Our Guests Love Us

We had the most wonderful time! Jicaro was terrific. We met very interesting people and were treated to a presentation of the sustainability program at Jicaro by Fabian.

I had an amazing time at Jicaro!! I am still gushing. It is truly a special magical place. I have traveled all around the world and visited some fantastic properties but Jicaro really blew me away.

Jicaro is a boutique luxury retreat, complete with cool welcome drinks under sweeping palm fronds, fresh locally-grown coffee served on private decks, designer dinners, and a decadent Zen-like spa overlooking the still waters.

Hats off to the chef and the culinary team for some of the most simple, creative and fresh tasting food that I’ve had …and, no, I do not mean just in Central America! The uncompromising culinary team uses only local, organic and fresh ingredients
