Guest Reviews

• Paul (6/5): - Overall an interesting place with great views. The room had an overwhelming smell that you could almost taste like urinal pucks masking some unknown odour
• Lora (8/5): Short stay in Golfito - Our room, #3, overlooks the water/dock/boats. Entry to the room is from the bar/dining area. Fortunately, the restaurant/bar was not busy the night we stayed so noise was not a problem. The decor is of a bygone era. Service was very friendly and quick. The food was good, too.
• Pauleen (10/5): - I always enjoy staying at this property. They have a very nice staff and delicious food. The rooms are large and clean.
• Richard (6/5): - No access to the boats
• Elysia (10/5): - The staff are the most friendly people, and you can see all sorts of incredible wild life right from the restaurant and patio. We saw hawks, pelicans, turtles, a crocodile! We missed dolphins one morning apparently but yeah, it was absolute paradise and the staff were the best part.
• Jorge (10/5): Great place to stay - Always a great place to stay
• Pauleen (10/5): - The hotel is clean and has a beautiful view. Staff was friendly and helpful.
• Michael L. (10/5): - The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food in the open-air restaurant is great. You walk out of your room into the beautiful open-air restaurant where you can have a very cold beer and watch the boats dock.
• Scott (10/5): - Half of the building is over the bay, so walking up to the rail you're guaranteed to see unique birds and small fish...possibly a crocodile or a stingray. The layout is unique in that the guest rooms open right into the dining and bar area. I quickly got used to it and found it convenient. The bar shuts down at 10pm, so unwelcome noise also stops at 10pm. The food is good and the staff is friendly. If you're from the US, be aware that the service culture is different. If you are waiting for attentive service at your table, you will wait forever. Just flag them down or get up and go ask for what you want. The same goes for paying your bill. They are respecting your space, so don't get mad or try to educate them on customer service. Be a good American visitor and adapt.
• Linda (10/5): - Beautiful marina view, delicious restaurant and kind and helpful staff!
• Juliet D (10/5): - Great views from rooms and restaurant. Family friendly fare. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
• James (10/5): Shopping Trip - The hotel is near the duty free shops. From check in to check out the staff was great. The restaurant offered great food and great prices. Absolutely the best staff on site was the server in the bar and restaurant. She was so attentive and went out of her way to make sure that our every need was met. We loved meeting right on the water watching the sun and listening to the rain at night. For the price you can't beat this place.
• Donovan (10/5): Perfect hotel and bar/restaurant on the marina. - Wonderful engaging, helpful and pleasant staff. Went above and beyond to assist. Beautiful sunsets. Sports bar feel. Rooms within the bar area was a new experience.
• Arnold (10/5): - Beautiful views from the restaurant. The rooms are a little loud as they face the restaurant. But overall it is good value for the money.
• Philip (8/5): - Comfortable place right on the waterfront. The rooms looking onto the restaurant area feels slightly strange, but the glass is only one-way!
• Fabian (8/5): If you want to sleep in a Restaurant 😅 - The room is literally IN the restaurant. Funny experience but very good for the price. Restaurant is really good!
• Glenn (8/5): - Great room size right on the water in front if a marina . If your going fishing his is an ideal place to stay. I would go back .
• Juan Pablo (10/5): Lindo lugar. - Todo estuvo muy bien. El trato fue muy bueno.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible views from the open deck restaurant with a panorama of the Golfo Dulce, great food, pelicans flying by. Staff very helpful and let us check in early
• rodolfo (10/5): Una limpieza y unas camas confortables. limpias - Esa habitacion 3 con esa vista es un regalo de la naturaleza y un escenario esplendoroso
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Our room (#2) was next to the restaurant/bar, the door and window towards the restaurant as well. We ha to have the shades drawn all the time to have some privacy. Despite this very special arrangement, the room was quiet. Very nice and polite personnel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay - We always enjoy this place. Great food
• Dave (10/5): - Nice, open bar in the center with view of their dock from the back. Also, the rooms are quickly accessible, being steps away from the bar and dinning tables.
• Lois (10/5): - One of the best hotel experiences we've had. Michael, the manager, treated us like family from the first moment. Big, comfy room, great service. We'd go back in a moment.
• Rey (10/5): - Location, restaurant, staffs, the view. Highly recommend it
• Verified traveler (8/5): especially for boaters or boating fans - right on the water with a pier for ab out a dozen yachts. Decent food friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great restaurant
• Nam (10/5): Nice hotel in Golfito, comfy and safe. - Great hotel in Golfito area. We were given room #3 which has a great view of the bay! The room was clean and had everything we needed: wifi, cable, AC, fridge, cafe maker, and was clean and plenty of space for two. The hotel is designed rather interestingly with one wall looking out into the dinning area/bar. We had the curtains shut the entire time so it was not issue. Despite facing the noise of the bar/dinning area, it was always quiet at night when we went sleep. :) My only gripe is the included breakfast. It was simple and never changed. Not horrible but some more options would be nice. We ate dinner at the hotel once and it was very good, plus they have a very good Happy Hour. Overall, I'd recommend Fish Hook Marina and we'd come back if we visit Golfito again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great experience and great food and stafffs. Location and the view was great. The staffs were professional and greeted us politely.