What a great spot. Literally in the middle of the mangroves. No WiFi, no phone signal, no road noise, no street lights, electricity is solar so no modern conveniences, totally peaceful. Giovanni and his family are so lovely. I missed the share boat from sierpe so paid the €60 ($30 per person) for Giovanni to come get me and it was worth it, he threw in a mini wildlife tour in the mangroves for me, making the 30 min journey into 1.5 hours and me getting to see lots of wildlife (he is very passionate and knowledgable having lived here his whole life, even if you don't stay book a mangrove tour with him) Rosa prepares the best (and biggest) meals I have had in Costa Rica. They catered for me being a vegetarian and unlike most other places I have stayed (rice and beans with veg) put a real effort into making tasty, nourishing and fresh meals. The trail to the beach is a tough 3km hike over the mountain, not like your national park trails, a proper jungle trail (boots and long trousers advised) and wow what a magnificent beach all to one's self... I have travelled all other the place and I've never been to a place so peaceful... A true tropical paradise. If you stay anywhere in Costa Rica, give up your mod- cons and get truley back to nature at isla violin eco Lodge it will probably be the best experience of your holiday!

Above anything else, we cannot thank Anouk and Kevin for going above and beyond to ensure that our family of 6 has the best experience possible in Costa Rica. They are truly amazing. The next time we come, we will need to make sure that we stay longer. Considering the remoteness of this property, it did not make sense to stay only 2 nights like we did. I would have loved to do another kayaking in the mangrove forests, spent an entire afternoon chilling in a hummock, or taken a walk in the neighborhood for bird-watching. At night, there were fireflies everywhere, and you hear howler monkeys in the morning.... It was magical. I also have to comment about the food. Kevin accommodated all our requests (portion size, vegetarian) and still made all of us very happy. He uses local produce and gives his own twist to dishes, which all of us enjoyed quite a bit.

Amazing! Nice host people Great breakfast a bit light View is gorgeous Bedroom is big nice balcony with view Everything was clean and well furnished It was perfect thanks

property located in the heart of Corcovado. Away from tourists and civilization

Pleasantly surprised how updated the room was. Good location in Drake Bay. Little loud with street traffic but I'm guessing this is probably most of the accommodations in Drake Bay. Good overnight stay for a early visit in the park.

The location is amazing, this family business is a true gem and hosts are extremely kind and welcoming! They help you to organize activities and move around and make your staying fantastic!.

Everything was perfect, we loved it. Definitely we would like to come back

Drake Bay is a remote yet breathtaking destination, and our stay at Natural Drake Bay Hotel made our visit truly unforgettable. We spent four nights here as the final leg of our Costa Rica trip, hoping to find a comfortable place that would enhance our experience of this faraway corner of the world. I’m thrilled to say we couldn’t have chosen a better place. Natural Drake Bay is a family-run hotel situated in a stunning location, perched perfectly to offer beautiful views of the bay. Both the pool and restaurant offer stunning views of the bay, creating a mesmerizing scene —at one point, we even saw whales jumping from the water! The beach is also just a 3 minute walk. Patricia, Daniel, and their team, particularly Victor, provide a luxurious experience. Throughout our stay, we felt very well cared for. Everyday, when you arrive, Patricia welcomes you with refreshing, beautifully scented cold towels, which is a wonderful treat after a hot day. Victor then serves the most exquisite fruit juices I’ve ever tasted. Even when activities (Corcovado Park visit, Snorkeling in Caño Island, ….) started at the crack of dawn, they were there to prepare breakfast for you The hotel takes great pride in highlighting local cuisine at dinner, with top quality produce exquisitely cooked. The rooms offer views of the surroundings, which were full of life (Birds, Iguanas, Monkeys) and relaxing in the hammocks was a spectacle in itself. Toucans would perch in the tree next to the cabin, while showering. The toiletries were of high quality, adding to the overall sense of luxury. In summary, Natural Drake Bay Hotel provided us with an exceptional experience, combining comfort, natural beauty, and warm hospitality.

location , views , cleanliness , superb hosts

This place is absolutely amazing. You feel like you are living in the jungle and the pura vida spirit at its maximum. Erikson, the manager, and his family are super nice and helpful. Erikson will help you with anything and will make your time in the peninsula very much easier. The cabans are simple but perfect. You take every day a shower just like if you were in the jungle. They also prepare very good food. All prices are very low. Highly highly recommended !
