La Purruja Lodge Golfito

Review by hotel critic

Nestled just outside Golfito, La Purruja Lodge offers a delightful retreat that combines essential comforts with an intimate connection to nature. As a marine biologist with a penchant for observing wildlife, I found the lodge’s serene setting particularly appealing. The grounds are not only well-maintained but also alive with the sounds of local wildlife, from playful squirrel monkeys to an array of vibrant birds. The spacious room I stayed in boasted a mini fridge, allowing for convenience without sacrificing comfort. Daily towel service underscored their attention to guest needs. Guests can enjoy a communal kitchen and picnic area, enhancing the sense of community. While the property lacks opulent frills, it delivers remarkable value for the cost-conscious traveler. A hearty breakfast and the option for laundry services further exemplify the lodge's thoughtful amenities. Not far from the lodge are transport links, making it accessible for those traveling to explore nearby attractions. For a balanced experience of budget and essential comforts, La Purruja Lodge stands out as a commendable choice that respects both your travels and your finances.
