And if you like to leave the cooking to someone else, there are 100 different dining and drinking options with everything from 5-star to casual. Choices such as seafood, Italian, Peruvian, Costa Rican, French, Asian, vegan, craft beer microbreweries, and wine bars are all at your fingertips. And, dinner and a drink out can be as cheap as $18 per couple at a local soda (small snack stand). Sport-fishing is extremely popular around Jacó, and restaurants will cook your own fresh catch-of-the-day for you with various choices of delectable cooking styles and flavors.
But Jacó is not just about weekend parties. There is a strong expat community which mixes in with the local ticos (native Costa Ricans) making the full-time residents about a 50/50 mix.
