We stayed here 3 nights. We had a private room with shared bathroom and it was basic but clean.

We had booked our diving trip and Corcovado overnight with a different agency, but I wish we had book it with Cabinas Manolo. Similar price and you don't have to worry about anything. If you book the tour with them, they will explain you the previous day what you need for the trip, in the morning they will prepare you a very nice breakfast and they will pick you up in van to go the beach to get the boat. If you book the activities with a different agency... no explanation, you will have no breakfast and you will have to walk to beach (5-10min). However, they were very nice and they prepared breakfast for us, although we had to walk to the beach.

The food was great, every day something different and always fresh.

I do recommend this place.

This very affordable option in Drake Bay was perfect for our stay. We had a private room with private bath. It was spacious and clean, and also had a private veranda. The owners and the staff were exceptionally helpful in the booking of scuba diving, an overnight trip to Corcovado National Park, kayaking, and hikes. While the hotel does not have a view of the ocean, it is located in the town so that we were able to walk to other restaurants, the beach (where we boarded the boats for all of our trips), and the supermarket. The food was also excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to travel on a budget.

These folks are so nice and accommodating. We stayed here the night before and after an overnight to Corcovado. The rooms were very basic but did the trick. They arranged the trip to the park, took the details into consideration (I don't eat meat or sea food) and were always so friendly. The guide was awesome. Enjoy!

A family hotel in Drake Bay. They planned our pick up at the beach and also a tour at Corcovado. Good service at a good price. The restaurant looks and it is clean and the food is good for a reasonable price. They actually smile while serving you and you can feel the good vibes here. Recommended 100%.

Room tip: If you get the chance, rent the room which is under their “house”. A little far from the reception but you get a real nice quiet place, which is also closer to the town/beach (50mts closer).

This was without a doubt our best experience In Costa Rica. A basic but clean and spacious room. Good food, they really try to give you something special. But the best thing was the staff. All of them were really friendly and helpful. None of that fake American friendliness. But real people making us feel totally welcome. Go there!
