Amaka Ocean Living Lodge in Golfito is an intimate, artful waterfront hotel set right on the calm waters of Golfito Bay beside the marina.

Waterfront setting: The lodge sits on Golfito Bay in Marina Bahía Golfito, giving many stays a front-row view of boats, mangroves, and the glassy gulf water.

Thoughtfully designed rooms: The property is a small, 10-room lodge with views toward the marina or green mountains, aiming for a relaxed, eco-luxury feel rather than a big-resort atmosphere.

In-room comforts: Room options include king and double layouts, with air-conditioning and private bathrooms; some ocean-view rooms add details like a hammock, desk, cable TV, coffee maker, safe, and mini-fridge.

On-site dining: Amaka Ocean Living Lodge has a Latin American restaurant plus a beachfront bar and restaurant, making it easy to keep meals and sunset drinks close to your room.

Relaxation spaces: A rooftop hot tub is a standout for winding down with views over the forested shoreline and the bay.

Nature-forward excursions: Staying here places you near rainforest adventures, including access toward the protected landscapes around the Osa Peninsula and day trips toward Piedras Blancas National Park.

No classic beach scene: This is a marina-and-bay stay, so travelers expecting a sandy beach directly out front may find the shoreline experience different.

Small-property limits: With only a handful of rooms, availability can be tight, and the overall facilities may feel more boutique than “full resort.”
