We were upgraded to a very nice room overlooking the beach. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our stay included breakfast and dinner- excellent food. Drake Bay is a remote area so it was nice to have everything provided by the hotel. When we took a day tour to Corcovado National Park, the boat picked us up at the beach in front of the hotel.
We stayed in room 20. Awesome view. Close to the office,breakfast and dining room/bar.
Because this was low season, not a lot going on. Very quite. We had dinner 2 night with the cheif Sofia. What great meals.
We walked into the small town for 3 other dinners. The Managers had very good recommendations. Also very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

The hotel is in the beach, a 4 minute walk from town. They cremated tours to cano island and Corcovado national park, which was super convenient. They arranged a fun evening for all the guests on Christmas Eve. The staff are superb.

A good option for a short stay after the rustic adventure in Corcovado National Park. The staff were friendly, there is direct access to the beach, and the terrace offers a beautiful view. The rooms are set up in an American hostel style and are somewhat difficult to access, but the staff help with carrying luggage. We found the shower curtains unhygienic — this really feels outdated. A 4x4 is recommended for reaching the hotel, but that applies to the entire Drake Bay area anyway.
Mila was exceptional & always greeted us with a warm friendly smile. She helped accommodate us as a family member was sick. Mila also went out of her way to help me celebrate my birthday
We stayed at the very top of the property which was amazing but not for those who are elderly or struggle with a step climb.

We loved the location in the view. I realize this was off-season, but their restaurant was not open. Neither was their bar and we did not have any notice of that. Also, one morning the Cook did not show up so we missed the included breakfast. The room was clean And I would stay there again, but just be aware that all services may not be available. The manager was very helpful getting us taxi back-and-forth to the airport.
The staff was helpful, warm and kind. The room was stunning. Wrap around windows, including the bathroom shower. Views of the ocean and up the hill into the trees. We regularly watched pairs of macaws fly in front of us. Immaculately clean. The coffee and yogurt served in the dining hall were unusually tasty.
I highly recommend staying here if you go to Osa. Ask for room 3! Many of the tours depart from here, and it's the closest to the supermarket and laundry.
Be aware that the rooms are very small with little storage space. However, if you came by plane - you likely only have a backpack anyway. Also it is hard to find the main office.
The room and bathroom were really nice and comfortable considering the situation in drake bay. It is very close to drake bay port. We really liked our stay here.

The hotel has a beautiful settling on the beach in a private settling. The staff was very attentive making sure that various arrangements were coordinated.
We were greeted warmly by the day manager as our boat arrived. She told us we were being given an upgrade with a lovely ocean view. They went out of their way to help us including a very early breakfast before leaving for an overnight stay at La Sirena. Really appreciated the extra help.
All in all a beautiful hotel on a beautiful beach! A short walk from Drake Bay and many dining options. The complimentary breakfast with an ocean view with traditional Gallo Pinto was delightful, though the dinner was a little disappointing for the price. My only real criticism would be the annoying noise from their building projects.
