Hotels near Golfito Airport - GLF, Golfito

Golfito is a very pretty area on the shores of the Golfito Bay with a variety of activities and restaurants and bars, and overall a very good range of facilities. A great base to explore the surrounding Parks and Bays and the Gulf with a ferry across to Puerto Jimenez. Good for boating, swimming, kayaking, fishing, water skiing, sailing and chilling!!

We met an amazing tour guide, he offers FREE tours (you can pay as much as you want) and he is great. He took us to a most unique places that we would never hear about. Ask the reception for the free tour guide in Golfito, his name is Steve and you wont regret!

We visited Golfito due to its convenience to nearby wildlife viewing (particularly birding) opportunities. A car is a must for this, so if you are not renting a vehicle, this option is not recommended. The property also provides good opportunities for fishing charters. The bay has a big tidal shift and there are no beaches close by, so this is not a good location if that is what you seek.

My friend and I went duty free shopping. We had such fun. Was disappointed the hotel no longer has a bar or restaurant. We ate at Mar y Luna. Delicious. On the water. BEST margarita I've had in Costa Rica; I've lived here five years.
