Amazing hotel
Pros:

Loved this hotel. Excellent food and service. The view were fabulous, we saw toucans, macaws and humming birds from our terrace. We chose to travel from Sierpe and the boat ride to the hotel was very exciting! Would definitely stay again and hope to come back soon!

Pros:

All meals are made n lauded. You feel like a VIP here, the views and access to Colorado and isla del cano all there. The food is excellent. Did I say the views of ocean are amazing? They are. Unforgettable place

Pros:

Lots of wildlife (capuchin monkeys and toucan for us), good diving operation, good food, and attentive staff. Too humid for me and not much to do beyond lodge offered activities, but just a nice place to relax. Difficult access (fly into Drake Bat airport and then car and boat to reach the lodge).

Five Stars in every way!
Pros:

If you’re looking for a beautifully-maintained and managed eco-lodge in a remote location with an abundance of wildlife and great food then this is it! And the excursions were amazing too!

Pros:

This was our second time coming to Aguila de Osa. My husband and I stayed here 21 years ago, and for Spring Break we just brought our teenage daughters with us for a return trip. Brad and his staff were wonderful! The location can’t be beat and the food is excellent! The entire staff is attentive and accommodating and they will arrange all of your excursions into Corcovado National Park, snorkeling to Cano Island, night walks with a naturalist, and more. We also took advantage of the kayaks that you can take up the river or to the beaches. Wonderful time!

Pros:

We spent 4 lovely days at Aguila de Osa. All of the staff were exceedingly kind and assisted us with any request. We went on a long hike and were offered a packed picnic lunch that was incredible. The guides were also extremely knowledgable and personable. Meals were fresh, varied, delicious and beautifully presented. Guests were all adventurous spirits which made meal conversation interesting. Highly recommend for an off the beaten path experience!

Pros:

We went here for our honeymoon and we loved it! They even created a floral basket when they found out we were there for our honeymoon. The food is fantastic! I would come back just for the welcome drink 😀 The room we stayed at didnt have air conditioning but that’s expected. They did include a fan which helped! Overall we loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

Pros:

Hôtel perdu sur Drake Bay, très beau site!
Configuration intéressante en arrivant en bateau, c’est plutôt rigolo.
Freddy le capitaine du bateau et les 2 serveurs du restos sont supers.
Par contre la personne qui nous a accueilli, le personnel de ménage et les autres sont moyens.
Aucun conseil donné, excepté sur les tours à vendre par l’hôtel. Aucune réponse à nos questions sur les autres restos de Drake, le tour que nous voulions faire n’était plus dispo alors que je l’avais demandé par mail quelques jours avant et qu’on m’avait répondu « aucun problème », du coup tour avec un guide dans le Corcovado qui nous a fait passé plus de temps sur la plage que dans la forêt.
Une femme de ménage est restée plus d’une heure sur un rocking-chair avec son téléphone tandis qu’un verre sale est resté 2 jours sur notre terrasse...
C’est rien de grave, mais au prix de l’hôtel C’est chiant.
Par contre la chambre est plutôt cool, et le lieux aussi.
Possibilité de plongée et ça c’est cool.

Fabulous
Pros:

This place is fantastic. Wonderful location and amenities. The food here is 5-star and the service is even better. I loved the grounds of the hotel. Just be aware there are a lot of steps to get to your room. A lot. Even still I will be back.

Pros:

Incredible food, beautiful setting, attentive staff and overall great experience. Our only complaint was the comfort of the beds, too hard for us.

Beautiful home base for exploring the Osa
Pros:

We went to the Osa for the wildlife and we were not disappointed. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful birds and the guided trips you take with Carlos will allow you to put names to what you see and allow you to see what you are missing that is plainly there, whether looking for birds or nightlife. Carlos is an excellent naturalist. After many years of guiding, he will be just as excited as you to see an anteater, a Toucan our a pair of squawking scarlet macaws. The guides provided; for the Cano snorkleing trip and the Corcavodo trip were also excellent.

Pros:

We spent 5 days at Aguila, it was amazing. The guest list is small and intimate, the food fresh and delicious and the staff is amazing. Bradd the owner is on site and delightful. There is something for everyone, but relaxing is perfect too!!! Best part of our Costa Rica experience!!

Aguila, Bahia Drake : une situation de rêve
Pros:

L'hôtel se trouve au coeur d'un jardin magnifique et jouit d'une vue grandiose sur la baie. Les chambres sont simples mais spacieuses. Les repas étaient excellents et le personnel adorable, très serviable et attentif à nos moindres souhaits (choix de nourriture, allergies, etc.). A relever aussi la compétence, l'accompagnement et la gentillesse des guides lors des tours que nous avons faits.
