Difficile la strada per arrivare con sei guadi,e si sapeva, ma poi cento gradini ripidi o ,dal parcheggio,una rampa a tre settori riposa e scivolosa no.Camere nei bungalow piccole e poco arredate bisognose di manutenzione urgente.Staff abbastanza indifferente aiuto per i bagagli all’arriVi nessuno in partenza. Nessuna luce ne’ nella scalinata ne’ nella struttura la notte è la mancanza di un ristorante ( pioveva e la sera due volte la scalinata al buio) completano il quadro. Terribile

Great Place
A very nice family owned hotel! The views are awesome but some comfortable cushions would be a nice addition to the deck chairs. We saw many birds from our deck. The rooms are very clean. The breakfast was very good. The stairs may be hard if you are not in shape. This is a great place to stay.

Traveler BEWARE
If you are looking at this hotel as an option at Drake Bay, click return and look elsewhere. We attempted to reach the hotel after driving for >4 hrs from San Jose to find that there is no passage by land. To reach the hotel, one is required to take a boat for 1 hour on high seas. This was never disclosed at the time of the booking or the fact that the customer needs pay for parking fees at the dock and for the boat ride. Watch for hidden fees. The boat is not affiliated to the hotel so you are on your own. If you are willing to risk your life and that of your family then this is the place for you. Unfortunately, we do not travel by boat/ocean so we turned around. When we requested a full refund, the hotel went silent and stopped all communications with us. We are working with Orbitz who has graciously offered a refund and instructed hotel to disclose transportation options.

The hotel and staff were fine. Drake Bay in general is too tourist oriented and overpriced.Not into herd mentality.

Cool cabin with a view
Las Cotingas is in a great location just up from the beach where you arrive by boat and a short walk to restaurants & shops. The location is up overlooking the stunning bay. We loved the rustic style cabins with ocean view set in nice tropical gardens. We were in a 'partial view' cabin which had a good view with lovely veranda and hammock. The room was spacious with fridge, fans, locker and powerful shower. There is also a common covered sitting area which has a full baywide vista that you can use with wi-fi and where breakfast is served. Breakfast options are eggs, lovely pancakes, fruit and coffee. Free coffee available all the time. Staff are friendly and had helped us book trips before we arrived and transport when we were there. Drake Bay is small and relaxed with a great vibe. Well worth the trip here to see Corcovado and would recommend staying here.

Hyggelig hotell med flott utsikt
Hyggelig hotell med flott utsikt. Kort vei fra stranden, der man også går i land. Det er ikke vindusglass i hytten, men myggnetting. Ikke regn med å sove lenge om morgenen, fugler og andre gjester sørger for en tidlig oppvåkning. Ettersom spisesteder på stedet stenger tidlig, og uteliv ellers er ikke-eksisterende, gjorde ikke dette oss noe som helst. Stedet anbefales varmt for besøkende med naturopplevelser som mål!

Leider hatten wir Pech mit dem Wetter, es hat fast die ganze Zeit geregnet (Einflüsse von Hrrikan Otto). Der NP Corcovado war geschlossen, weshalb wir eine Tour durch die Mangrosen von Sierpe aus gemacht haben. Dies war sensationell!

Convenient friendly place with amazing view
Perfect place to stay if you are up for an average Costa Rican room standard in this price segment. The room was clean and got cleaned well every day. Large fridge for storing your drinks etc. The view is simply fantastic if you get an ocean view room and we ended up spending more time than usual on the terrace, watchin a variety of birds and also some monkeys that came up close. The breakfast at 3500 CRC is rather disappointing, unfortunately (we have had better for 2000 on the road). Some other prices for additional in-hotel services also seemed rather high (eg. laundry), but if you don't need those, all is good here.

Schöne Anlage, desinteressiertes Personal
Schlechter Service, beim Einchecken keinerlei Informationen, z.B. über Frühstückszeiten, als wir um 8:06 Uhr frühstücken wollten, hieß es, Frühstück gebe es nur von 6-8. Gummiüberzug der Matratze sorgte dafür, dass wir im eigenen Sud schmorten. Wie kommt man auf so eine Idee?
