Detailed Reviews
The accommodations were lovely and comfortable. The front desk service was attentive, accomadating and friendly. I loved the local art lining the hallways. A nice respite from driving and appointments. The pool was clean, attractive and large enough to swim laps.
The restaurant service was good, the food was mediocre, but not overpriced. I went for dinner at 6:30 ish. There were 2 middle aged couples and myself. No other customers in the pool or bar restaurant area. The music was very loud, disco lights, etc. No one was dancing, just straining to hear each other. It was not conducive to a relaxing enjoyable dinner. I love to dance, but it was not the right time or crowd for the music and lights.
I will stay here again, requesting a room away from the restaurant area, and dine elsewhere. Wish they could read their clientele and respond appropriately. I rarely review negatively, but the place is very classy except for the forced disco scene.
The music is audible from my lovely room at 10 pm ( Just when the party starts in Central America). I have to awake at 5:30 am. Ughh!

Im really unsure about some of the other reviews on here as we had a perfectly lovely stay. Here is the deal, Golfito is a tiny town. Most of the hotels are older and the home vacation rental websites are sparse. Casa Roland is a little on the older side, but we had a great stay. Excellent staff. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly. They accepted our small dog with a fee, which was so needed and appreciated on our part. The room was adequate. Yes, they are a bit dated - but - the room was very clean, had a TV, and wifi. They also had a dehumidifier and great A/C. They also have private, off street parking. They are located very close to the duty free zone, which was the purpose of our trip. You could technically walk if it were a sunny day and you were a bit adventurous. Its also walking distance to Air Sansa if you are flying in. Normally we do not like hotel food, but out of sheer shopping exhaustion we had dinner at the hotel. GREAT pizza and snacks. Everyone’s food around us also looked really good. Excellent service in the restaurant. Also had a really good complimentary breakfast. Some of the best gallo pinto! The staff was super flexible and friendly when we needed a later check out. They have a great policy for that. We would totally stay again simply based on location and restaurant. Here is the deal, if you are from the U.S. you must remember that Costa Rica does not have large scale chain hotels outside of the capital city, and that is the joy and beauty of the country. We would totally recommend Casa Roland to anyone.

Our stay included a short time at the pool. The pictures on the website are much nicer than the actual pool area. Our pool stay was interrupted by a group of about 12 men who "took over" the area. Loud music blaring from their "synced speakers", walking around the pool carrying beer bottles (lucky no one dropped a bottle) and smoking in, yes "IN" the pool. Not one staff member asked them to stop. Stayed on a Saturday night and they had a live band playing until after midnight. We are on the main floor and the band was across the street but was so loud we could not sleep. Went to the check in desk at 23:40 and there was no one at the desk for the evening hours. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The hotel is difficult to find and there is nothing near the hotel. There are a number of dining options within a short car ride. Probably not go there again on a Saturday night.

So many problems with this place. We stayed on the first floor and the ceiling was so low I could touch it! The hallways and room were dark, damp and smelled of mildew. We hoped that by running the air conditioning the mildew smell would go away but that didn't work. So we asked for a new room and they gave us one that had a big dehumidifier running! The hotel was almost empty so we didn't understand why we got such a poor room with hardly any guests. The place felt abandoned. We went to dinner and the food wasn't good. In the morning the free breakfast was not good, even the pinto was dry. The restaurant is near the pool and so much was in bad shape, In the restrooms most of the faucets and toilets were out of service. So much of the hotel was in need of maintenance, it was probably a nice place many years ago. The last straw was we had a reservation for three nights and when we said we wanted to cancel the third night they said their policy was we had to pay. On check-in they had charged us for all three nights and said we had needed to cancel on check-in. Note that this was the morning of the second day for it was way more than 24 hours in advance of the third night. I've never encounter this policy in all of my hotel stays, what a joke!!

The hotel needs to be renovated. The a/c at my room was very old and very noisy. Location is good but overall the hotel needs to be updated. During weekends the hotel opens the pool for a fee causing to be crowded. Some areas of the hotel are kind of abandoned.

We have been to more than 30 hotels in Costa Rica, the Casa Roland was the worst hotel we ever seen in this beautiful country. The woman at the reception was very unkind and shows no interest for guests. Room was dark but clean, bathroom was old and 1 star standard. The bed was okay. You have to cross the road to get to the pool area, which is loud and busy. It’s a public pool and seems that people visit the hotel only because their shopping tours. The food at the restaurant ( we had pasta) was bad and the breakfast was really bad. The city of Golfito is very old and ugly, we don’t recommend to visit it. Also the hotel is on the Same Standard, really bad! We will never come back !

We stayed for 3 nights in that hotel, the first night we felt strange and constant noises during the morning, however we did not pay much attention but if we socialized the experience; the next day we returned to the rooms and at midnight strange noises began on the tables, on the chairs, they threw me the door of the bathroom very hard, there is no natural air current that has caused it, after an hour they turned off my TV and I did not feel calm or at ease. Out of fear, I went to my room to take shelter and there they were also scaring, weird noises sounded in the chairs. The worst thing is that the next morning I approached the hotel workers and told them about my experience and they laughed, they said yes, that there they were scary, that they saw a man and a child wandering; and why have they done nothing about it? The hotel is very dark and old, there are many abandoned areas. One wants to rest in hotels not spend unveiled every night fearing that something will happen.

As always, an excellent stay at the best hotel in Golfito. The rooms are beautiful, the staff very attentive and the food in the restaurant was wonderful. I have visited them many times and on this occasion, a jump in superior quality is noticeable. Congratulations and you will continue to be my first option. Thank you!

The resort once once nice, but is now tired looking. The pillows were terribly lumpy, but the worst part was the black mold on the ceiling and walls. When we mentioned it and asked to change rooms, we were shown 4 other rooms, each of which had a different level of mold. Unacceptable! My husband is severely asthmatic so we are extremely lucky he didn't have an asthma attack.

Good hotel in relation to quality/price, our room had several problems but the response was quick and attentive and they even changed our room. The staff is attentive and friendly, the pool is a little dirty and very full since access is allowed to anyone not staying at the hotel, so on free days or holidays it will be very busy. Point to improve breakfast service and quality
