I can't recommend cabinas pura vida enough! I communicated with norlyn for months ahead of time, adding rooms, changing days, asking questions , arranging snorkeling. He was always super responsive and kind and patient with me. All this for just one night.
On arrival he was so kind and accommodating for our group. He helped several of us out in different ways and went above and beyond what I've seen anyone do before. We were so grateful. Breakfast was great in the morning, and he drove down to show us where we meet for the snorkeling tour.
The rooms were surprisingly clean and felt nice. The air conditioning was fantastic!! I would totally stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, clean, safe place to stay.

Very nice peaceful place, at the grounds of a friendly costarican family, right on the edge of the rainforest. Beautiful Ganadito beach is at walking distance. The cabin where we slept was new and fine.

The flora and fauna of adjacent parks is amazing but you must visit them with a guide for the appropriate access and to really appreciate what is there. Drake is a the ideal place from which to reach the parks. We travelled to Drake Bay by intercity bus from San Jose and connected with the ferry. The "wet landing" was a first for us - a genuine adventure where the ferry assistants wade your luggage to shore on their shoulders and the passengers just focus on getting themselves to shore. The ferry takes an hour or so through amazing mangroves. Make sure to tell your hotel to book you on the ferry to avoid misunderstanding -- there are only two ferries per day and you don't want to lose a day/night in Sierpe.
The park is amazing --book a tour well in advance as daily entries are limited. Access to the park is by boat. Birds galore, several species of monkey including the mighty howler, tapirs, two species of ant eater, and many more creatures. We did the snorkeling tour too which was also amazing. We saw deep sea turtles, sharks, manta rays and a plethora of species of fish. Beautiful, pristine and rules about not interrupting wildlife. For example, we were watching a turtle and she started to rise for air and we all had to move back 4-6 metres and we had the joy of then watching her float on the surface for a while and just rock in the waves. Being herself and breathing without feeling anxious

The town, while not a secret by any means, has still avoided the trappings of rampant tourisim. There is a local vibe that is genuine and refreshing.. I like that the town is still a bit rough on the edges.
The abundance of world class outdoor experiences is the icing on the cake.

It is a very peaceful place, we definitely recommend it. Beautiful walking trail to san josecito, magnificent view, good restaurants (kalaluna & coco cafe), a lot of activities. You have access to the Corcovado NP, waters are calmer than most beaches in costa rica (good for swimming). Snorkeling tour to cano was great!

It is a very remote, relaxed place.
It is a very remote, relaxed place. Great to experience the simple life. There is a beautiful hiking trail along the coast line to more secluded beaches. Many activities to be done from the beach, including day trips to Corcovado national park, night tours, snorkelling trips.
The beach itself is not amazingly beautiful- it’s not pristine white sand and clear waters- it has a very rustic feeling and there are no beach bars. But there are places to eat just up from the beach or grab a drink from the supermarket. We saw a lot of wildlife! Scarlet macaws are flying around. There’s a nice restaurant called Lookout restaurant with good food and a great view over the bay.

