Hotel El Delfin

De verantwoordelijke van het hotel bleek ook een gids te zijn, sprak voortreffelijk Engels en kende veel over de geschiedenis van de Garifuna en de omgeving. We deden een leuke daguitstap met hem.Het ontbijt was lekker. Handig dat de ferry ons aan de hotelsteiger kon oppikken.

Posizione un po' defilata rispetto al centro ma tranquilla e comoda da raggiungere. Stanze molto grandi con vista mare. Per qualunque esigenza chiedete a Giovanni che troverà una soluzione con immancabile sorriso sulle labbra. La barca da e per Rio dulce vi lascia e vi riprende direttamente sul pontile dell'hotel. Piscina a livello del mare per godere del tramonto o di un bagno sotto le stelle.

The manager was exceptional. He took the time to take us on a tour of his town, his knowledge of the place was exceptional! Our best advice is to chat with him as to what you plan to do for the day, save yourself getting fleeced by Garifunans.
Breakfast was very nice. Options for breakfast are picked the day before to ensure they have all ingredients, we have come across this in multiple places.
Beautiful art all around the place which is for sale.
Very much chill vibes

Location and comfortable

The place.

Big room, hot water, a pool that was large enough to swim lengths. Right on the water, great vista to sit on deck. Solid breakfast. But the best thing is the staff, particularly front of house fellow Giovani. He speaks very fluent English and knows so much about local history and customs it adds so much value to the stay to sit down and chat with him for half an hour. I’m sure he had other stuff to do but he didn’t make you feel like that and it greatly augmented my understanding of the town and its culture.

The relaxed atmosphere. The knowledge and assistance of the manager. Provision of sandwiches to take away when leaving before breakfast on final morning.

Hotel manager Roberto er meget venlig og hjælpsom.
Stor tak for hjælp.

L'eau chaude dans la douche

Great spot on the water. The hotel manager is super friendly and helpful. I would stay here again!

Die Lage war sehr ruhig bei Nacht, gutes Sicherheitsgefühl, das Frühstück jeden Morgeb (Pancakes, frische Obst & Saft) waren sehr lecker, Personal aufmerksam und freundlich

Piscina, personal amable, habitación amplia...
Hostal casa rosada al lado con posibilidad de hacer muchas actividades más baratos que el muelle y un ambiente muy chill...
Decoración muy bohemia, arte local en venta(cuadros).....

I really loved the receptionist Edbin, he was extremely hospitable and attentive to our requests i.e shuttle service to Rio Dulce.

Prachtige locatie aan zee. Het hotel is zeer smaakvol ingericht. Toen ik boekte zou er geen kamer met twee persoonsbed meer beschikbaar zijn, maar bij aankomst bleek die er gewoon te zijn en kregen we die kamer zonder bij te hoeven betalen!

It was okay at best. Booked cause it had decent reviews and nice photos, the place felt outdated. Only one staff on location at any time and they weren’t very friendly. They did point me in the right direction to get laundry done, so I guess that’s something. The pool was unusable! The photos made it look so nice but all the tiles on the steps to get in were broken and sharp, and it had a ton of algae in it the one day we went to use it, which just made it feel unsafe. The room itself was decent, spacious with a much needed Ac that worked great. The “king” bed was two twin pushed together, which is fine but they were very hard and pillows were janky. The shower had good hot water but not good pressure. Oh and the restaurant was non existent. We were told that breakfast was available but when we tried it was closed and no one was around, ever! None of the amenities that were listed were available. Luckily we were able to get food right next door and if we were to ever come back to Livingston we would honestly go somewhere else!
