We are a hotel located in Puerto Jiménez, Golfito, Costa Rica, with the aim of providing a great quality of customer service and a familiar atmosphere. Our name was inspired by the flora of our town, for us a leaf worths as gold, we value their presence and we know that there are many places which do not have this beautiful opportunity, for this reason, we decided to name our hotel ''Hoja de Oro ''. Our beautiful town has the amazing Corcovado National Park, which is considered one of the regions with the greatest biodiversity on Earth. Just 3 minutes away from our hotel, you can visit the local beach of Puerto Jiménez. In our town, there are many options for activities, the most famous: Sport fishing, kayaking, ecotourism, animal sighting, hiking in Corcovado National Park, artisanal fishing, bathing in our beautiful beaches and much more.

Perfect stay in Puerto Jimenez

Such a beautiful hotel in Puerto Jimenez! It catches your eye from the outside, beautiful plants and the staff is excellent! They helped us with any questions we had about the area and our room was perfect! AC and hot water, excellent Wi-Fi. We will definitely be back!

Good for a pit stop

It was okay for one night. The room was clean and comfortable, although when we arrived the drains smelled a bit, but it was value for money. The staff were helpful and friendly. It is a good location for the bus. Here is another two hundred characters.

Super clean place, good facilities

Very clean Hosts helpful Strong wifi Effective air con Shared kitchen with free coffee and hot chocolate. Location in neighborhood of restaurants and bus station. I stayed in 2 different rooms: The bigger one was very spacious with window, even incl. balcony. The smaller one without window was just sufficient for one person; but both rooms at nearly the same price.

Wonderful friendly staff and sparkling clean rooms.

The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms are modern, with nice showers. I liked that our room had a hangar rod and plenty of shelves, instead of a closet. We never turned on the tv, but it's fairly new. The main thing to recommend this hotel is the staff. They were just so friendly and pleasant in every encounter, and they are almost always around. Several of them spoke excellent English, and they were patient with us and our struggles in Spanish, which was nice because most people instantly want to switch to English.

Room Tip: Parking is tight. There seem to be plenty of spaces, but you'll sometimes have to share space...

The best place to stay in Puerto Jimenez

We arrived late into Puerto Jimenez and drove around looking at several "hotels." This is a small, out-of-the-way town on the Osa Peninsula. You are not going to find luxury accommodations here. This hotel is the best you are going to find. The owners and staff are extremely friendly. The hotel is spotless and everything is very clean. The room and bathroom are comfortable and clean. You can park your car in a locked parking next to the hotel. They gave us a ticket to eat breakfast the next morning at Soda Nora a small restaurant a block away. This is definitely the place to stay if you are in Puerto Jimenez.

A Great Stay with really Great Hosts

We stayed two nights at the Hoja De Oro and enjoyed the entire tome. The family that operates it is very friendly,helpful, and are well versed regarding things going on in PJ. The common kitcn was pleasant as it provided an extra service.

Perfect place with AC to recover from the heat of Costa Rica

Super nice welcome, already felt at home, they did my laundry, the AC worked very well and was quiet, it was a perfect night to recover from the heat before going back into the jungle. I loved the breakfast with typical gallo pinto and egg at the nearby breakfast place. It's all very close to everything, walking distance to bus station and even airport (8min). I came back to this hotel on my way out of Puero Jimenez and I really felt at home again. There can be some noise in the evening and it is on street so there are car sounds, but with earplugs I still slept very well!

Nice family run hostel

This family operated hostel located one block away from the main strip was relaxing and charming. Our room was clean, had a tv, sizable bathroom, and great air conditioning. The breakfast was not in house, but was down the street at a local soda that provided a filling/tasty meal. We enjoyed relaxing in our room after long hikes. There was no hot water (which we were aware of prior to visiting) and the kitchen didn’t have a stove. We were able to make due with the rice cookers.

Nice family own hotel

Our tour guides recommended this hotel to us. We are glad that we accepted his suggestion. This hotel is in good location, close to Main Street, beach, restaurants. At night, it’s quite. The hotel is very clean and is taken good care. Also, they have 24 hours front desk. And, breakfast is in room fee. Our room with balcony is nice. We joined a tour and plan to check out after we r back. However, our tour took much longer time and we contacted hotel. Due to guest will check in soon, they help us put our bags in the front desk. Didn’t charge extra fee. They are so friendly. Even sloth walked to the hotel. So funny. Owner showed pictures and video to us.

Fair price, nice dorm room

I have stayed at ojo de oro several times now, and each time it has been comfortable, easy and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. There's room to store your luggage and even gear such as surfboards. Felt totally safe there, they have a security guard at night. I stay in the dorm, the beds and comfy and there's a big window and two fans. There's a kitchen are you can use, and upstairs has a couch and chairs to relax on. They're happy to let you watch TV although I never do. Very low key, chill place to rest while in Puerto Jiménez.
