Top Hotels Near Playa San Pedrillo in Drake Bay from NZ$39

"The driveway to the property was treacherous - I wish they had made us more aware of how challenging it was to drive up it even in a 4x4 and had other options clearly spelled out in the emails of if there was another place to park and walk up just for safety reasons. We almost didn’t make it and had tires spinning and it was a very scary and rough start to our Drakes Bay stay. Plus it is a long drive on tough roads to Drakes Bay and then to have the last 100 meters be one of the toughest parts was unfortunate. We stayed in the house and heads up the bathroom is downstairs from the sleeping rooms and outside in the patio area so it was a little nerve wracking to walk down there at night."

"Property was located very close to Corcavado National Park, with tours to the Park starting within walking distance. Lots of wildlife in the area."

"This is a beautiful place to stay, it is indeed work out with lots of stairs and heels, but the views are like no other. And it’s not a far walk to the beach so all of the past are worth it to explore."

"This house was exactly what I wanted for my stay with my children in Costa Rica. Surrounded by the rainforest, short walk down to the beach. We saw many bird species from the balconies, watched capuchins and spider monkeys in the trees, enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks while blue morphos flew by. We also saw a coati, an agouti, and many scarlet Macaws. It was truly magical. If you want to get away from the touristy areas and be immersed in nature this area is perfect. Pablo and Lucia were excellent hosts- helped with airport transport and had great tips. Loved it!!!"

"Lovely staff, great food, as others have said it's very rustic which depends on your point of view how you take that. I loved it however, both ATV transfers we asked for didn't materialise which, esp for the route back, was mildly annoying. Being in the room whilst it was raining cats and dogs during the night was incredible"

"What a stunning spot! Absolutely beautiful property with beautifully furnished rooms. We extended our stay because how nice this place was!"

"We love love LOVED our stay here!!! Just thinking about our time here makes me want to be back in Costa Rica!! I thought it might not be our kind of place - and I also didn't realise the Corcovado day trip boats could pick you up from there - but I chose to spend a couple of nights there so that we'd be half-way along the Drake Bay Trail. But it actually turned out to be one of our favourite stays in Costa rica (and we traveled the country for a month!). Firstly, it was right on a beautiful beach great for swimming, handily positioned on the free trail so you could more easily walk both ways, and the accommodation was super clean with excellent aircon. But the hosts are what make me almost cry wanting to be back - such a lovely lovely family! When we got there we weren't sure where we were and a teenage boy came across us. I think we were a bit early and he said they were just cleaning the room (honestly the whole place was beautifully spotless!) and then proudly showed us his church and his school (1 teacher, 4 students), both right on the beach (the cabins are right off the beach behind them). That night there was a opossum and the family called us to see - and then bought us some large turtles to show us from the creek! The next night when we had a knock on the door we were very excited and rightly so - Christian wanted to know if we wanted to go for a walk & see scorpions etc! Soo cool! We also had wonderful (complimentary) breakfasts and gorgeous dinners! Take me back! "

"We were prepared for no hot water, no AC, no cell service, but we were not prepared for the overall shady communication, vibes and charges. We booked this hotel to be close to Corcovado, and booked a tour with the hotel. When we asked for details, they said they said that the communication from Expedia was poor, and they only booked our snorkeling tour. We asked to cancel the snorkeling because the national park was our priority. She said they couldn't because they already bought the tickets. Turns out, it was their family member that lived on property that ran the tour. This made her so upset that she went out of her way to make us uncomfortable the entire stay. Very immature. She was the daughter of the owner. They also tried to charge us for the stay, even though we paid Expedia 3 weeks before. I had to pull up my receipt and credit card transaction to prove we already paid. She still wanted us to pay, but eventually said "Expedia always holds back the payment for a month". So they were just hoping we forgot? Also, two men walked onto our private porch and stole my husband's sunglasses. He was afraid to say something to them, but we saw them later and they looked affiliated with the hotel. They saw the boat off when we left. Would not recommend. Breakfast was also poor, but the other meals were pretty good. Restaurant staff were super nice."
