Aircon - it was very hot. Wildlife - iguanas, birds and basilisks came to visit. Proximity to the beach (the north beach is much the better of the two). Restaurants and supermarkets nearby.

The setting of the property is absolutely gorgeous in the beautiful jungle, with many opportunities to see wildlife right there. Erickson and his family go above and beyond with making the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I was taken on an afternoon walk on my first afternoon to get to know the birds and wildlife. I went without a car and Erickson constantly helped me with taxi transfers, which they run from a separate family business. Maria, the mother, cooked delicious meals from scratch every evening (for the full duration of my 5 night stay) and it was the best meals I had in CR. All my tours were also arranged for me, which were all fantastic. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We loved everything. From the moment we were picked up by Steven, and driven to this beautiful hideaway, we didn't stop smiling.
We came to Greenleaf at the end of a 2 1/2 week adventure around the North and west of Costa Rica, and we'd already been in Drake Bay for a few days first, but wanted to finish our trip with a bit of luxury and relaxation with amazing views, and this exactly is what Greenleaf provided.
Helen, and Steven, welcomed us with open arms into their wonderful setting. We were treated to delicious juices, fresh fruits, amazing food (which catered brilliantly for my vegan ways), bird watching, coaty spotting and introductions to the whole monkey family who live in the jungle behind the bungalows. Helen was so helpful before we even arrived, booking our snorkeling trip for us, as well as arranging our flight back to San Jose from Drake Bay. Steven was so kind, offering to drive us any where we needed, getting us to and from the snorkeling pick up, as well as dropping us off at the airport. They both make such a dream team, you can really understand why people come back year after year.
At the end of a wonderful trip we couldn't have chosen a better place to soak up all our adventures and add this magical experience as a wonderful cherry on top.
If you are thinking of going to Drake bay, make sure you stay here, or at least get in touch with them for all their amazing local knowledge and passion.
Thank you for making us feel part of the family.

Great place to stay if you want to visit Corcovado national park. Not only Corcovado is worthwhile but Drake Bay itself as well. I would recommend taking the boat from Sierpe to Drake Bay as it’s very convenient and the boat ride is extremely scenic!

Very nice peaceful place, at the grounds of a friendly costarican family, right on the edge of the rainforest. Beautiful Ganadito beach is at walking distance. The cabin where we slept was new and fine.

The flora and fauna of adjacent parks is amazing but you must visit them with a guide for the appropriate access and to really appreciate what is there. Drake is a the ideal place from which to reach the parks. We travelled to Drake Bay by intercity bus from San Jose and connected with the ferry. The "wet landing" was a first for us - a genuine adventure where the ferry assistants wade your luggage to shore on their shoulders and the passengers just focus on getting themselves to shore. The ferry takes an hour or so through amazing mangroves. Make sure to tell your hotel to book you on the ferry to avoid misunderstanding -- there are only two ferries per day and you don't want to lose a day/night in Sierpe.
The park is amazing --book a tour well in advance as daily entries are limited. Access to the park is by boat. Birds galore, several species of monkey including the mighty howler, tapirs, two species of ant eater, and many more creatures. We did the snorkeling tour too which was also amazing. We saw deep sea turtles, sharks, manta rays and a plethora of species of fish. Beautiful, pristine and rules about not interrupting wildlife. For example, we were watching a turtle and she started to rise for air and we all had to move back 4-6 metres and we had the joy of then watching her float on the surface for a while and just rock in the waves. Being herself and breathing without feeling anxious

The town, while not a secret by any means, has still avoided the trappings of rampant tourisim. There is a local vibe that is genuine and refreshing.. I like that the town is still a bit rough on the edges.
The abundance of world class outdoor experiences is the icing on the cake.

It is a very peaceful place, we definitely recommend it. Beautiful walking trail to san josecito, magnificent view, good restaurants (kalaluna & coco cafe), a lot of activities. You have access to the Corcovado NP, waters are calmer than most beaches in costa rica (good for swimming). Snorkeling tour to cano was great!

