Diana, the manager, is wonderful. Organized everything for our trip. had dinner ready for us upon our arrival. Organized a shuttle from san jose airport to her resort and also a cab the following morning to the moin boat launch to go to Tortuguero. Can't imagine staying anywhere else. More

I don't agree with the last review at all ! Yes Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, 50km away, are much nicer towns than Limon, but the Playa Westfalia Hotel is the nicest one around !! Limon is a Industrial port tonw. We went there a few times to walk around, it's not charming but people are very nice... We stayed there... More

The staff is nice, but that's it. Hotel is in the middle of nowhere, you can't walk around to see or visit anything. Breakfast is not included, and the food is bad and expensive. Rooms have shady lights that glow weirdly and gives a terrible atmosphere in the room. Bathroom is huge, which is nice but totally disproportionate in comparison... More

Hi JeCat; Why did it take you 8 months to review the hotel? It looks like maybe you didn't really check the area before traveling as we do not make it a secret about where we are located. The Caribbean side is more laid back & island style, unlike the Pacific side which is very Americanized. As the owner, I... More

We stayed at this hotel as a pit stop before puerto viejo. Its super easy to find as there is a bus that can take there from the limon bus station. You just need to ask the bus driver to stop there. The service there was fantastic and the views were world class. Our accommodation, itself, was fantastic and for... More

This was the first stop on our trip. It had been a long day of travelling into Costa Rica and this was a perfect end to our day. A beautiful property with very clean, modern and safe rooms. The restaurant serves a good mix of traditional Costa Rican meals and options, very tasty and needed after our trip that day.... More

I have come for a much needed relaxation time, and the staff has been beyond compare, the calmness, freedom, and total feeling of security has been amazing. I have sent emails home to Canada, and friends in the USA, suggested to anyone if you want to relax, have super food, be on the beach, swimming pool, hot tub, wi-fi, great... More

I spent several days at Hotel Playa Westfalia just south of Puerto Limon along the Costa Rica Caribbean coast. What a wonderful place to stay; the service, staff, food & overall ambience was extraordinary. Diana Maya is the General Manager, and her extensive background & interpersonal skills, coupled with genuine compassion & love of life helps to make your experience... More

Sitting on your spacious, private adobe-style porch, looking at beautifully landscaped grounds and the moonlight over the ocean, sipping rum and coke after a scrumptious meal on-site, watching dogs play, with in-room coffee…..is this heaven, or what? Our visit was even more enjoyable due to Manager Deanna’s most gracious, competent, friendly and bilingual staff. This is the only place to... More

I have to thank Westfalia hotel for all the wonderful service they provided, always looking after us, between my coworkers and I, we expend almost 6 months and we all agree that is the best place to stay in Puerto Limon. If you want to enjoy the best room, ask for the one on the second floor with the terrace... More

This area of Costa Rica offers very few hotels and most are down right frightening. The Westfalia is a breath of fresh air and the only decent hotel within 40 miles of Limon. It has clean, comfortable rooms, safe and secure location, and extremely friendly staff. They launder your clothes for free and the food is excellent. More
