A simple but good hotel (with AC!) right at a marina with a restaurant and bar. In the heart of Golfito. This is a good choice.

The location was very convenient, clean and right on the water. I liked that the room was so close to the dining area and bar-just steps away. The view was beautiful.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a quiet property in a good location for walking around town. Jessica at check in was very nice , helpful and informative. The restaurant there was good and the Fish Hook next door was also very good. The hotel is partially built on cement posts over the water so it is nice to sit on the deck and enjoy the view and watch the fishing boats come and go.

Property was great, overlooking the marina. We stayed in the suite, and had a private deck over the water. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was super attentive and made the stay very enjoyable. As others noted, it is a long walk to town. But, taxis are everywhere and there is plenty of parking in town if you have a car.

10/10 Exceptional

Stay in the suite so that you get (the only) view of the bay. The room was clean, working AC, lots of room to spread out, and access to a nice deck. Staff were friendly, though caution: laundry is $8 per bag, so even if you have tiny bags that altogether would make up just one load of laundry, you could end up paying $$$. We ate at the nearby restaurant Mar y Arena (twice!) and loved it so much. We also booked a dolphin/snorkel tour that easily picked us up at the hotel's own boat dock.

The hotel is located right in front of major highway, yet very quiet. The minus were the beds, they need to be replace. The service was one of the best that I have experienced in Costa Rica.

Value for money.
Good, clean location overlooking the bay. Friendly staff and decent restaurant. The only downside was the beds were a bit hard and the pillows were not the greatest quality. Very reasonable rate so good value for money.