In Drake there is Corcovado Park, snorkeling, scuba diving and a public trail at the end of the beach to hike. 3 - 4 days is sufficient. Would take boat in from Sierpe, not drive in. The road is 25 km of NOT maintained gravel road, so potholes. NEED. 4 x 4 to get into town.
The hotel was located walking distance from the beach. Our host, Yami, had us picked up from the boat when we arrived and brought us to our room. We had a room with a private bathroom and it was very clean and comfortable:-) There were nice touches in the room including fresh flowers, water, & juice. We ate a delicious breakfast which was served on an open patio with a lovely view of the beach! Yami accommodated us with luggage storage and transported us back to the beach to catch our boat when we departed. It was perfect for us.
Great place to stay at drake bay, really close to the best restaurant we found in drake bay by miles (casa el tortugo drakes kitchen) 5 minutes walk to the beach and had a supermarket next door!
Comfortable bed, views of the jungle from the kitchen/sitting area where we spotted a large variety of wildlife, amazing hosts, gave us loads of info of how best to get to drake bay as it’s very remote.
Couldn’t of asked for a better place to base ourselves at drake bay highly recommend to anyone coming to the area.
Emilio and Johnny were fantastic hosts; they organized trips and transport, accommodating early breakfast or dinner when needed (via a nifty whiteboard system). The family style dinners (very tasty) were a nice way to meet fellow guests. Nice open common area with telescope to view birds from the deck. The bungalows are very private with fantastic view and open-air bathrooms. Recommended: the unguided hike from Playa Rincon to Bahia Drake via jungle paths and beautiful beaches.
Fantastic atmosphere at Gitana. We loved our time here and could happily have stayed for longer. We made the most of the private beach, chilled in the garden, and the food at the restaurant was delicious (and we loved spending time with the owners' dogs!). Being able to access tours from the hotel made day trips out seamless as well as the help we received in getting to and from Drake Bay via the boat taxi! We hope to have a chance to come back in the future!
I love the location away from the busy areas in Drake Bay but at a popular beach that people hike hours or take a boat to get to, the purpose behind the hotel (turtle project), the food is really good, the value is great. Recardo is a very nice man and everyone working there is friendly and helpful. Cheap tours available of the Rio Claro. You get to experience being immersed in the jungle and at night can hear the jungle and waves crash on the beach.
Drake Bay was our favorite place in all CR! Hotel was great, too - helpful and kind staff, transfer from the ferry to the hotel and back, comfy bed, big and comfortable furnished balcony from where we can enjoy birds and bright nature colours! close proximity to nice bars and restaurants as well as costal hiking trail.
we have as well taken Corcovado tour from the hotel and were very satisfied
The pool, great staff, very good restaurant inside the hotel (and they accept credit card with no extra fee). Petra the owner does a quite amazing job in organising the ferry from Sierpe to Drake Bay and picking you up at the beach. Especially because it is not so easy to get there this is very helpful. And a special thanks goes to the waiter in the hotel restaurant, he was so kind. :)
Really beautiful hotel just up the hill from Drakes Bay. The hotel picked us up from the boat and even gave us an upgrade on our room, which was really comfortable and well equipped with a fantastic view. The pool and seating area are really nice with great views. The hotel was great value for money and we would definitely stay again and opt for the superior room
Really nice hotel with amazing view on the ocean. The breakfast was delicious and served on a balcony in front of the sea. The staff was really helpful and especially Abel who helped us all along with restaurant recommendations, luggage, and booking snorkeling, diving and Corcovado tours. I highly recommend and thanks Las Cotingas for this unique stay!
A very good place in drake bay. The family who owned this hotel are such a great and nice people. They helped with everything I needed . The mother also waited for me to come with the boat from sierpe and took me to the hotel .
Tha location is perfect - 5 min walk from everything- restaurants and supermarket, and 10 min walk from the beach .
The view from the porch was lovely. The air conditioning worked. Drake Bay has good access to Isla Cano Marine Reserve and the Corcovado National Park, which are both worth a visit if you are into those things. The staff was extremely helpful with luggage, arranging tours, and responsive to requests, but the hotel lacks amenities.
Great location, beautiful view from balcony, very spacious and clean rooms with everything you need. Breakfast was brilliant, especially since we could have at as early as 5:20am, before the start of our tour to Sirena station. The hotel is a 5-10 mins walk from the beach, where the boats depart for excursions.
having pool was wonderful, close to town, staff friendly and helpful to get great tour assist. We watched a monkey in the tree with Our binoculars every eve. you really do have to take a tour or hike to get to beach from Drake Bay.
Juan carlos and his family are amazingly nice and helpfull. The place is nice clean beautiful and surrounded by nature.
Juan will help with anything you can think of and drake bay is an amazing place to be at!
Just go and enjoy.
Property was located in the Center of Drake. Surrounding where lush tropical plants with beautiful sounds of birds and crickets. Pool was finished and excellent and staff was very accommodating. I would recommend this place.
The location, the staff, the food, and the facility were all wonderful. We could not recommend this hotel more highly. Additionally, the guides for the various tours were also very good.
