The location is perfect, right above the sea with an amazing view. The sunrise and sunset are unforgettable. The food is great, congratulations to the chef. And the best is Mayra, the manager, always available and really helpful.

We stayed for 3 nights at Drake Bay River View. When we met Olman, the property manager, in town & were escorted to the property, he said “Welcome to paradise “ & it WAS paradise. Where do I begin, the grounds are beautiful, there is a river fed by mountain rain water & a natural pool has been created by the falling water. You can go down there & swim , lay in a hammock, or sit by the river. The staff do an outstanding job of cleaning. The room had fresh flowers, well decorated & the towels are high end quality. Breakfast are served to your liking. Olman was incredibly hospitable. He was like our personal concierge. He booked excursions for us, made recommendations for restaurants in the evening & booked reservations at the restaurants for us. He met us at the ocean beach when we were done with excursions to see how we were doing & if we had any needs. He said that River View will transport quests if they do not have a car. He also offers to pick up food from restaurants & bring to your room if you would like. All of the restaurants that we ate at in town were very good. The location is only 10 minutes from downtown, which I thought was great to be away from the crowd but nearby.

We loved staying here! Elmer is extremely nice and helpful. He is a kitchen chef and his food is great and you can see how he loves cooking. Living in the middle of the jungle you can see animals and untouched nature where you would otherwise pay much for a guided tour to Corcovado. The River right in front is great to fresh up. You can go hiking to waterfalls, through his huge property of 120h and he rents boots and tubes for the river. Would come back anytime and recommend to any friend dearly!

The bungalows and dormitory rooms are located right in the jungle, high up on the hill, meaning you are almost on the same level at the animals in the canopies. We saw monkeys, sloths, agoutis and coatis right from our accommodation! There are also lovely trails you can do through the jungle to a river and to the adjacent remote beaches. The hostel bathrooms were always kept clean. The restaurant food and juices were really good. The staff are all wonderful and were very sweet and caring to me when I fell badly the one day, even cleaning up my wound for me. I really appreciated the kindness.

The whole experience was amazing. It is a serious adventure, involving a place ride, taxi ride that literally went over rivers and a 30 minute hike- with gear. I am not sure I would have done it (with partner who has bad knees and 9 yo) if I had known how hard it was to get to- but it was so worth it. Ricardo was so full of life and generosity. John always had plenty of time to help us. In addition to keeping the space spotless, Mar even came up with a birthday cake when we needed one! To be clear- you are staying in tents in the jungle. There are insects. The food is expensive. Your clothes never dry. But you are also on the beach in a glorious, amazing place.
