Staying at Jinetes de Osa was an experience to remember. Walking to it from the Taxi dropoff was intersting...they do carry your bags thank goodness. You have to ford a small river and then you come to stone steps that rise into the jungle quickly bringing you to a lovely open air pavilion and bar. The greeting is excellent. The... More

Stayed two nights; food was excellent; rooms were clean; good location; nice bar and hot showers! It was the start of tourist season so not too many people. Staff went out of their way to find enough people at other hotels to go scuba diving & hiking. Also, made sure boats were on time for my departure. This hotel is... More

My friend and I had a fantastic time at Jinestes de Osa and it ended up being one of our favourite places ever! From the time we arrived to when we left, we were made to feel really welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We were late by a day because of a plane delay and they were lovely... More

I stayed here over the week of Christmas and had one of the best holidays ever. I love that Drake Bay is so remote and isolated... that you can hike for several hours and barely see anyone (and have a beach all to yourself). Plus, the unspoiled jungle & wildlife is pretty incredible. I've visited Drake Bay on four different... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Jinetes de Osa and had a wonderful time. Although, there are hotels which are posher, I would not wanted to stay at any of them. The reason why most people travel to this remote area is to discover the nature of Corcovado National Park and dive or snorkel the National Park of Caño Island.... More

The Swiss owners didn't care a lot about my stay, with the pickup they leave you helpless on your own to wade your way through a river carrying your heavy bag while you try to keep up with a lokal to show the way. You arrive in a dodgy wooden stile windy shed like adventure I wish was just a... More

An excellent, unpretentious and affordable hotel in Drake Bay with good dive centre and other. Lovely views across the bays from the rooms and wildlife all around. Good swimming beach 15 minutes walk away (you probably won't want to swim right in front of the hotel - water is a little murky from the river inflow and there are small... More

Because of a fluke, we were able to experience both Jinetes de Osa and Aguila de Osa during our stay at Drakes Bay. There are plusses and minuses to both. Rooms at Aguila are more spacious, more amenities and the view from the balcony lovelier than Jinetes. Jinetes had simple, basic but clean rooms. We didn’t eat at Aguila, but... More

My husband and I had never been to Costa Rica and decided on Drake Bay so that we could see lots of wildlife and go diving. We stayed at the Jinetes de Osa Hotel and it was seriously wonderful. The staff is so incredibly friendly, they make you feel you have always been there. The rooms are small and simple... More

This hotel is located right on the Bay and has about 10 rooms with ceiling fans, private large bathrooms and bay views . Good meals are included and served in an outdoor dining "family style" area where you can visit with the other guests from around the world. It was great fun to gather at meals and share tips about... More
