Esquinas Rainforest Lodge, hotel in Golfito

Featuring a natural swimming pool and an extensive tropical garden, this eco-lodge is set in the rainforest just 2 km from La Gamba Village, on the edge of Piedras Blancas National Park.

Beautiful location and setting. Rooms were spacious and hot showers! The garden area was teeming with life. Caman, Agouti, Coati, Cayman (!), so many beautiful birds and huge variety of frogs. Pool was lovely. Kevin the guide was fantastic, really enjoyed the night hike. Chef was excellent, food was delicious. All the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Dolphin Quest Costa Rica, hotel in Golfito

Set in the Piedras Blancas National Park, Dolphin Quest Costa Rica provides accommodation with access to a garden. Some units have a balcony and/or a patio with sea or river views.

Incredible location, and great combination of both forest and marine in one place. Beautiful tropical gardens on the property complete with macaws and monkeys, and great guided excursions into rainforest, mangrove, and marine habitats. You are staying in a jungle so be prepared re: bugs, temperature and humidity. As a solo traveller it was super welcoming and friendly, and you feel at home quite quickly. As well as the activities it was also great just to chill out around the gardens or by the beach, or to just take a kayak and explore. The food was also amazing and a highlight for me, lots of fruit and veg grown on site, fresh fish if it was caught that day etc.

Kalea Yard Hotel, hotel in Golfito

Offering an outdoor swimming pool, Kalea Yard Hotel is located in Puerto Jiménez. Free WiFi access and free private parking are available in this tropical lodge.

Super friendly and warm staff, very flexible, accommodated to all our needs. We came back from Corcovado National park and had a lot of wet stuff, they offered to do our laundry free of charge. We were able to leave our car and suitcases at the hotel whilst being in the national park for a night, which was such a luxury! Very private hotel with a beautiful garden (spotted multiple tropical animals), a nice pool and bar area. Highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in Puerto Jimenez!

Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Eco Sanctuary, hotel in Golfito

Set on a private part of Nicuesa Beach, Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge has a tropical setting in the Golfo Dulce region.

It's been 3 weeks and we're still dreaming of @nicuesalodge our final stop in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 This place was so magical. From the moment we arrived (by boat) to this protected paradise we were welcomed by name and were in awe. 🌴 The staff, (all 25 to 20 guests!) get to know everyone and from our favourite server and cocktail maker, Kimberley to the tour guides, and maintenance were so friendly. That's the tico way 🙂 ❤️ The lodge itself is IN the raiforest, which seas and national park are protected. We even went to the Golfo Dulce to see wild dolphins, one of the worlds 4 tropical fjords! 🐬 We left with smiles and full hearts, and it really felt like an honour to be part of this special place. Thank you, you define Pura Vida 🌿

    There was no breakfast but there are places just down the road. It is a lodge, so its simple and basic, no AC, no hot water but that is what I expected. The gardens and local fauna are amazing.

    Since it wasn’t our first visit to his lodge, we knew him (the owner) and the area around it already. The fact that we have been here 3 times, should speak for itself. The rooms are modest and the nature around it, is unbelievable. Breakfast with monkeys and Tucans will be unforgettable. The owner is very forthcoming, he even took the time to help us with our car troubles.

    Situated in the middle of the rainforest, the Purruja Lodge offers a nice, green space to relax and watch the wildlife. The stuff was friendly and uncomplicated. We asked for breakfast at arrival and it was really nice and also cheap.

    La Purruja Lodge is a real bargain. My room was light and spacious and the property is really beautiful, with tonnes of animals. Walter and Rosy are fantastic hosts who have been in Golfito for decades. I also found Golfito itself to be surprisingly charming. There is a bay, surrounded by jungle clad hillsides and lots of old wooden buildings from the American banana company - it feels like the setting of a novel.

    The host Walter and Rosie were great and very accomodating. The grounds where the lodge is situated are beautiful and peaceful. The Wi-fi in the room was good and allowed me to do some work.
