinks. Nice selection on the menu, looking forward to coming back and trying more things.

I had some great fish tacos in this place, the staff was very friendly and it's right by the beach, which makes it ideal. I didn't try the hotel, so I'm only talking about the restaurant part. No complaints from me!

Great menu options. We were a party of 4 service was fast. Our first meal upon arrival to Jaco. It was convenient to the condos. The overall service was great and the food was delicious. I recommend trying something on the menu when you visit Jaco. #PuraVida mi gente

If you are a foreigner, with little to know Spanish skills, and you wanna feel welcomed in the community, then you’ve come to the right spot. The people here make the restaurant. Ask for Mari, Pilar or Maria and they will take care of you like your a local. They crack jokes and serve you with kindness you only get at your own local spots. Thanks to the people at Claritas, you made me feel so welcome and relaxed.

As for the food. Fantastic breakfast menu and the fish tacos are unreal. I highly recommend it. Also they have several hot sauces, if that’s what you are into. Be careful, the Carolina Reaper sauce is no joke.

Food is very good. The servers are really nice and service is great

We eaten there a few times now. Great food,great service and amazing views. The brownies are a must for any chocolate lover.

Great place to stay if you are going to Jaco. It's away from all the crazy stuff downtown. The staff is fantastic, the food is yummy and the beers are cold.

The place is an open front beach bar with excellent service and amazing ceviche. I visited the place twice on a week, my mom, boyfriend and friends loved it! Coming back for sure to visit these wonderful and friendly ladies on my next trip to CR!
