Welcome to Hotel La Gaviota Tropical, where the rooftop pool might just be your new favorite spot. This boutique hotel is a rare find, locally owned, warm-hearted, and quietly luxurious. And here’s the twist: the rooftop pool wasn’t part of the original design. The owners added it after realizing how breathtaking the sunsets looked from above. And now you get the chance to enjoy it too.
This is the kind of hotel where you can walk barefoot from your room to the ocean, and the place where mornings begin with the scent of fresh gallo pinto and evenings end with a happy hour drink in hand. Rooms have thoughtful details like kitchenettes and sofa beds, something great whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with the whole crew.
Hungry? You don’t have to go far. The on-site restaurant serves up Latin American flavors with a local twist, and it’s popular with both travelers and locals, always a good sign. The vibe? Family-friendly, no-fuss, and authentically Costa Rican. From snorkeling and diving adventures to peaceful naps under the garden’s palms, this is the kind of spot where your vacation actually feels like a vacation.
