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.

The location was convenient to the beach and all the stores. Price is very reasonable. Staff was incredibly helpful and housekeeping is amazing and such a hard worker. Able to change my room and keep my items when I went on an overnight Corcovado trip. Hot water and air conditioning with wonderful views to the ocean if you got the upper bungalows. It's probably the best place I have stayed in drake Bay since I have been coming there since the year 2000

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.

Located in Drake, Corcovado Guest House features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service.

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.

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.
