About

Gollo Palmar, on Costa Rica, sits in Provincia de Puntarenas, contiguo al colono, frente a calle del comercio, within easy reach of San José and the Pacific resort towns of Tamarindo, Jacó and Manuel Antonio. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward local stop rather than a polished tourist operation, so arriving with a little Spanish and patience pays off. The venue draws a 4.1 out of 5 average from 81 reviews, a solid record that reflects steady local custom. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida.

Reaching Gollo Palmar from the main resorts is manageable by car or bus, with San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all within a day's travel. Its position in Provincia de Puntarenas places it on the Pacific side of the country. A website at http://www.gollotienda.com/ carries further detail.

Costa Rica has a tropical climate with a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, so planning around those months helps. The country lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with volcanic ranges running down its centre.

Visitors rating the venue at 4.1 out of 5 across 81 reviews tend to be those already familiar with the area. For a first trip, the dry season months make travel easier, and a few words of Spanish go a long way in shops and sodas. Gollo Palmar fits naturally into a route that takes in the Pacific coast and the towns listed above.
