The Business Concept

Jacó Beach has seen considerable growth within the last 3 years. The population has nearly doubled. This growth pattern can be attributed to the Four Star 210 room Marriott Hotel and Los Suenos development in the adjacent Herradura Bay to the north. This development opened 6 years ago. The Los Suenos development boasts a state of the art 200 slip Marina with its teak topped cement floating docks, along with an 18-hole championship top 100 rated golf course. It is the economic engine that has driven the Central Pacific market for the past years and set the standards for all future projects to match or better such as the new Regency Resort located just to the north. It has proven that coastal projects will appreciate in value rapidly after construction as some resale units in the project now sell for triple the original sale price only five years ago. Los Suenos is a well-planned development and has helped Jacó, the young beachfront town, become the most popular destination on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coastline.
Right now Jacó has over 110 restaurants and bars, offering from the typical Tico plates to the dining of the finest culinary accredited chefs. Cuisines from Seafood dishes or Asian fusion to spicy Peruvian, you can find a variety to please everyone’s palate. The bazaars are on the rise with a number of new shopping centers like Plaza Coral, pharmacies, doctors, banks and dentists. Over 40 new store fronts last year alone, with more in the planning along with four new super markets.
Within the next few years the highway system will be greatly improved. The final 45 Kms of the coastal highway will complete in the next couple of years and then stretch from Panama’s border to Nicaragua. This will be Costa Rica’s Highway 101.
