"We love love LOVED our stay here!!! Just thinking about our time here makes me want to be back in Costa Rica!! I thought it might not be our kind of place - and I also didn't realise the Corcovado day trip boats could pick you up from there - but I chose to spend a couple of nights there so that we'd be half-way along the Drake Bay Trail. But it actually turned out to be one of our favourite stays in Costa rica (and we traveled the country for a month!). Firstly, it was right on a beautiful...

"Really great staff who really know the area and cultivate the farm. They can give you information on ecology you won't find outside of guided tour groups in the park, and there's also yoga. The property is beautiful and it is easy to see birds.
It is a pretty primitive property and so you should be expecting bug bites and no modern comforts. Bathing in rainwater is amazing, but it is also not warm. Also the ants really bite- I was itchy for a week afterward. So be careful. "

"We really enjoyed our stay here! We were up in one of the rooms on the hill which had amazing views of the bay as well as great opportunities for birdwatching. The room itself was super clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great proximity to the nature trail as well! We would stay again for sure."

"We really enjoyed our stay here! The lodge was really clean wit amazing, open spaces and a nice pool. The washroom was clean and the rooms were really comfortable with AC and multiple beds, towels, and some blankets. Raquel was an awesome host and gave us really great recommendations nearby including restaurants and a convenience store. We weren't expecting so many critters but it was easy to keep them out of the bedrooms and didn't interfere much with our stay. It was such a good environment to...

"The driveway to the property was treacherous - I wish they had made us more aware of how challenging it was to drive up it even in a 4x4 and had other options clearly spelled out in the emails of if there was another place to park and walk up just for safety reasons. We almost didn’t make it and had tires spinning and it was a very scary and rough start to our Drakes Bay stay. Plus it is a long drive on tough roads to Drakes Bay and then to have the last 100 meters be one of the toughest parts was unfortunate.
We stayed in the house and heads up the bathroom is downstairs from the sleeping rooms and outside in the patio area so it was a little nerve wracking to walk down there at night."
Beachfront-rainforest tropical paradise retreat, Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula
10/10 Excellent
"This house was exactly what I wanted for my stay with my children in Costa Rica. Surrounded by the rainforest, short walk down to the beach. We saw many bird species from the balconies, watched capuchins and spider monkeys in the trees, enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks while blue morphos flew by. We also saw a coati, an agouti, and many scarlet Macaws. It was truly magical. If you want to get away from the touristy areas and be immersed in nature this area is perfect. Pablo and Lucia were excellent hosts- helped with airport transport and had great tips. Loved it!!!"
"Lovely staff, great food, as others have said it's very rustic which depends on your point of view how you take that. I loved it however, both ATV transfers we asked for didn't materialise which, esp for the route back, was mildly annoying.
Being in the room whilst it was raining cats and dogs during the night was incredible"
"The cabina had an extra extraordinary view.
We loved that the bedrooms were closed off and did have air conditioning, but that the rest of the unit was completely open
The house cleaning staff did an excellent job of cleaning every morning
I had laundry done, and it was very reasonably priced and done very well
The unit is within walking distance to almost everything but best of all the beach is right there!"

8/10 Good
"We actually stayed at the Big Banana house next door as there was no power available at the Binya House. No fault of the owner or property manager on the power problems as they escalated getting things back up and running. The upgrade to the bigger house was nice but the first 2 nights we only had use of 2 hvac units and no hot water so we needed to move a mattress on the floor of one of the bedrooms to get our kids cooled off. Once power was fully restored, house was great. The location and views were amazing. The outdoor space was phenomenal. House was well stocked. Close to restaurants and beach. Owner and property manager very responsive and would stay again. "
"Great property in a lovely area. The perfect place to enjoy the Drake area. Very good tours. Brilliant staff. Clientele all very chilled out and low key. "
