Groceries in Jaco are relatively inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce, meat, and dairy at lower prices than in many Western countries. Eating out at restaurants can vary, with local eateries being quite affordable and more tourist-oriented places being more expensive. Public transportation in Jaco is very affordable, but owning a car can be more expensive due to the high cost of gasoline and maintenance. Health care in Costa Rica is generally inexpensive and of high quality, with both public and private options available.