It is a very remote, relaxed place.
It is a very remote, relaxed place. Great to experience the simple life. There is a beautiful hiking trail along the coast line to more secluded beaches. Many activities to be done from the beach, including day trips to Corcovado national park, night tours, snorkelling trips.
The beach itself is not amazingly beautiful- it’s not pristine white sand and clear waters- it has a very rustic feeling and there are no beach bars. But there are places to eat just up from the beach or grab a drink from the supermarket. We saw a lot of wildlife! Scarlet macaws are flying around. There’s a nice restaurant called Lookout restaurant with good food and a great view over the bay.
Nice place to stay with rooms with airconditioning, a short walk from the beach and restaurants. The owner Javier is friendly and was able to help us with booking our tours.
He was also our tour guide in Corcovado NP on our overnight trip there. This was the highlight of our visit to Costa Rica. Javier is very knowledgeable and we saw tapirs, sloaths, anteater and many other animals.
Our drive to Drake Bay was hard without a 4x4. Would not recommend. With 4x4 doable.
Jonathan and Edith and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel like guests in their home. The food was good and the surroundings were lush and beautiful. It was a short walk down to the beach, which was almost always deserted. Their pets are friendly and well cared for. The whole visit to Bahia Drake was a real adventure. Expect to get your feet wet when you disembark the water taxi from Sierpe but that's just the beginning of the fun!
I love the location away from the busy areas in Drake Bay but at a popular beach that people hike hours or take a boat to get to, the purpose behind the hotel (turtle project), the food is really good, the value is great. Recardo is a very nice man and everyone working there is friendly and helpful. Cheap tours available of the Rio Claro. You get to experience being immersed in the jungle and at night can hear the jungle and waves crash on the beach.
Beautiful setting in trees with nice tropical landscaping that draws in birds of many kinds! From our patio we saw toucan’s, hummingbirds, scarlet rumped tanagers and monkeys! The Drakes Bay trail is easily accessible and it’s a one hour hike to Drake’s Bay and 45 min to beautiful Rio Claro for a fresh water swim! Christian our host helped us with whatever we needed. He is a wonderful resourceful man. He and his wife Virginia are so kind.
We were coming to Drake bay by boat and we were worried before booking how from the boat we will get to our room, how far it will be.., but experience was a piece of cake.
A kind guy(probably owner) came with his ATV, took our bags, and we had to walk a few hundred meters, and that's it.
Also, when booking a room with him, he can help you to book tours in corcovado, like diving, snorkeling or hike tours
The location is top! If you wonder if you'll get a good view, don't worry, every bumgalow has its own unique viewpoint soot towards the sea.
The food is delicious, both in the hotel and in the restaurant (and once again great views).
I really recommend this place, the people take great care of you and the rooms are so amazing you can sit on your balcony and observe all types of birds (including toucans).
Drake Bay was our favorite place in all CR! Hotel was great, too - helpful and kind staff, transfer from the ferry to the hotel and back, comfy bed, big and comfortable furnished balcony from where we can enjoy birds and bright nature colours! close proximity to nice bars and restaurants as well as costal hiking trail.
we have as well taken Corcovado tour from the hotel and were very satisfied
The place is overlooking Drake Bay and surrounded by lush flora, stunningly situated. The hosts were super friendly, very helpful and two beautiful human beings.
I was greeted with fresh fruits and homemade lemonade, and within minutes you feel right at home. A beautiful stay throughout and I'd highly recommend it for anyone coming to Drake Bay before or after their Corcovado tour.
It's hard to describe the beauty of the Osa and the Aguila de Osa is in an ideal location to experience it. Falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle is so amazing. The Drake Bay public trail is right there and it offers 3 hours of some of the most beautiful trails that we have ever walked. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful too.
The location was great with a panoramic view of Drake Bay and above the road noise. The room was spacious and clean. While there was a coffee maker and fridge in the room, so we could have breakfast before early morning excursions. Day manager and owner were very friendly and helpful. We stayed 4 days/nights and really have no complaints.
Quiet villa in beautiful and secluded property. Wildlife such as toucans and scarlet macaws are seen every day in the area and the hotel staff are very attentive and friendly. The hotel offers optional dinner which was excellent and different every evening and better and more varied than what was offered in other restaurants in the area.
The property is at the best location of Bahia Drake, finally a real beach house. The kitchen, toilet, shower etc.. are simple but they blend in the jungle giving a pure sense of freedom and wilderness, sound of the waves and beach sight accompanying you through all your stay.
having pool was wonderful, close to town, staff friendly and helpful to get great tour assist. We watched a monkey in the tree with Our binoculars every eve. you really do have to take a tour or hike to get to beach from Drake Bay.
Hotel in the middle of the jungle very nice located. Breakfast was great! Be aware of the monkeys while you eat. :-) But it´s quite funny and cute. Rooms clean and quite big and with good beds and mattresses. Very friendly staff.
Great stay at Drake Bay, staff really go out the way to help you; we were picked up by car from the boat and dropped off on the last day, all excursions and boats were booked for us by the hotel. Very nice breakfast!
We had the top most room (#5) which had a beautiful view and a jacuzzi, which we didn’t end up using. Very friendly and helpful folks at the hotel too and the attached restaurant across the road, ie Casa El Tortuga.
Its what you would expect, a little retreat 10min outside of Drake Bay. Room is small but has everything, shower is big and AC powerful. Nice little garden with birds, and also a restaurant. Short walk to the beach.
This hotel had beautiful, updated rooms with excellent air conditioning and comfortable beds. The pool was clean and beautiful. Breakfast was terrific.
