We really enjoyed our stay at Jacamar! The way the place is set up with beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the paths and room patio as well as the room itself was atmospheric.
The staff is very polite, easy/quick in communication and very helpful when booking tours to the Corcovado National Park as well as with recommendations for the area.

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 owner (Miguel) and his staff was the best part, he was so helpful and genuinely wanted your experience to be the best. From example, he picked us up and dropped us at the beach, he recommended a day out horse riding with Pepe which was so good, home cooked lunch and waterfall swimming was so memorable.
The hotel is clearly a passion, and is not for those looking for luxury (no AC), but that's the point, more in touch with nature

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.

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.

In Drake there is Corcovado Park, snorkeling, scuba diving and a public trail at the end of the beach to hike. 3 - 4 days is sufficient. Would take boat in from Sierpe, not drive in. The road is 25 km of NOT maintained gravel road, so potholes. NEED. 4 x 4 to get into town.
Great value for $. The rooms in the new part were big and comfortable and the air conditioning was great. Breakfast included was delicious and it started early which accommodated us for our early morning activities. The pool was awesome and we loved having a big clothesline area for guests to dry our wet clothes!! The hotel met us at the boat and drove us to the hotel which was nice as Drake Bay is all hills which is tricky with luggage. Great restaurant at the hotel and located close to the main road with lots of other restaurants and shops.
With a perfect location at 10 min by foot from the beach and the center of the village, while being situated in the middle of nature, this place really deserves its name! The hosts are very considerate, and they helped us in everything to make our journey the best stay ever: driving us from the beach to the hotel, booking the boat and tours for us, even lending us some cash because we ran out of it (be careful, no ATM in Drake Bay!). We could not have imagined a better experience in Corcovado!
Everything, the room, the shower, the place, how beautiful everything looked. The restaurant in the hotel is one of the best in drake bay. How you can see the the beach. It is very cost effective and the host will be there for you for everything. She really helped. I recommend this place... is one of the best hotel I have ever been.
By the way, they took us from the boat to the hotel when we arrived and after check out.
Thanks, Teresa.
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 hosts are the kindest, nicest, most helpful people. The breakfasts and meals at the restaurant are worthy of Michelin Five stars, the best in Costa Rica. The room was extremely comfortable and exceptionally clean. The location is astoundingly beautiful with a gorgeous private beach across the road. All tours and transportation were expertly handled. I highly recommend this hotel!
Absolutely fantastic, the jackpot in Drake bay. Unbelievable location near a wast deserted dream beach. Fantastic restaurant, wonderful clean and comfortable rooms with hot shower, fridge, internet and everything. A lovely garden to relax in! Amazing tour organisation, we did some tours with them and they were awesome! Charming people run the place, always helpful. A HIT!
Lovely little place in beautiful Drake Bay. Run by a lovely family who really looked after us. There are only 4 rooms in the house which makes it homely and relaxed. The place is not luxurious but well equipped for a few nights stay. We enjoyed a day in the national park and went hiking another day along the coast (recommend). Would come back here!
These cabins have an unbeatable view over Drake Bay and you will be able to make the most of it from the hammock on your private balcony. This is probably the best value in town. We also took a Corcovado overnight tour with them (since they offer a bunch of tours) and that was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We would absolutely recommend !
The locatio is supreme. We stayed at room no. 5, so we also had a little plunge pool on the deck looking over the drake bay and cool ourselves. A lot of animals around: scarlet macaws, toucans, colibbries and others. Breakfast is good servers in a beautiful balcony with a view.
In the room a kitchenette with micro and fridge
breakfast and restaurant was excellent food and staff at the restaurant were great. RIGHT ON THE OCEAN. NO POOL
path to a lovely jungle walk was steps away. Drake Bay itself has not much to offer other than tours. Loved all the visiting dogs... Needs some TLC ie; cusions for chairs and updated pictures in the rooms.
The hotel is conveniently located in the centre of Drake Bay, close to restaurants and tour operators. The room is clean and functional for a good price, and has A/C and fridge which is not usual in the area! We only stayed one night and it was perfect for that. Staff are efficient and friendly. Good WiFi.
This was an amazing place. Such friendly and warm staff. The morning breakfasts were a highlight - eating while watching beautiful birds land on the nearby trees. It has a wonderful view over Drakes Bay. The staff were very accommodating to our every need. We would highly recommend this place.
Hotel is conveniently located in the center of drake bay. Owner was very kind, available and helpful. we booked our corcovado tour through the hotel. Breakfast was very good (every day different) and in good quantity. Recommended!
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.
The location is the best in Drake Bay! The boat leaves you directly at the hotel and the tour picks you up there, the food is the best in Costa Rica! 100% recommended
The nicest place I’ve stayed. A convenient and easy walk along the beach to Downtown Drake. Great on site restaurant and a charming staff that gets it all done.
This hotel had beautiful, updated rooms with excellent air conditioning and comfortable beds. The pool was clean and beautiful. Breakfast was terrific.
