Hotel Casa Roland Golfito Resort ★★★

"We had a lovely stay in Casa Roland Golfto. It was central for us to visit local national parks. The pools are great and you can look out and watch the scarlet macaws, toucans and other wildlife. The staff were very good apart from a mix up with a food order then the kitchen and bar staff went cold on us for the duration of our stay. ( even though we paid the total bill ) Rooms clean, good car park area. Breakfast was very local and not really to our taste."

Cielo Lodge ★★★

"I’m a little bit of a nature nerd so Cielo Lodge in the rainforest was perfect for me! The little Casita in the rainforest was beautiful, and the hammock on the deck was the perfect touch, but the outdoor shower was pure luxury! Waking up with the sunrise every morning was a beautiful experience and hearing all the birds was just wonderful. I travel all over the world and it is a rare occasion when I am booked in a room with both a bed and pillows that are to my liking, but Cielo nailed it! I wasn’t sure how the chef’s choice format for meals was going to work out, but it was absolutely fabulous The chef is great and has a excellent command of all the local fresh ingredients, including fish and shellfish. Herbs from the Lodge’s garden were such a nice touch. Cocktail hour was definitely enjoyable, and Hector is a master behind the bar. Service at Cielo is what I would call anticipatory ; I never had to ask for anything, somehow somebody always knew what I wanted and it just showed up. The entire staff from the general manager to the servers to the gardeners were welcoming and friendly and made me feel like I was a guest in a good friend’s home. The activities that are included in the stay were great Hiking through the rainforest with something I had never done and that was fabulous. Seeing all the birds and the frogs and the monkeys was just the best experience! I happened to be celebrating my birthday during the week that I was staying, and Cielo Lodge folks made it a memorable event. Best birthday in years. This is a very unique boutique lodge. Whether you go hiking in the rainforest or surfing in the gulf or just lazing by the pool, you’re going to love it. Peace and tranquility reign supreme at Cielo Lodge."

Fish Hook Marina Hotel ★★

Cabinas Golfito ★★

Hotel Don Fito ★★

Esquinas Rainforest Lodge ★★★

"We spent two nights here as part of a tour of Costa Rica. The rooms are simple, with a balcony and chairs outside so you can sit and watch the birds. The bathroom was nice and recently refurbished. No glass in the windows, just mesh. It is very humid, so everything feels damp. Beds were comfortable. The food in the restaurant is good, again simple and no choice (they display the menu in advance so you can let them know if you don’t eat something). Breakfasthad a choice of three options. It was very peaceful and relaxing, the staff were good. We did the night hike which was well worth it."
