What people say about us
"The Jaco guidebook was a great experience. Let me start here, the gentleman that owns the company took time out of his busy schedule to help me book and secure tickets to excursions while with his family having coffee on his day off. That’s dedication by far. The experience and kindness was also 5 star treatment. If you’re new to Jaco look up his company you and your family will enjoy your time instead of looking for stuff to do."

Our
Story
How it all began...
As a small Canadian family who relocated to Jaco several years ago, we grappled with the challenge of navigating the area's offerings: finding reputable companies for activities, discovering top dining spots, and uncovering the best entertainment options.
To streamline the vacation experience for our guests when we launched our Airbnb in 2023, we created The Jaco Guidebook - a comprehensive resource and Concierge Service designed to eliminate the guesswork and allow visitors to dive straight into their vacation.
Soon after its inception, we realized that many Jaco tourists shared our initial struggles. They too were unsure where to order a pizza, which excursion company to trust, how to expedite grocery deliveries, convert money, or where to capture stunning sunset shots for their Instagram feed.
Recognizing this common need, we created The Jaco Guidebook, as a resource and service, accessible to all vacationers in Jaco.
