GreenPoint Drake Bay, hotel in Drake

Located in Drake, GreenPoint Drake Bay has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi. There is free private parking and the property has paid airport shuttle service.

What an amazing place . It feels like living in a super comfortable tree house and one can watch all sort of birds and monkeys and lizards that come right to the vernadah. The place is spacious and very clean and the hosts very accommodating to your needs . The food is amazing and very filling and healthy . I loved the night tour as well!

Casa Jade, hotel in Drake

Located in Drake, a 2-minute walk from Colorada, Casa Jade has accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are offered.

Casa Jade is in an ideal location, looking over Drake Bay. There are lots of parrots that roost in the trees there and they fly in at night, really special! The common kitchen and sitting area is ideal for making a meal and meeting guests from all over the world. The basic cabins are small but adequate and I felt like I was sleeping in the jungle in our cabin with garden view! I loved it. There are options for AC or without AC. The owner, Henar, was so kind and helpful, she is the perfect host.

Corcovado Adventures, hotel in Drake

Corcovado Adventures features a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Drake.

We loved our stay in one of the beachfront tents here. Very unique experience! The included breakfast was great, as well as the dinner and drink options. The tents had electricity and we were provided with a fan, which made for a comfortable sleep. Just charge your devices in the common areas or you may cause a power outage that may not be restored until the next morning if the staff have gone to bed.

Corcovado Guest House, hotel in Drake

Corcovado Guest House offers accommodations in Drake, only 0.6 mi from Los Planes Corcovado National Park and 3.1 mi from the beach.

If you love to stay in the middle of nature, this is the perfect place. Heaven on earth. The house is comfortable and well equipped. You can see a lot of birds and some monkeys around the garden. Mike has always been super supportive each time we had a question. It was heartbreaking to leave this place after 4 days.

Life for Life Hostel Drake Bay Home of Sea Turtle Marine Conservation Project Osa Peninsula near San Josecito Beach, hotel in Drake

Facing the beachfront in Drake, Life for Life Hostel Drake Bay Home of Sea Turtle Marine Conservation Project Osa Peninsula near San Josecito Beach has a restaurant and a garden.

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.

All hostels in Drake
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We had a wonderful time in Drake. Chiba Lodge is brilliant if you are looking for budget accommodation...very basic but clean, comfortable. Our room had AC and the breakfast was delicious...a choice of 6 options. Owner really friendly and helped us to boom trips with Drake Divers which is right next door. Also, the bakery above the accomodation made lovely brioche, bread, cookies etc...Great for taking to the beach.

    Great location on the hill, excellent views over the area. Quiet at night with sounds from wildlife all around. Overall a nice cabin just big enough for a family of four. Host served breakfast at 5 am on days with early tour activity. Eating your food at sunrise with macaws passing by is simply breathtaking.

    Great location, amazing views over the bay. We saw a toucan in a tree within 5 minutes of arriving. Lodge was well equipped and comfortable.

    It was perfect! I originally booked for just one night and ended up staying there for over two weeks! The hostel is in a great location. You are in the middle of nature but also in 10-15 minutes in the center. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food you can order in the hostel was delicious! I also booked my tours through the hostel and was very happy with them, I was very well advised. I would come back any time! 🥰

    This is a no frills, budget place that is quite far removed from the action in Drake bay. It would take 45 minutes walking along a very dusty road to get to town, so we chose taxi transport every time. However, it had tons of character, was clean and quiet, felt very safe, and had interesting and friendly guests. The “private” beach was lovely. Our room had a refrigerator (but there was a communal one nearby), air conditioning and a noisy ceiling fan. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Food was good but not especially inexpensive.

    Lovely hotel - everything spotlessly clean. Great location with views over the forest to the sea. The manager was extremely helpful and arranged a 4 x 4 overland transport to our next destination (Puerto Jiminez). Much quicker and cheaper than the alternative of Boat and long and expensive taxi ride.

    Best hostel in the area! Staff is amazing and super welcoming. Did a bunch of tours with Sukia as well and they were all amazing. Stayed in both the bungalow and shared dorms and enjoyed both. It's a little up the road, but way quieter than by the beach, plus you pass a few restaurant and supermarkets on your way out and in. The hostel does events a couple times a week, check em out!

    This accommodation is top end hostel / budget hotel category. If you were paying those prices that would be fine, but Las Cotingas markets itself as something more, which invariably disappoints. Positives: Great views from communal areas or sea view rooms; helpful staff who helped with bags from boat.

    One of the best hostels. The service is perfect, when you need something or have a question, the owner helps you and is friendly. All was very good there and the view over the sea from the hostel is incredible. When I'm again here I will book it definitely again. Thank you
