We loved it here. The hosts were amazing. So helpful and friendly. The view from the breakfast bar was stunning. We saw macaws, monkeys and lots of other birds up close.

A few small things. We could have used some more information/communication about the snorkeling excursion we planned through them so that we could have been more prepared in advance. The bathroom light is very dim, so it's hard to see in there and in the shower. The hammock was not comfortable. It was kind of like sitting on a tightrope.

This is a very pretty property. The breakfast was delicious and filling- eggs, rice & beans, plantains, avocado, toast, coffee, orange juice. Our room had an ocean side view from the patio, and a huge window on another side with a view of the rainforest. The "deluxe bungalow" is very spacious and clean. Our last night we had a very special presentation. A family member of the property owners performed for us with two members of her dance group. The were in traditional outfits, and even invited us to dance a few with them at the end. They had homemade tamale samples and drinks as well. This was for the July 25 holiday there that is to celebrate freedom of the Nicoya region from Nicaragua. The location is great. It's very close to the main beach, but was peaceful and quiet. As others mentioned, it's a steep climb, but the town is pretty hilly so it's not that out of the ordinary.

The approach is steep, which is fine. The problem is it’s really slippery as well so you have to take care walking up and down. We also didn’t dare take the car up as it wasn’t a good quality 4x4: good enough for the road to Drake but wasn’t risking it on the hill…

Given all the rave reviews about the view, we were somewhat confused to find ourselves in a private cabin in the forest with no view at all. After some discussion with Daniel, we moved up to the ´Casa Principal’, which is less private but did afford us a spectacular bird show of hummingbirds, tanagers, macaws, parakeets every morning as well as incredible views of the bay. The main house has 4 rooms so we did share the place for 2 nights with another couple but they didn’t mind our children! Pedro and Yami are wonderful hosts and their staff are very friendly and will help you with booking tours, dragging luggage up and down the hill and just generally shooting the breeze. The breakfast is a little steep for a family of 5 ($12pp!) but the kitchen is large and well equipped so we could organise our own breakfasts and dinners on the deck with the best view in Costa Rica! A magical place to stay!

The climb up the hill to the hotel is steep, slippery, and a bit tiring but isn't enough of a reason to keep me away. I would love to stay at the hotel again.

Best view I've ever had while eating breakfast. The breakfast bar overlooked the bay. Which is beautiful, but they make it better by putting bananas on a post about 25 feet in front of you. Birds of all colors come to feed. There is a bird identification guide available..

The coffee shop was never open. So we had to drink beer.

Brilliant accommodation, great views, very relaxing, great hosts. A bit of climb up the hill Pedro acted as a taxi service moving our luggage and us up and down to the boats. I recommend travelling by boat rather than driving across country it was a great experience as long as you don't mind getting your feet wet... there are no jettys.

Electricity goes out everywhere when it's heavy rainfall, but that's nothing anyone can control. It comes back on pretty quickly.

Our stay at Casa Horizontes in Drake Bay was absolutely magical! The spacious house with AC in both bedrooms provided perfect comfort after days of jungle adventure. What truly sets this place apart are the extraordinary hosts - from the moment we stepped off the boat in Sierpe, our host was there to greet us and drive us up to the house (despite it being just a short walk away). They welcomed us into their own home for fresh juice and fruit while we took in the breathtaking ocean views - a moment I'll never forget. The location is perfect - you feel completely immersed in the rainforest while being just a 3-minute walk down the hill to the ocean. Having the supermarket and several amazing restaurants nearby with incredible food and drinks made everything convenient. The beautiful hiking trail close to the property was an unexpected bonus for morning explorations. But I must emphasize - the hosts are what make Casa Horizontes truly special. Their genuine kindness, honesty, and incredible hospitality elevated our entire Drake Bay experience. They were so accommodating with every request and went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome. I left with not just wonderful memories but profound respect for these goodhearted people who made our stay unforgettable. If you're visiting Drake Bay, you absolutely must experience Casa Horizontes!

The property was beautiful and the staff went above and beyond in their hospitality including picking me up from the airport, arranging tours, and even giving me a few rides from town. The breakfast was delicious with an incredible view including stunning birds and toucans stopping by while you eat.

Casa Horizontes is a series of separate bungalows up a steep hill overlooking Drake Bay. We arrived by boat from Sierpe and were met on the beach by Pedro, the owner, who drove us the short distance up to our bungalow. Danny met us there and showed us the facilities before taking us up to the reception/dining area to have a welcome drink and some fresh fruit whilst we checked in. The bungalow was clean and tidy and had a small kitchen with a fridge, hob and a kettle. The hotel supplied two large bottles of water, which were replaced when needed, which was a nice touch. The bungalow was in the middle of the forest and so nature is all around as well as inside from time to time! There was air conditioning and ceiling fans in the bungalow which was essential as it was extremely hot. It is a 10 minute walk to the nearest mini market and restaurants and about 5 minutes to the town beach. The hotel offers breakfast and dinner but there are also alternative options in town.

Steep access way

We had rented the Casa bosque which is an absolut gorgeous place to stay, in the middle of the forest with the most beautiful views. We coul see Iguanas and birds just on the tree in front of us. We were in the dry season. The access path when by foot is partially really steep, in the dry season this was doable for us. They picked us up at arrival with a car, so Seth lugguage was not a problem. Breakfast quite pricy for 12USD, but it comes with an other nice view and bird feeding just in front.Wwe had an own kitchen.

Some would say the steep, narrow path up the hill to get to it, but we got a 4x4 up it. If people don’t want to do this they can leave their car at the base of the hill. The manager will take the suitcases up and down in his car, so there is no problem.

Beautiful views of Drake Bay below. Exocrine birds on their feeders very close to us. Peaceful away from the dogs and children in the town.

The noise from taxi boats revving their engines and doing doughnuts in the bay is a problem for all of Drake Bay. Casa Horizonte is slightly away from the centre so less affected than some places

Old wooden house overlooking Bahía Drake - and what fantastic views.🤗 Garden full of birds; lots of rangers and hummingbirds, trees in front of veranda often had motmots, toucans or macaws. Staff (Daniel and Glori) really helpful, especially dealing with the early morning departures for boats to Corcovado or Sierpe - Pedro even collected and delivered us to the boat terminal (beach).

The location was amazing overlooking the beach. The staff, especially Daniel and Glori were so accommodating and friendly. They set up our excursions and pointed is on the right direction for food and atv rentals. The facility is nothing short of perfect.

The people Who own it are wonderful, the place has beautiful views and is quiet and the breakfast is just a MUST you have to do before going touring. The were extremely nice in providing breakfast even at 5:30am! Definitely recommend it and would love to go back again!

The walk up the hill was slippery after rain and not much light.

I loved how closed it was to the main beach where most tours go from! And breakfast was amazing every day.

Be prepared for the challenging drive up - very steep :)

The house is very spacious and comfortable. Beautiful location and the view from the breakfast place are the bonus! The family running it is extremely helpful!

The property is up a very steep driveway and trail that can be slippery, so I’d be careful if you’re not comfortable with that.

Great communication, they were really helpful arranging rides to the airport and answering questions.

Nothing, it was perfect

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Horizontes. Our hosts went out of their way to help us with transport from the airport and with arranging a super early breakfast before we left for Corcovado national park. We would recommend very highly
