Great location, rooms were clean but small and old fashioned. Electric shower head with loose wires. Price compared to rest of Costa Rica overpriced. Location was great however, close to the beach and start of tours to Corcovado. We paid around 100 euros a night for a standard room. You have to take some stairs for some rooms up hill so keep that in mind.

Parece q ni la escoba usaron en la habitación

Drake bay is a small village like area where most people visit to enjoy yours to Corcovado national park or other activities. There are some super upscale hotels too but I was not there to pamper myself. This hotel offers everything you need for your stay, staff are friends. Breakfast was included as part our stay. Rooms were clean and maintained nicely but nothing fancy. There are no elevators and only steps so be ready for a work out, but tHe view from your your is the your reward. It was breathtaking. The macaw bird was eating fruits from our hotels tree. We just sat in the restaurant area and they were there.

Amazing experience Beautiful property Friendly staff Clean rooms

Our view from the shared balcony was spectacular! The ocean, harbor, and birds..

Save your money and book somewhere else. Rancho Corcovado is not worth the price tag. During our stay there was no electricity which meant no hot water and no air conditioning. There was no attempt by management to apologize or correct this, and I paid extra for a room with ac. The rooms themselves are basic. No shampoo. No amenities. Our bed was uncomfortable and had ripped sheets. The shower head had exposed wires. The hotel itself is under construction which means it is loud during the day. At night dogs bark incessantly. There are plenty of nicer places in drake bay to stay for less money. I would strongly suggest one of those. I felt scammed at this place.

Great hotel and area but apparently it is a pickup and drop off place for many tours so it’s often very loud starting at 6am and in the afternoon.

perfect family owned hotel on the beach. clean, spacious, modern rooms ("deluxe" type) with a/c, hot water, ocean front balconies, not many toiletries, bring your own, bring your own hair dryer. food was ok: they serve you breakfast and dinner. you don't have a choice, town is very small and people eat at their hotels. lunch is not great: I went to 2 excursions: they serve you same lunch on the way back in San Josecito beach, which is stunning, but both days I was served same basic lunch and there s no place to sit down : very few picnic tables on the beach. very uncomfortable when I was asked to stand up from my seat to give it to next tour group. otherwise, surroundings are stunning, owner/staff is so very helpful, and tour guides were great. (except night tour with "Elbert" : was not told there were tons and tons of unsecured stairs, better said: bricks that serve as stairs, they need to disclose this. I have a knee injury and need to be careful with that many stairs. Tour guide was not helpful either: we were only 4, but did not offer any help or care when I was left behind. I fell into a mud area and laughed, not with me but at me. I know the difference. on the way back, he wanted to drop me off one block away from hotel: at night it is super dark and has steep decline. I felt he was a poor quality guide. don't take his tour please! ask for another guide.). Finally, I would suggest to include local food specialties, not western food.

We found the steps up to our room a bit too much, but we are over 70. But a great location for jungle and water sports and walks.

The Rancho Corcovado Lodge..like all Drake Bay hotels is off the beaten path and more easily reached by water taxi than by land. Roger, the host is hardworking and accomodating. The included breakfast was very good and complete daily dinners are available for a reasonable price. Our room was clean, spacious and included a/c that worked well. Make sure you ask for a/c if you want it. The beach is fantastic and our Divine Dolphin tour pucked us up out front.. Great Costa Rica experience.

Enjoyed our three nights there. Made to feel welcome. Organised tours for us.

A rainy day did not spoil our 2 night stay even though the weather cancelled our scheduled hike. Instead enjoyed the beautifully landscaped grounds, pool and nice restaurant. Be sure to walk down the hill to the river and be surprised by both Howler and White faced monkeys. The staff were very attentive and kind. We would return again.

Roger the manager on site was nice and fairly helpful, but stretched too far. He seemed to be the only English speaking staff member and was in charge of everything. Lines often formed at his office. Corcovado excursion was great with a fantastic guide Carlos. Our room was at the top of dozens of stairs so it had a great view once we cooled off from the very hot and humid December weather. AC would have been worth the money if available at time of booking. It was considerably hotter than previous trip in September. Overall nice stay but uncomfortable warm and humid for us North Americans.

Nice place. The cabins were pretty basic, and some of them (the non A/C) are up hill. There's an option for full lodge (including lunch and dinner) which can be useful since Drake is such a small town. Make sure you figure out how to arrive to the location (the hotel can coordinate a pick-up boat in Sierpe)

Our family of five had a wonderful experience at the Rancho Corcovado lodge! Our children are ages 7,8,and 10. We found the entire property to be well suited for families with small children. Rancho Corcovado has an amazing history and is entirely family owned and operated.The lodge seems to be one of the few hotels in Drake that has direct access to bay with a very safe beach for the children. My husband and I were able to enjoy a glass of wine every evening in front of the lodge while the children played on the beach and in the water, or enjoyed one of the many hammocks available.The rooms are sparse but well maintained and VERY clean. We had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The landscaping of the grounds allowed us to be completely emersed in nature when we weren't taking tours. We enjoyed the large variety of birds, lizarards, butterflies, bats, and insects that surrounded the property.The meals provided were amazing, home made, authentically Costa Rican, and child friendly. The service exceded our expectations, especially when it came to the needs of a family with young children.I can not reccomend highly enough.

78 steps up to the room...don't forget anything or lock yourself out. Very convenient to town, nice hike uphill to town though...I think I lost weight. Wish they had a bar or casual food. Breakfast rice and beans always was a bit crunchy...like left over from last night. Location AWESOME!!

The staff at Rancho Corcovado made the stay an enjoyable one. The food was amazing and the fact that food is included in the price makes it affordable. The views to the beach was amazing

Rancho Corcovado is set in a stunningly beautiful environment in Drakes Bay. The manager, Roger, and all of his staff are exceptionally warm, helpful and accomodating. The rooms are spartan but clean. Recommended!
