Felix and Monica are both amazing! We love the atmosphere, the cooking, the cabins...it was all wonderful...just what you'd hope Costra Rica would be like. We wore out Felix (and ourselves) during our 2 day excursion into Corcovado, but he was a patient, knowledable, trooper. Brigette and Bruce

honest people, Beautiful location, with sea in front of our room. Clean room. And ara 's around us. Honest people. Our camera was lost (forgotten). They contact our touroperator and we have our camera back. Monica a very good cook. Only the whale watching was disappointing. Beautiful place to stay and go to Corcovado.

My husband and I spent five nights here during the end of March and it was amazing! Felix and Monica were both awesome and very accommodating. The view is absolutely beautiful and from our room we could see the entire bay as well as the many scarlet macaws that frequented the trees in front. The cabins were spacious and also... More

We spent 3 nights the end of January 2012 at Los Cotingas and loved it. It is a hike up the steps, but they are easy if you pace yourself, and the view makes it all worthwhile. As soon as we arrived, Monica brought us a pitcher of cold fresh fruit juice that was delicous. We relaxed in the hammocks,... More

We just got home from our Costa Rica trip (family trip, 2 kids ages 10 and 13) and Las Cotingas was our favorite. We loved the property, the hammocks, the hosts AND the food was the best we had in Costa Rica. Also the value was very good. You do have to be ready to do a lot of walking... More

My friend and I stayed here the end of Nov 2011, and we are so homesick for this beautiful place, I wish we could live there forever! The cabin we stayed in was so clean you could eat off the floor,as was every other part of the whole place. You really could never, ever, get a more perfect view from... More

We loved staying at Las Cotingas! The views of the bay are lovely! It was a treat to relax in our hammock, drink coffee and watch all sorts of birds. Monica cooked up a storm and always had delicious and fresh foods. We stopped eating in town and took all our meals at Las Cotingas. Felix is a very knowledgeable... More

We stayed in Ranchitos Las Cotingas 3 nights in October 2011 and couldn't have been any happier with it. The location is outstanding, with a centered, elevated view of the picturesque Drake Bay, yet is a very short walk from the water taxi landing and grocery store. The food and staff were both excellent - Felix, the owner, was extremely... More
