Excellent service and accomodations.

The local host Denier was more than accommodating, I would return because of his management skills, you can tell he likes to run a happy and friendly, secure hotel. Excellent service, great food. The place is clean, quiet, right by the Gulf with a dock and a pool. At the moment The restaurant was closed but we did have the included breakfast. The room was comfortable, A/C, TV, wifi available too(since phone reception is a bit tricky), refrigerator (there also more basic options on other rooms). The street to get there from the main road is not paved, about 1km but not bad.There are parking spots in front of the location and one with a gate the he was kind enough to let us use. Covid measures are followed. You can spot a lot of birds, fish and even turtles from there. I would definitively return.

cobro extra en comparacion pagina

Lo unico malo es que nos cobraron más de lo que decia la página, coloque la opción pagar en el hotel y no me parece que cobren más de lo que se pactó.

Muy buena opción en Golfito

Aunque el hotel no está en el centro de Golfito, está muy cerca, a solo 7 minutos en auto. Tiene vistas muy bonitas al golfo. Las habitacion muy limpia, se nota que se preocupan por eso. Buen desayuno además.

El hotel tiene muy bonitas habitaciones, tranquilas, con baño privado, aire acondicionado pero no tienen tv. La tv se encuentra en la sala de espera o living room. Ademas, las instalaciones son seguras, limpias, tranquilas y acogedoras. El desayuno es un servicio continental (basico de pan, huevos y tocino, cafe o jugo). Posee un muello que puede pasar el rato al lado del mar y ver muchos peces pequeños. En la parte superior hay una terraza donde se puede ver el atardecer y sentarse a disfrutar del sol y la vista. El atencion al cliente es buena, agradable y si necesitas algo te ayudan.
