In Esterillos Oeste, near Jaco, you can get the Best fish tacos ever, strong drinks and friendly American staff is just a couple of steps from La Dolce Vita as well as four good and cheap restaurants, a surfboard rental shop and a SuperSol supermarket. Our hotel, just on the beach of Esterillos Oeste, is onlyt ten minutes south from the famous Playa Hermosa Beach, where the 2009 ISA World Games of Surf were held, and near many other famous beaches, such as Esterillos Centro and Este, Bejuco going south. To the north we are near Jaco beach, La Isla, Escondido, Coralillos, Puerto Caldera, and Boca Barranca. Casino, trendy restaurants, Discos, shopping and Jaco nightlife are just twenty minutes away from the peace of Esterillos Oeste. In fact, Jaco, is the largest town near Esterillos Oeste and famous for its night life and the wide range of restaurants, stores, amenities, casinos. La Dolce Vita hotel is the right accommodation to stay and relax after a day on the beach, trekking, biking or a night in Jaco.
