Five star service, location, and rooms in the heart of Golfito Can't be beat for the price and location. I can't believe there are not more reviews for how amazing this place is. I have been here multiple times and it never gets old. They just keep making it better and better. They are slowly working on expanding the area so every once in a while there are construction noises after 8am, but it's barely noticeable the times I have stayed here. Great people, helpful staff, great views, and overall a great experience every time. Easily my favorite place in Golfito.

Puntarenas, Costa Rica: Scarlet Macaws and Surfing in Popular Ecotourism Getaway

In Puntarenas, you’re never far from beaches, national parks, and nature reserves, making the area popular for ecotourism. The beachside town of Jacó attracts surfers from all over the globe with consistently big waves and good breaks.

This hotel is a scam We booked the hotel for a night through expedia. Upon arrival late afternoon they told us they had overbooked. Ok, can but in a well managed hotel won’t happen. They offered us 2 other hotels. In the amaka they charged us 285.- usd and they wanted us to accept a hotel which for the same night at expedia had a cost of 75 usd. After complaining they told us we get a free dinner. After more complaining they agreed to not charge us for the night - for a non existing service. Seemingly its the business model of the hotel to pocket their rate of 285 and then send you to a 75 usd establishment pocketing the difference. This is sn obvious scam

Great Surprise in the heart of the Rain Forest We were visiting the area of Gofo Dulce, and Golfito which is inside the Gulf. We were extremely fortunate to find Amaka Hotel at the Golfito Marina. This is a hidden jewel in the lush emerald green forest that surrounds the ocean. The Golfito Marina offers berths for Luxurious Yachts that many time come from the Panama Canal crossing and decide to stop in Costa Rica. Quite a fantastic decision! Amaka offers the visitors a realm o quietness and sophisticated comfort. The rooms welcome you with a scent of natural fibers, perhaps thanks to the swinging chair, rugs, wooden furniture and delicate arrangements. The lamps, the linens, the most sensational pillows and the magic mattress. You just don't want to leave the room!! the place offers an incredible number of outdoors activities such as sport fishing, whale and dolphin observation (in season), rain forest trails, ethnic tours, city exploration, water bikes, rappelling and so many more. I highly recommend La Playa Restaurant with exceptionally good gourmet meals,served by professional charming staff, experiences chefs, wonderful ambience, and great cocktails!! Also, while here, do not forget to check Paka Paka Bar at the beach. Amaka is a magic retreat in the midst of the most scenic views of Golfo Dulce, waterfalls, rivers, colorful birds, and the best friendly staff I have ever seen!! The best and all success!! Can't wait to go back!!!

A Very Special Property We found this place to be special, luxurious and awesome. My wife though the guest room was one of the coolest we have ever stayed in and we have traveled to 20 countries together. We live in Costa Rica and will be returning to this property again soon. Aside from the rooms and the special views of the Bahia from just about anywhere, the restaurant facing the water was awesome. We had afternoon cocktails and delicious 'tapas' while being treated to a spectacular light show of lightning dancing across the sky is during an 'aguacero' storm passing by.
