Hotel holiday rentals in Puerto Jiménez

Words will never do this place justice. Both the lodge itself and the surroundings are stunningly beautiful. The pictures give a slight impression, but the place must be experienced to really understand the beauty of this place. The cabins are placed up on a hill with an amazing view over the jungle and the ocean. Macaws are flying over you all day. Coatis, tapirs, agutis and monkeys cross the grounds and nature trails are plentiful. We did a trek into Corcovado through la Leona gateway which was well worth it. Way less crowded than la Sirena and the scenery is incredible. I also took some yoga classes while I was there. The yoga itself was great and the cherry on the top was 8 macaws settling into a tree right in front of the yoga platform during class. We were also really pampered with delicious food and smoothies. We got there by cab which took something like 1 h 45 m each way. On the way there the driver spotted loads of animals for us. I’m so grateful for the whole experience.

Great place to stay in Drake Bay! Super peaceful - perfect if you want to relax and enjoy the nature around. The cabin is surrounded by trees, and we spotted toucans, iguanas, even some macaws right from the terrace, which was amazing. The host is really kind and takes great care of the guests. You’ve got everything you need here. There's even a washing machine and a spin dryer, which is super useful in this humid part of Costa Rica. If you're coming to Drake, this place is a great choice.

If you’re looking for a version of Costa Rican river living this is it. Affordable with an extremely attentive owner and staff. We especially enjoyed our kayaking and hiking trips. Thank you, Carlos!

We used Vistadrakelodge to stay in Drake Bay on our way to and from an overnight trip to Corcovado Preserve. We stayed a relaxed extra day after, swinging in the hammocks on the deck overlooking the sea. It had lovely views of the sea, birds and monkeys in its gardens and trees. And much enjoyed air conditioning! Emilio was great, met us at the boat from Sierpe to take us up the short hill from the beach, even though it would have been an easy 5 minute walk. He offered to take us to his farm to walk in nature but we were too tired to take the offer. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. He can also help arrange local boat tours and arranged our return trip back to Sierpe. Easy walk to several restaurants in town and the beach.

Loved our stay at Hennar place! She was super friendly and always available to answer our questions. So was Pascal for that matter! We were grateful to get insider tips from him. Our cabana was perfect! Better than what I had expected. Big, large windows, cleaned everyday, close to everything. Loved the view of the ocean-we even saw monkeys right in front a few times. We stayed 5 nights total which was good amount of time to explore Drake bay. We did 2 guided activities: Jungle tour and snorkelling tour And 2 days exploring on our own. Our favorite was definitely exploring on our own. We simply adored walking up the river to the waterfall:) Wow! And also enjoyed the walk to playa Caletas. Drake bay is really a magical place and Hennar’s cabana is convientely located to allow you to discover it!

Hotel Margarita is located about a 5 minute walk up a hill from the main beach in Drake Bay. It was a great value for a stay in Drake Bay if you are looking for a modern clean hotel with good amenities -- it has a pool, A/C, and a great restaurant. All meals and drinks were really good -- I'd say the best in Drake Bay -- and they were very accommodating to serve early morning breakfast for those who had booked early tours. During check-in Mauricio was able to book two tours for us -- Cano Island and the 1-day hike to Sirena Station in Corcovado Park -- and coordinate to have us picked up by the tour company, which was very convenient and saved us reaching out to them directly. Overall I recommend Hotel Margarita for your Drake Bay stay, I think it would be especially good for travelers with kids given the pool, A/C, and convenient restaurant.

It's so much simpler and more pleasant to have a person who speaks French and takes care of everything (boat booking, outings...). Always available and accommodating, the best👍.

Beautiful place to stay and enjoy a nature discovery vacation Completely immersed in the jungle near the services but in the heart of the wilderness, exceptional fauna and flora We were greeted by a wonderful family, we learned so much with them! What about the food, fresh, organic In abundance and so good, you felt at home! Let's go back without hesitation!!!

We were allowed to stay at this property for 3 nights and were very satisfied. It is very nicely decorated and smells very good in every room. We also used the small courtyard with pool several times to cool off. The employee is very friendly and helpful. My partner and I can recommend the place.

