A great Family stay in OSA
If you are looking for a regular hotel experience then this is not for you, however if you want a true home away from home experience with the local Tico family then you cannot go wrong with this option. Edward the reservations lead is always present and the kitchen is run by his mom and sister. The dad is the wealth of knowledge about local area and the uncle is the gardener. The abundant fruit trees was a pleasant surprise and so was the close proximity of the Macaws.

Awesome
Great service, wonderful staff. Eduardo and his family will bend over backwards to please guests. I can't imagine coming to Drake Bay and staying anywhere else.

Worth the detour
Wonderful, little family run inn in the middle of nowhere. Very friendly family who will spend time with you if you are so inclined. It's far from Drake Bay, 5.5 km and 20+ minutes from the main beach by taxi. They will go out of their way to make sure you have a memorable experience on the Osa peninsula. If you are on foot, be prepared for long, rewarding walks. Try the horseback riding which is a bargain at US$25 p/p for a half day. Stayed in March, 2015.

2/10 Poor

I was not satisfied with the value/price
Not what I expected for the price of the room. There are bugs in the room and on the bed. The breakfast is included, but it's not good. The hotel is away from the center of the village. There is no privacy, you can hear your neighbors whispering. The service provided by the employees is good though, they really try. There is no information about the shared bathroom.

It's 1:30 hours from the beach, NOT in Drake Bay
Great place but extremely far from anything else and more expensive than places closer to the beach and the Drake town. Good beds and nice food, hot showers :)

Nice but VERY remote!
If Drake Bay is in the "middle of nowhere" then Casa Drake is at th "edge of nowhere". Casa Drake is a beautiful family owned and managed guest house. The family that runs it is very friendly, but doesn't speak a word of English, so you'll need someone in your group who can converse at least a little in Spanish. The house itself is very pretty, with simple dark wood decor. The big problem is its remote location - a 25 minute taxi ride from the town of Drake Bay on a very bumpy dirt road and across a thigh deep river that requires a 4x4 SUV or Pickup to ford. Cost each way into town is about $8 US. Also Drake Bay itself is not accessible by car unless you are driving a 4x4 as you will have to ford 5 rivers. We only made it past 4 in our sedan.

Lovely place BUT tips you should know
Drake Bay in Costa Rica is an incredible place, and the people at Casa Drake are really lovely and caring. This to be aware of: - This hotel only accepts cash payments for your board. Having enough USD before you even arrive in Drake Bay is a must. There are no ATMS in the area. - There are 8 guest rooms that all share 4 bathrooms. 2 bathrooms have cold water showers - Meals are $USD15 per person. There is no menu, they are homecooked and shared amongst the guests. There are no other nearby options for food. Make the hotel aware in advance if you have allergies or food preferences. - This is a rural place, its far out of town - 20min taxi ride/$10USD per person. You need to take taxis everywhere, its too far to walk. - They don't really speak English. You need some basic Spanish. GOOD: - They are helpful to arrange tours for you in advance. Take their advice and book through them, it will save you a lot of trouble. - They really do care for you and really go out of their way to help. - Their home cooked food is really lovely. Simple, but lovely. - There are several incredible beaches 15min taxi ride away, and worth the trip. - There is a lovely space with hammocks for chilling out. - The rooms all have lovely balconies and you can see amazing birds just outside your window. - Take their advice, and do the 8 hour tour to Sirena and the Corcovado National Park - it's amazing and worth it.

Best hotel in Costa Rica bar none
Casa Drake is one of the nicest places I've stayed. The family that owns this place is very niceand welcoming. I enjoyed sitting around and talking to them. They offered us home made authentic Tico breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each and every meal I had there was awesome. The grounds are very beautiful with various fruit trees and flowers. The cabin we stayed in was great. It had a huge shower, a porch with hamocks, and beautiful and comfortable beds with mesquito netting. They took us on a private tour to the beach on horseback. It was an adventure of a lifetime. I also want to add the security was great as they had an attack rooster who guarded the Grounds well I felt very safe LOL

Ruhige Unterkunft mit familiärem Ambiente
Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen. Sie liegt zwar etwas entfernt vom Zentrum, ist aber genau das richtige, wenn man ausspannen und sehr gut essen möchte. Es handelt sich um ein Familien geführtes Haus, in welchem Mutter und Tochter kochen. Die Personen sind unheimlich nett und begleiten die Gäste auf Wanderungen (zum Wasserfall oder Strand). Wildlife (Tukane und Aras) kann sogar bei Glück im Garten beobachtet werden. Affen gibt es im nahegelegenen Nebelwald. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

Accueillant mais trop isolé (carte fausse)
Au 1er abord tout semble parfait, une belle maison dans un hameau calme, au milieu de la nature, et nous sommes accueilli merveilleusement. La chambre est spacieuse avec un petit balcon et une salle de bain nous est réservée. Par contre, on se rend assez vite compte que l'hôtel ne se situe pas du tout à l'endroit indiqué sur la carte !!! On est au milieu de rien, a 1h30 de marche de l'océan ou 20 minutes en taxi qu'il faudrait réserver à l'avance et payer 10$ par course!!! Nous qui avions laissé notre 4x4 a Sierpe et pris le bateau pour venir, on s'est senti pris au piège. Dommage que la carte soit fausse, sans quoi le séjour dans cette famille aurait été parfait!
