There are many options for a luxury stay at Bahia Drake, which this is not a luxury place. It is clean, safe, and pool is great at end of hot day. It is excellent at a reasonable price point. It is not luxury but that’s not why we were here.

Close to restaurants and has a good pool area. The wildlife just outside the window in the morning made this a memorable stay for sure!

There was some confusion at check-in which made it a long process after 36 hours of flying. The first night we were exhausted but woken up by loud motorcycles circling at 2:30am. Otherwise everything was great. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. Bed was comfortable and room was nice. Pool was a nice benefit. The filtered water was nice to have.

leuk hotel bij fantastisch corcovado NP

Prima hotel, leuk kleurrijk ingericht met zwembad. Grote familie kamer met 5 grote bedden, lekkere douche en Airco. Drakebay is leuk plaatsje, restaurants op loopafstand. De omgeving NP, stranden, cano island zijn prachtig Er moet wel langzaam wat onderhoud aan het gebouw gebeuren.

This hotel is a gem in this remote little town adjacent to Corcovado National Park. It has a lovely pool plus a large terrace and decks where you can watch colorful birds in the surrounding trees. The hotel restaurant is very good and the staff were extremely helpful in setting up tours for us and helping us with other recommendations. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot to base in Drake Bay. Casual and well maintained. Shower was great! And from the pool you can see so many birds, it's almost like a little wildlife tour.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix pour la chambre, propre avec frigo et congélateur. Accueil super, on est venu nous chercher à la plage et reconduire après nos 5 jours. Le personnel de l'office est très serviable. La piscine est un plus et la cuisine est un peu chère mais bien bonne. La plage est à 10 minutes de marche.

We were met from Drake Bay upon arrival and took us up the road to our hotel. The kitchen was very accommodating for breakfast and made us early breakfasts several days. The pool was beautiful and the room was air conditioned. Very nice. We also had a great view from the balcony of the trees and mountains and toucans on a nearby tree one night.

Great stay at Hotel Margarita. From getting picked up from the boat (a mini-adventure itself), to a easy check-in, made for an stress-free arrival at Drake Bay. The quiet pool was glorious after morning tours. The only issue was wifi reception in the room was poor, but decent by the pool/office/restaurant area.

Mauricio the property manager is very helpful with information on tours in the area and anything else you may need during your stay. Laundry service on site is reasonable and quick. I was a week into my trip when I arrived at Hotel Margarita and I dropped off laundry in the morning and it was ready when I returned from my excursion. I highly recommend Hotel Margarita and will stay there again when I return to Drake Bay!

Mauricio was very helpful when we arrived, even gave us a better room as ours was on the second floor. And, carrying luggage upstairs would have been difficult. The location was good too as we had a whale watching tour the next morning and were able to leave our bags with Mauricio and walk down to the beach. Would recommend staying here!

We stayed 5 nights at Hotel Margarita. We had them (Alberto) book our tours and found that if you pay cash (dollars or colones) you save some money on your tours. We did the snorkeling (well worth the money!) - 4 different snorkeling stops, an island stop and a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant. Corcovado Park tour - make sure and take shoes to get wet getting in and out of the boat, as well as shoes to wear while touring the park (they provide a lunch at the part and you are not allowed to wear your hiking shoes in the facility). And the surprise wonderful tour that we took was horseback riding! The horses turned into a river and actually walked in and out of the river - your feet get wet often (very nice as it cools you down), you then hike a little bit to a wonderful waterfall - wear your suit! You get to swim and it is SO refreshing! As far as the hotel, we loved the pool, room, and the location! Our room had a great deck and so many beautiful birds were constantly out there on the nearby trees - download the app Merlin - it will identify birds by their call. The hotel is a short walk to the boat pickup for tours, etc. and just around the corner from the row of awesome restaurants in Drake Bay. We ate at a different place every meal and loved all of them! Overall, we loved everything about our stay at Hotel Margarita!

Lovely hotel

Our room was clean, spacious and very well appointed with a comfortable King bed and a queen bed. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. Good pool and terrace with hammocks. The tree outside our window was visited every day by 3-4 toucans - fantastic to watch all their behaviour at such close quarters. Thanks to Mauricio for all his help. Highly recommended.

The hotel is good value for money and in a nice location. Our room was quite dark as only the bathroom has a window but this was not a problem as we did not spend much time in the room. The pool area is quite small with only 4 chairs at the poolside which is not enough for a hotel this size. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel feels slighly outdates and could do with some renovations but the price reflects this.

Hotel Margarita has the best pool so far on this trip. Unlike other pools it was refreshing, (but not cold). The hotel staff was wonderful and very helpful. The only negative for me is that their standard rooms have windows that gave the common hallway. When closed for privacy the room feels like a cave. Although it was very comfortable I need natural light to truly be content.

We loved our stay at Hotel Margarita. Our rooms were comfortable and clean and the property is quaint and pretty. There is a small pool for cooling off and great views of birds in the trees all around. It’s just a few minutes walk to the water for all your boat based activities but it is dirt road and a bit steep so keep that in mind for your own physical abilities. What makes this place stand out is the staff. They are so kind and helpful and we enjoyed talking with Maurico and learning more about this area. He’s a busy guy but always goes out of his way to help. A very special shout out to Dixon, the chef at the attached restaurant, DinerCraft. My daughter has celiac and can also not eat dairy and he not only understood her needs but went out of his way to make her delicious meals that she could eat and stay healthy. All of our food here was exceptional. The bar is good too, we got many fresh fruit smoothies and cocktails, all delicious. I would highly recommend Hotel Margarita and DinerCraft for anyone looking for personalized service right in the middle of town.
