When I decided to go to,drake,bay, I was told by this swiss couple of one hostel. I wont say the name as everyone´s experience is different. I was unhappy and the room gave me the creeps. At the ecouragement of kevin the supermercado's employee, I moved to las continguas. What a difference!!! night and day. Las continguas is like a... More

I showed up in Drake Bay without a hotel reservation- flying by the seat of my pants. Based on a recommendation, I decided to check out Las Contingas, a place located way up on a hillside overlooking Drake Bay. What a great find! At first I was worried about not having Air Conditioning, but the evening and morning breezes kept... More

We spent 6 nights at Ranchitos Las Cotingas and I'm so glad that we did. The rooms are simple and give you all that you need - clean, comfy bed, fan and refridgerator. Our room (Jacobin) had a wonderful balcony with views across the bay. We saw amazing wildlife from here - scarlet macaws, iguana, boa constrictor - all within... More

Clean, good sheets, plenty of food served, plus a refrigerator with drinks that you can access in the outdoor dining room. Great views surrounded us near and far. Let Felix arrange your excursions he knows what's going on:) He had his employee Flor walk us to the dive shop to fit our gear. Our second story room, the Guacamaya, had... More

Me and my gf, had the best time... Pros: - the balcony of the room, with the sight over the bay was lovely - the ownercouple is really nice - you can tell them if you want to eat there or not, day by day

This is what staying at a B&B should be like. Felix and his wife, Monica, were very gracious hosts. Her cooking was absolutely the best food we had while in Costa Rica. Felix helped us arrange for various trips and tours that we wanted to take while staying there and I did a little bit of looking around and found... More

We stayed one night at Ranchitos Las Cotingas. The Cabins are nice, clean but basic. The hosts Felix and Monica are really super nice and sweet! They also cook for you - breakfast, dinner... which is nice. The view from the patio is nice. One need to know, that this is simple but nice place! We can recommend it.

Drake bay was our favorite spot in Costa Rica. We were somewhat surprised when arriving by boat, we had to wade through the surf to go ashore. That turned out to be part of the charm. Las Cotingas is just up the hill from the beach and less than 2 blocks from the little town, which consists of 2 general... More
