Budget Hostels from

"My wife and I loved Ocean Forest. I would describe it as tropical rustic. It was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful"

"Great location, extremely friendly family - they even washed our car without us asking! Good facilities for self-catering but also short walking distance to shops and restaurants. 15 mins to the beach. There was so much wildlife to be seen from the actual property especially in the mornings and evenings!"

"Birders paradise, friendly staff always there to help!! Highly recommend if you are staying in Drake Bay!!!"

"Very nice staff and location. Breakfast was excellent. Pool was clean"

"Amazing stay! We came here for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect choice. One of the owners of the lodge, Sebastien, even picked us up and dropped us off at the airport himself. We were really impressed with this level of service! He and his partner, Christophe, were always so kind to us. Christophe even went above and beyond to help us get money back when we encountered a scam off of the resort. All of our meals were incredible! It was really fun to be surprised at each meal with what was being served, and we never had anything we didn’t like. They were very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our excursions and even walked us to the beach to make sure we got one the right boat. One of our favorite experiences was walking to the beach with the lodge dog- Oro! Our first walk down, he was our guide! It was very impressive and adorable. The honeymoon suite was amazing! It is off on its own, so you get a little extra privacy. The views are amazing too. We would love to come back here again one day and would recommend this spot wholeheartedly. "

"It was great local hotel!! We appreciated staying there! Dylan was amazing help!!"

"The owners and staff were lovely, and worked hard to grant any request. Many birds on the property, plus a nearby howler monkey and some Capuchin monkeys by the beach."

"Mila was exceptional & always greeted us with a warm friendly smile. She helped accommodate us as a family member was sick. Mila also went out of her way to help me celebrate my birthday We stayed at the very top of the property which was amazing but not for those who are elderly or struggle with a step climb. "

"Very fun stay at Cotingas, despite the tours we had booked being cancelled because of excessive rain. Needless to say, that was no fault of the hotel but it did mean we spent more time there and realized what a great place it was. Excellent location right next to the town but still quiet; lots of animal sightings, a great view--albeit mostly of rain on this occasion--and very good service from the excellent staff. We want to go back to Drake Bay and do what we could not this time--and when we do we will certainly stay here again."
