    Very convenient for the ferry on arrival and for the bus to the border the next day. Breakfast was quite good, plentiful and included. Room 19 is attractive and has ocean views on 3 sides (the only room on the second floor); it's a smaller room but perfect for 1-2 people. It also has a large bathroom with an overhead shower. The second room we booked for the kids had less light but was spacious and comfortable.

    A good stay for families, but not so much for work.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    The Wifi wasn't very stable in the room or in other places. It worked fine, but there were moments when it broke up, which was difficult during meetings.

    The overall place was good and the room was big enough. The restaurant was closed, but they did serve a good enough breakfast. It was fresh every day and there were a lot of good places for food around. The beach wasn't the best for swimming, but the swimming pool did quite nicely.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    This was a stopping point for us on a road trip, selected primarily for its proximity to the border that we needed to cross the next day. It was a great hotel and served our purposes perfectly. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Everything worked well in the room, which was spacious and comfortable. We were able to park within view of the room, in a location that felt secure. We had to leave early in the am so didn't get a chance to partake of the breakfast. There was a nice restaurant within easy walking distance. Wi-fi in the room was free and worked well. All-in-all, a good place to stay.

    Serving lunch and or dinner would be a big plus, but we were there in May. More low season and not a lot of people. Other places to eat pretty far to walk to but cabs plenty around.

    Great breakfast, had the Jr. Suite right on the water. Very relaxing and peaceful. Nice pool area and lots of aguanas. A couple mini marts close by. Staff there was excellent, always helping when needed.

    The restaurant on the property is/was closed, so we had to go out for meals when we were on the property. We were out early every day, so we were unable to have the breakfast that was included, but since the restaurant was closed, we were not sure what that would have consisted of.

    The property was conveniently located along the waterfront in Golfito. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and they went out of their way to assist us when needed.

    Not many places to eat close by. Not ideal for swimming in the sea.

    If there's a reason to stay in Golfito then this is a good place to stay. For swimming in the sea then I would choose Puerto Jiménez. We enjoyed the pool every evening and had adjacent rooms with our friends. Our friend's room had an extra room where we could all sit together. Breakfast was included making it good value.
