Hotel Casa Roland Golfito Resort

Hotel Casa Roland Golfito Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We have stayed at Casa Roland a half dozen times over the years. It’s by far the best appointed accommodation in Golfito proper. Situated in the historic old American Zone (where Chiquita Banana executives lived) it is charming and has the best pool complex in the area. The restaurant is also very good. I highly recommend Casa Roland."

El Tumbo de las Olas

10/10 Excellent
"The hosts at the site were very helpful and wonderful once we found them. But finding them initially was very hard as the address is difficult to locate and our local taxi got lost. It would be far better if Expedia would send us a good contact # for the people who are actually running the place on the ground before we even came just as VRBO does. There should be more pictures of the outside of the rental as it was very deep in the jungle and very dark as there was no sunshine. There was very little electric lights at night so not possible to read. Other than that it was a great experience staying there as we met up with our son on his birthday at Lapa Rios. The ladies that hosted us were a A + team. Raana Azad"

"The road up is bumpy but easy in little Suzuki SUV. You can get food delivered to your lodging from town. The site is actually surrounded by rainforest, not some then agricultural land. Wildlife and fauna everywhere and facilities are excellent. It is off grid so a/c went off, not power, at night but the ceiling fan was powerfully and we were very comfortable sleeping. I’m coming back."