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Warm staff and very helpful - We arrived late and were greeted with open arms. Nice view of the gulf from the restaurant and common area. Nice dock to get closer to the water.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good for short stay. There is room for improvement - The location of the hotel is good if you are planning to visit the downtown Golfito area or any other nearby attractions. The hotel is not very big and the parking lot (which is located outside besides the main street in front of the hotel) is quite small. This means that depending on how full is the hotel then you might find some difficulties finding a parking space. The staff is very good and they are very costumer satisfaction oriented. The food in the restaurant is good with prices a little bit trending towards the high side but not being very expensive. The provided included breakfast was quite good and sufficient. The rooms are big and the air conditioning was working properly. The beds were comfortable and clean. The TV (32 inch) was very small considering the size of the room and how far the TV is installed from he beds. The major room for improvement can be fount in the bathroom, in general it looks a little bit old showing sings of wear and tear (although it was clean enough and everything was found in good working condition). If one day the hotel decides to begin a renovation then I would suggest starting from the bathrooms.
• mario (8/5): - buena
• mario (10/5): - buena
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 酒店位置不错，服务也还可以的，早餐的给一张MENU五个OPTION让选择。WIFI还可以。缺点是，房间的一面窗户可以直接看到大堂，当然了，要是不拉窗帘，大堂也会看到屋子里。有点奇怪。再就是有些客人打台球很晚，我们在房间里面就会听到打台球的声音，休息不好。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel comodo, limpio, amplias habitaciones. Tal vez deberían mejorar la calidad del menú del restaurante y el horario del servicio que es muy limitado (restaurante cierra a las 9 pm y el servicio a las 10pm)
• Eberhard (8/5): - the room is a great value, the restaurant is not so good.
• Mike (10/5): - This place is amazing !! I will definitely be back. The owner and all the staff are very nice and they make you feel at home. Met some interesting people during my stay and it was hard to leave such a beautiful place.
• María cecilia (8/5): Hotel limpio - La esperiencia fue muy buena ! Todo estuvo correcto
• Lee (10/5): Hotel staff and service was tremendous. - Excellent first time stay at Fish Hook and hope to return soon. Michael, the general manager, bartenders and night watch person were all extremely accommodating with any and all requests we had during our stay. Rooms are large and clean. Location and ocean views are spectacular. Highly recommend this lodge to anyone headed to Golfito based on our stay. Great value.
• Edward (10/5): Pura Vida - Great 3-day stay! Michael and his staff are very friendly, attentive and thorough. It's a beautiful setting, very tranquil with a very pleasant ambiance. Rooms are very comfortable and well appointed with beautiful rosewood furniture. Convenient local and long distance bus service just outside the door. We would highly recommend Fish Hook Marina to all our friends!
• patrick (10/5): Tourisme - Habitués à voyager, si cet établissement servait d'exemple pour les autres, il n' y aurait que des clients 100% satisfaits
• Verified traveler (6/5): Buena ubicacion - La habitación estaba a la par de la cocina y eran las 10 pm y había un poco de ruido por la cocina y una mesa de billar cercana, el desayuno no fue de buena calidad, las instalaciones son buenas y tiene una linda vista al golfo.
• Andrew (10/5): - The hotel service and their willingness to help with anything was excellent.
• mikael (8/5): great little gem - Was a great stay, for 2 nights. It was quiet and peaceful
• DEISY (10/5): - Excelente vista y desayuno
• Franco (6/5): - Golfito è un luogo solo per amanti di pesca d'altura, non c'è nulla da vedere e nulla da fare, molto dispersivo in lunghezza e per gli,spostamenti devi utilizzare solo il taxi. Più che un hotel direi che si tratta del club dei proprietari delle barche ormeggiate.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Recomendado - Salimos encantados con la ubicacion su vista y el servicio ademas su comida es muy buena.
• Alfonso (10/5): Excelente Hotel, cien por ciento recomendado. - Recomendado totalmente, el servicio del personal excelente, la comida excelente, las habitaciones muy grandes con cama King muy cómoda y vista a la marina y el golfo, el mobiliario de maderas auténticas decorada muy hermoso, el baño muy espacioso y limpio, el internet WIFI alcanzó los 11 Mbps, lo que facilita realizar cualquier negocio en línea de ser necesario, además su ubicación muy cerca del centro de la cuidad.
• Jose (10/5): A true hidden gem - We came here to eat and decided to stay after looking at the big spacious rooms. The bec was super comfortable with great pillows. The bathroom was really nice with lots of hot water. The manager/owner super accomidating.
• ruben (10/5): EXCELENCIA¡¡ - dese el chek in fue muy buena atención, constantemente se destacan por la buena atención al cliente ,comodidad ,privacidad,aseo¡¡¡ de hecho estamos pensando dios primero ¡¡¡regresar el próximo año¡¡¡
• David (8/5): huge room, friendly staff - The only thing is the rooms open directly into the bar so there is potental for some noise. The night I stayed the bar was closed, so no noise problems for me.

  The bed was a little hard for my taste, but still sleepable. My room and at least one other room had a window facing the marina and had some really nice bay/ marina views. Most the rooms however have windows facing directly into the bar. People can walk right outside the window but thanks to some heavy reflective tinting, can't see into the room. The windows are made of pretty heavy duty materials and can't be opened, so I didnt feel any security problems. But there could be a privacy issue because everyone at the bar can see when you enter and leave the room

  The hotel is in a nice area, right on the water and within a pretty easy walk of nearby restautants, and if you arrive by boat, well I dont know how they work that (I arrived by bicycle), but it is cool seeing all the fancy yaughts parked there.

  Wifi worked well in both the room and bar.

  The staff was friendly and very helpful, especially to a couple of foriegn visitors who ran into misfortune on their journey. I'd stay agian.
