Overall an interesting place with great views. The room had an overwhelming smell that you could almost taste like urinal pucks masking some unknown odour

Short stay in Golfito
Pros:

Our room, #3, overlooks the water/dock/boats. Entry to the room is from the bar/dining area. Fortunately, the restaurant/bar was not busy the night we stayed so noise was not a problem. The decor is of a bygone era. Service was very friendly and quick. The food was good, too.

Pros:

The staff are the most friendly people, and you can see all sorts of incredible wild life right from the restaurant and patio. We saw hawks, pelicans, turtles, a crocodile! We missed dolphins one morning apparently but yeah, it was absolute paradise and the staff were the best part.

Pros:

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food in the open-air restaurant is great. You walk out of your room into the beautiful open-air restaurant where you can have a very cold beer and watch the boats dock.

Pros:

Half of the building is over the bay, so walking up to the rail you're guaranteed to see unique birds and small fish...possibly a crocodile or a stingray. The layout is unique in that the guest rooms open right into the dining and bar area. I quickly got used to it and found it convenient. The bar shuts down at 10pm, so unwelcome noise also stops at 10pm. The food is good and the staff is friendly. If you're from the US, be aware that the service culture is different. If you are waiting for attentive service at your table, you will wait forever. Just flag them down or get up and go ask for what you want. The same goes for paying your bill. They are respecting your space, so don't get mad or try to educate them on customer service. Be a good American visitor and adapt.

Shopping Trip
Pros:

The hotel is near the duty free shops. From check in to check out the staff was great. The restaurant offered great food and great prices. Absolutely the best staff on site was the server in the bar and restaurant. She was so attentive and went out of her way to make sure that our every need was met. We loved meeting right on the water watching the sun and listening to the rain at night. For the price you can't beat this place.

Comfortable place right on the waterfront. The rooms looking onto the restaurant area feels slightly strange, but the glass is only one-way!
