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 ★★★

"Trying to figure out how to spend your money and time on an eco-lodge experience can be daunting. I mean how do you really know? Before I went to Cielo Lodge I read the reviews and hoped it could live up to what people were saying. Now that I have been there, I can honestly say that it is a magical place that exceeded expectations. To be brief, it was incredible and my wife and I highly recommend. If you want details, here are the reasons we loved Cielo Lodge. 1. It is a real deal eco-lodge. The sleek, modern design allows it to fit into the natural setting. There are abundant examples of the property's commitment to sustainability and preservation. They use solar power and spring water and go to great lengths to protect and promote native species in the many acres that belong to Cielo Lodge. The remote location means that the wildlife is in fact, wild. You feel very much like a visitor in an untouched place. 2. You will be immersed in nature. The cabins are beautiful, clean and very private. We made full use of the outdoor shower. That was not something I thought I would enjoy as much as I did. The cabins are screened and but do have glass windows. Don't worry about bugs. Between the screens, netting around the bed and the ceiling fan, we did not have any issues. Now, that is not to say you won't see insects. You will. You are in the rainforest! However, we did not have any problems with bites. Much less of an issue than I anticipated. You will hear the jungle. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. For us, we found going to sleep early and waking with the forest was the way to go. We looked out over the canopy as the last of the moonlight gave way to the dawn and the sounds of a new day. Did I say magical? Oh yeah, just as the early morning birds come to life, your coffee arrives and is placed just outside your door. 3. The food. Three meals a day are included. Each one having three courses. I think the main reason we picked this resort is because people said the food was good. It was excellent. Our lives became centered around those meals. Everything was incredibly fresh. Some things that stood out for us were the fruits and juices, the quality of the avocados and tomatoes in particular and the vegetables in general. All real treats in January for those of us who live much further north. Everything was delicious and artfully prepared. The tuna and the sea bass were super memorable. The kitchen really understands how to showcase wonderful ingredients. One afternoon we lounging by the pool and the staff brought us some guacamole and chips. You know a place is good when the guacamole blows your mind. This is first rate dining in an unmatched setting. 4. The people are fantastic. We loved the hospitality. Everyone was kind and friendly. It's really not like a hotel experience. It's chill and relaxed but you are super well taken care of. The vibe is very much like you are a house guest. Ke"

Banana Bay Marina ★★★

"The staff were very good, they were good notes and helped very much. In particular one called Beto, helped us very much when our room had some small disadvantages. The rooms were OK. And much security."

Amaka Ocean Living Lodge ★★★

"The lodge itself is beautiful, spacious & plenty of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the amazing view of the bay. The bartender Derek went above & beyond as well as the receptionist who booked taxi’s in advance for us & the chef cooked our catch perfectly! 🎣 Highly recommend renting paddle boards/kayaks to check out Playa Cacao (restaurant across the bay). We saw dolphins jumping along the way! 🥰 Easy access to fishing charters & only a 30 min. boat ride to Puerto Jimenez where you can jump on another boat to Corcovado nat’l park (1.5hr ride). We also saw whales on the way to the park! 💜 The area is walkable, check out Cocas bar down the street for the coldest beer in town & great service! The supermarket is also about 2 blocks away. We can’t wait to return to this hidden gem. Thanks again for an amazing time! Pura Vida! 😎🤙🏻"

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."
