This hotel is the best place to stay at this region. The location is beautiful. It faces the sea. There is a nice swimming pool at this hotel which offers a perfect relaxing time while you are here. The environment is completely peaceful. You have a feeling of safety while you are at this serene place. The food is excellent. The staff and the service are extremely good. The rooms are spacious and clean with good air conditioning. I stayed at this place with my wife and kids. My kids had a great time at the kids pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this place and would definitely come back for some relaxation.

If you travel to Golfito to shop at the Duty Free Deposit, this is the best place to stay, very well located in front of the sea and near downtown Golfito in a safe environment. And if your travel for pleasure, this is better, because the hotel has its own marina. They have nice swimming pool and ussually there's only a few guests inside, so its pleasant to relax without a noisy crowd around you. But the best is the food, because the place is owned by a french family, they treat you like their personal guest at their home, and usually you can taste the fresh catch of the day from the fishing boats. I go twice a year and I enjoy every time I stay.

This hotel received rave reviews from other folks, so we decided to go there for our short stay in Costa Rica. We were very disappointed. The rooms were quite large and very clean, but badly in need of repair and revitalizing. Lamps were broken, there was no control device for the AC (the only way to make it work), water leaked from the shower stall and there was a septic tank smell that permeated the room. The property was once quite nice, but lights were broken off around the pool, tiles were cracked and the "museum"/gift shop was dusty and dark. On the bright side, as mentioned in other reviews, the staff was excellent. Very helpful and friendly. The dinners were great - fresh fish and seafood prepared anyway you wanted. You could go into the kitchen and pick out your fish. The waiter remembered your preferences for drinks and accompaniments from one night to the other. For some reason, lunchtime food was always overcooked - perhaps a different chef than at dinner. Be prepared to entertain yourselves. Unless you fish, there is absolutely nothing to do in Golfito. We did take a boat ride where we were told we would see monkeys, dolphins, crocodiles, birds. We saw nothing - but the boat ride was pleasant. And, management invites local folks in to use the pool. Unfortunately, the local folks are young boys - not families - who take over, scream and cannonball into the water. We stayed away from the pool until they left or rested for lunch.

I can't think of a thing that could have made our stay any better. With the butterfly pools one for the kids one for adults overlooking the marina and the bay, the outstanding service and food at the bar and restaurant and the oversized rooms with windows front and back and a/c. Good water pressure in the shower with plenty of hot water. The owner and his staff seem more than happy to go that extra step to make our stay one we will never forget.
