This place is fantastic. Wonderful location and amenities. The food here is 5-star and the service is even better. I loved the grounds of the hotel. Just be aware there are a lot of steps to get to your room. A lot. Even still I will be back.

Yens and Patrick, the proprietors of Drake Bay Getaway have created a beautiful oasis that is near paradise. From their warm and generosity upon arrival to the commitment to our comfort and happiness, they were ceaselessly attentive to all our needs. The walk to and from the cabin (Bromeliad) surrounded us with spectacular beauty with lush green and the rich blue ocean surrounding us. The cabins are simple and perfect, with breathtaking views of the ocean from our terrace. A massage arranged by...

We spent four nights at Poor Man's, including New Year's Eve. I was hoping to find a place where we could really get away from the world, and this was perfect. We didn't even make any plans ahead of time as far as tours or what to do, but by the time we left we had visited Corcovado, snorkeled on Cano Island, Canoed up the Rio Claro, and swam and relaxed at Playa Josecito. We saw many monkeys and macaws, dolphins and whales, while just hiking and boating on the way to destinations. Lying on the...

My family and I spent 3 nights at Hotel Jacamar. The room was very nice, spacious clean and comfortable. What made the stay fabulous was the young man who worked at the hotel. Leo took care of us and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and feel special. He procured mango and avocado for breakfast when we mentioned that we liked it, asked around at neighboring restaurants if they could make a pizza for my sister, took us to the beach at 6 am to meet our guides for the Corcovado trip and...

The property is located away from town but close enough to walk. There is a fabulous restaurant on site. Very easy access to the beach. Rolando was very informative and helped us get set up for our tour the following morning. The staff were waiting for us when we arrived by boat shuttle and helped with our luggage. Nice place; nice views; staff helpful. I'd go back

My whole family loved our stay at Hotel Margarita in August 2024. The area of Drake Bay was pretty, but it is very rustic (dirt roads, limited dining, restaurants are open-air with no A/C, etc). However, Hotel Margarita definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Room #1 (Luxury Double Room with 1 King, 1 Queen, & 1 Twin bed). The room was updated and the A/C worked great. We were pleasantly surprised to see lots of small toucans right outside our room on multiple occasions during...

Solid choice for stays in Drake. AC in rooms. Fairly simple clean rooms. Saw Capuchin monkeys and other animals in the early morning and evening from the terrace overlooking the forest.
Up the hill from the bay near restaurants.

I had a great stay here. Norlyn gave me directions on how to arrive to Drake's Bay and picked me up from beach. He showed me around the town as well. The hotel was within waking distance of restaurants, hiking trail and beach. It's quiet and has good internet. Breakfast was good. It was clean. The people there were very friendly and helpful. He also helped me to book tours for the week.

My family and I had an AMAZING time staying at Pirate Cove. Our kids are 15, 10 & 6 and they had the time of their life visiting Costa Rica! We did the tour to Sirena ranger station and the Rio claro river float and waterfalls tour. They were both unique and memorable for years to come. I wish we could have had time to do the snorkeling at Cano island( we heard that was fantastic also)-next time for sure! Our cabin overlooked the beautiful ocean and the river that you can kayak for free on using...

Really great staff who really know the area and cultivate the farm. They can give you information on ecology you won't find outside of guided tour groups in the park, and there's also yoga. The property is beautiful and it is easy to see birds.
It is a pretty primitive property and so you should be expecting bug bites and no modern comforts. Bathing in rainwater is amazing, but it is also not warm. Also the ants really bite- I was itchy for a week afterward. So be careful.

A cute super well ran hotel away from town, the staff was the best we've ever had at a location. This is a family run place that makes you feel like family while you are there. The food is great! We stayed 8 days and never repeat a breakfast. The staff set up 7 different excursions with us and coordinated our pick up and drop offs. We snorkeled, went to the national park, went fishing, rode horses on a beach and even floated a jungle river. The whole vacation experience was wild. We got to see...

If you are looking for a regular hotel experience then this is not for you, however if you want a true home away from home experience with the local Tico family then you cannot go wrong with this option.
Edward the reservations lead is always present and the kitchen is run by his mom and sister. The dad is the wealth of knowledge about local area and the uncle is the gardener. The abundant fruit trees was a pleasant surprise and so was the close proximity of the Macaws.