We came to Sabalo Lodge through a recommendation of a friend, and we enjoyed our stay. We arrived in the pouring rain but thankfully Philippe was there to pick us up and make the whole transfer and check-in process smooth. The tents are basic but very comfortable, though the wildlife surrounding the tents and the lodge is just astounding. Every morning we woke up to monkeys in the trees next to us, tons of birds, and the obligatory friendly lodge dog (plus neighbourhood dogs :)). The price included breakfast, which was lovely and freshly prepared, and overall the staff was very friendly. We did some fun walking in the jungle and went to the nearby waterfalls, as well as heading out to Cano Island for snorkelling. They will assist with all the bookings. Another amazing surprise was dinner at "la Colombiana" next door, who cooked the most delicious meal for us in the evening. The lodge is off the beaten track, and unlike Drake's Bay there is no entertainment nearby, so be prepared for early nights.

The perfect place to relax and enjoy the Costa Rican sun, the Golf, and the nature surrounding Puerto Jimenez and Matapalo. We really enjoyed the free kayaks to enjoy a sunrise and sunset on the water, get accompanied by dolphins and experience bioluminescens. We did not have time to enjoy the free bikes. Everything is on point and the service is lovely.

Great stay in this idyllic accommodation. The apartment is clean, well located and very nice. Great welcome in the apartment and communication with Inka was really easy.

I had a really nice stay, they are flexible with check in and check out and will respond quickly when needed. The space is very clean, the room was comfortable with the air conditioning unit. The addition of a small fridge would be nice but not totally necessary. The host offers tours as well and is knowledgeable about the area.

Great option in Drake Bay. The rooms are very spacious, with large beds and a super comfortable bathroom. They also have a refrigerator, which is a great plus. The location is ideal - just 200 meters from the sea and steps from all the restaurants and markets in the area. Also, the hotel has a perfect pool to cool off and a space with hanging lounge chairs where you can rest and enjoy the surroundings. Although breakfast is not included, it can be booked at the hotel bar. It's plentiful, accessible, and really delicious. Highly recommended for a comfortable, relaxed and well located stay. Ideal for families looking for tranquility and comfort near everything.

Super nice hotel, very comfortable, clean and with lots to do.

Mike and his sister were so wonderful! They gave great local recommendations. Everything went smooth and they were so welcoming. This was also the most affordable restaurant and lodging in the area. The pizza and burgers were delicious and it had more of the local vibe that we were looking for. We would stay here again!! ¡Muchas Gracias!

The cabin is in a small and laidback resort. There is a yoga shala, and the staff can help with booking tours and more. The location is very remote (twenty minute walk on the beach), so it's adviced to pack light. It's also a beautiful place, with a big private beach but also in the jungle. We observed all kinds of animals, including macaws and monkeys. There are no nearby restaurants, but there are meals in the resort at extra cost. All in all a great place, and we would have loved to stay longer if we could.

Henar is an excellent host! The room is really clean and the bed is comfortable . Thank you !

Katya was very welcoming, and so was her adult son. They have a well trained house guard dog that was introduced to me and treated me immediately like one of the family. Great dog. I felt very safe on the property. AC in the bedroom worked perfectly. My shower was hot enough and strong. The TV in my room didnt work, which they apologised for. The exterior areas were spotless and Katya set up a comfortable table near the pool for me to work on my laptop. There is also an area to sit and chat with other visitors, or eat at a table and there is the small dipping pool, which I didn't try but I'm sure in the dry season I would have been in there every day to cool off. I will stay here again for sure. I felt very well taken care of in a friendly, clean, secure place.

Ronald and Marilyn represent all the reasons why we love travel and Airbnb! We had just visited the major parks in Costa Rica and thought that La Gamba would be a nice respite between Manuel Antonio and the Panamanian border. We didn't know that this would be a highlight of our adventure! The breakfast was amazing and we were visited by a plethora of exotic jungle creatures! The hike in the park was absolutely beautiful and unlike the big parks, free! The hosts, and their beautiful grandchildren, are really what made the stay epic, however! We sang, and danced, and laughed, and celebrated life! After Ronald drove us to our bus stop, we thanked him profusely. Little did we know that he was watching over us to ensure safe passenge. As our bus arrived, he came up and wished us well! Their kindness and consideration is most amazing! All the Very Best!

Lagunavista Lodge is a fascinating place with the private deck for our bungalow overlooking the natural lagoon. From there we could see crocodiles surface and then disappear - ominously...But in actuality our favorite parts of our stay were our guided trips led by Freddie kayaking on the lagoon while birding, and fishing, and searching for crocodiles after dark! Greg and Keiko are friendly and helpful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinners spent with them and the other guests. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time at this accommodation. The place has wonderful view. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay!

Quiet place, clean, friendly hosts. Recommended.
