El Hotelito Del Golfo

Nice small and friendly hotel.  We had Room 5 .. the room was clean with a large bed, they have extra pillows if you need. Good shower small balcony with a partial sea view. Fridge in the room and plenty of wardrobe space. Breakfast was included and could be taken inside or on the veranda. Continental affair breads, cheese, meat, yoghurt, fruit, jam, cake and eggs cooked differently each day.  We didn't use the pool as it was a bit chilly but the area looks very nice. El Golfo as a village is very quiet and quite a few restaurants were closed or only opened during the day when all the tourists arrive  which left very little options at night. Everywhere was closed by 9pm..  or even earlier.  So don't expect late relaxing evening dining.  There is a really nice walk from the village down to Playa el Paso along the coastal lava fields,  then returning inland via a couple of Volcanoes. And of course the green lake. Good location for easy access to the National park.

We enjoyed two nights here in a sea view room. Spotlessly clean with a lovely bathroom. We really appreciated the beautifully presented breakfast, simple but delicious. For dinner you need to visit one of the village restaurants - but beware evening opening is a little erratic during the winter months and most close early.

What a great find. We stayed in room 8 with amazing balcony and sea views. Lovely understated little gem of a hotel. Great breakfast, lovely staff, altogether a great 3 night stay. Lovely way to see el golfo at night. Highly recommend. Parking was good in the front of the hotel. Pool immaculate and everywhere really clean. Great to wake op to the sound of the sea
