Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to visit Hotel Don Robert and explore Reserva Biológica Isla Guayabo?

We recommend visiting during Costa Rica's dry season, from December to April, for the most comfortable weather and optimal wildlife viewing. The calm waters around Isla Guayabo are particularly inviting for boat trips and snorkeling during these months, offering clear visibility.

What unique wildlife encounters can we expect when staying at Hotel Don Robert, given its proximity to Reserva Biológica Isla Guayabo?

While staying at Hotel Don Robert, we've often spotted howler monkeys and sloths right on the property grounds, especially around the lush gardens. The true highlight, however, is the marine life around Isla Guayabo, where we've seen magnificent frigatebirds nesting and occasionally dolphins playing in the Gulf of Nicoya.

What is the overall atmosphere and style of accommodation at Hotel Don Robert?

Hotel Don Robert offers a charming, unpretentious stay with a distinctly local Costa Rican feel, rather than a typical luxury safari lodge. We love the comfortable, clean rooms and the friendly, attentive staff who make you feel like family. The communal areas, particularly the open-air dining space, provide a wonderful vantage point for birdwatching.

Beyond visiting Reserva Biológica Isla Guayabo, what other activities do you recommend doing while based at Hotel Don Robert?

We highly recommend taking a boat tour of the Gulf of Nicoya directly from the nearby docks; it's a fantastic way to explore hidden coves and enjoy the sensational sunsets. The hotel can also arrange fishing excursions or visits to local artisan villages, offering a deeper dive into the region's culture.

How accessible is Hotel Don Robert, and what should we budget for a typical stay?

Hotel Don Robert is best reached by car, as it's a bit off the main tourist routes, which we find adds to its secluded charm. While prices can vary, we've found a comfortable mid-range budget of $150-250 per night, including some meals, to be a good estimate for a pleasant stay.
