When the Jacó sun is doing its thing, the best cool-down in town is a cup of Moyo. It's the bright little frozen-yogurt kiosk at Jaco Walk — "helado de yogurt natural sin grasa," or 100% natural, fat-free frozen yogurt — piled with whatever toppings you can fit in the cup. As your local private chef, when guests ask where to take the kids (or themselves) for a treat, Moyo is the easy answer. Here's the scoop.
Where it is & what it is
Moyo sits right in the Jaco Walk open-air shopping center in central Jacó — the same easy-to-reach plaza as a bunch of the town's restaurants, so it's a perfect after-dinner stop. The whole concept is light and guilt-free: the yogurt is 100% natural and fat-free, so it's a treat you don't have to feel bad about on a beach trip. You pick your size, they swirl it, and then you load it up at the toppings bar.
Sizes, flavors & the toppings bar
It's simple: pick a cup size, then add toppings. Sizes run Pequeño ₡2,100, Mediano ₡2,550, Grande ₡3,450, plus a big To-Go tub ₡8,800 to take back to the villa. Toppings are "lo que le quepa a tu copa" — as many as fit in your cup — for +₡850 to +₡950 depending on size, and you can add a chocolate shell for +₡500. The toppings bar is the fun part: fresh strawberries, cranberries, coconut, granola, sliced almonds, peanuts, pistachio crumble, gummy bears, jelly beans, mini cookies, marshmallows, caramelized pepitas, cinnamon amaranth and more. Rotating flavors include fun ones like taro, mango, green melon and the seasonal Moras Lavanda (blackberry-lavender).
Good to know
Where: Jaco Walk open-air shopping center, central Jacó, Costa Rica. Also on the menu: Parfaits ₡3,450 and real-fruit Smoothies ₡2,950. Prices can change, so treat these as a guide. A fat-free, all-natural treat the kids and adults both love — and an easy walk from dinner.
Beyond froyo: smoothies & parfaits
Not in a frozen-yogurt mood? Moyo also blends real-fruit smoothies (₡2,950) and builds layered parfaits (₡3,450) — a lighter, fruit-forward option that's great mid-afternoon or after a beach day. It's the kind of spot the whole family can agree on.
