Not every villa in Jaco Beach earns the word "impressive" without explanation. Casa Ponte 3 — listed in our catalog as Casa VIP 11 — is one that does. Six thousand square feet of open-air jungle villa, seven private suites, nine bathrooms, two water slides, a swim-up bar, a game room, a cold plunge, and bay views from the pool deck. It sleeps up to 20 guests and sits in the hills above Jaco, far enough from the noise that you feel like you're in the jungle, close enough that the beach, restaurants, and nightlife are minutes away.
If you've been comparing rental properties in Jaco Beach and haven't looked at Casa Ponte 3 yet, this post is for you. You can also browse the full rental lineup at www.jacobeachchef.com to see how it stacks up against other VIP properties.
Who Is Casa Ponte 3 For?
Casa Ponte 3 works for almost any large-group occasion, but it was clearly designed with groups who want more than a pool in mind. Bachelor parties book it because of the water slides and swim-up bar. Friend groups book it for milestone birthdays and reunions. Families book it for the space and privacy — seven suites means no one has to share who doesn't want to, and the pet-friendly policy means the dog comes too.
The layout rewards groups of 10 to 20 people. Below that you're paying for rooms you won't use; at the upper end of 20 guests, the villa hits its stride — every suite is occupied, the pool deck is lively, and the outdoor kitchen becomes the social center of the trip.
The Amenities in Full
Here's what's included when you book Casa Ponte 3 / Casa VIP 11 in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica:
- 7 suites, 9 bathrooms — sleeps up to 20 guests
- 6,000 sq ft jungle villa with open-air design and bay views
- Pool with swim-up bar
- Jacuzzi and cold plunge
- Two water slides: 150 ft and 200 ft
- Game room: pool table and arcade games
- 100-inch smart TV
- Outdoor kitchen & BBQ grill
- Outdoor shower
- Full indoor kitchen, A/C throughout, WiFi, washer/dryer, parking
- Pet-friendly
The two water slides are worth singling out. Most private villas in Jaco Beach have a pool. A handful have a hot tub. A slide — let alone two — is rare. The 200 ft slide is the kind of feature that becomes the defining story of the trip. Groups that stay at Casa Ponte 3 talk about it for years.
The Swim-Up Bar and Pool Deck
The pool is the social hub of the property. The swim-up bar means you don't have to leave the water to get a drink. The jacuzzi sits off the main pool for groups who want to break into smaller conversations without going inside. The cold plunge is there when someone wants to reset after the sun has been out all afternoon. Together, these three water features give the pool deck a resort-level experience — without a resort's crowds, noise, or strangers.
Bay views from the pool deck make sunset hour one of the best parts of a stay at Casa Ponte 3. Jaco Bay stretches out in front of you, the jungle runs behind, and the temperature drops just enough to make sitting outside feel perfect.
The Game Room and Indoor Common Areas
A trip to Jaco Beach isn't all sunlight and pool time. The game room at Casa VIP 11 gives the group something to do when it rains or when someone wants a break from the heat. Pool table and arcade games keep the energy going without everyone having to go out. The 100-inch smart TV makes movie nights and sports viewing events worth actually planning. The layout of the indoor common areas supports a group of 20 being in the same space without feeling packed.
Private Chef and All-Inclusive Package
Casa Ponte 3 is one of our featured rental properties, which means when you book through www.jacobeachchef.com, your group gets the first full day of private chef service completely free. We come to the villa, we cook — breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever fits your schedule — and we clean up. You don't lift a finger.
For groups that want to take it further, the all-inclusive package adds $199/person/day and covers:
- Private chef for all meals
- Open bar (beer, liquor, mixers)
- Airport transfers to and from SJO
- Full-time VIP hosting and concierge
For a group of 10 on the all-inclusive package, that's $1,990/day to have every logistical detail handled. No grocery runs, no bar tabs to calculate, no figuring out who drives to the airport. You show up, we take care of the rest.
