We loved it here.
Pros:

wonderful view of the ocean. The room was very clean. AC was great. Food was great. Staff was exceptionally friendly, very knowledgable, very happy to help, made a huge difference in how we enjoyed our stay. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. The hotel has direct beach access.

Cons:

the room was little smaller than I expected. Access to local nature was little more difficult than I originally thought. THe trail network is on the other side of the village. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and made for some exceptional birding, but going to the forest was harder than I thought. That said, the hotel provided ample opportunities to connect to local guides and adventures.

Ocean meets jungle retreat with plenty of sporting opportunities.
Pros:

It was right on the beach and if your window was open, you can hear the ocean waves crashing at night.

Cons:

I had to climb 72 stairs to get to my room. It really was the final challenge at the end of the day. The whole town was very rough and steep terrain.

Pros:

Enorm nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Auf Nahrungsmittelunverträglichkeiten wurde problemlos und sehr toll eingegangen.
Stromausfall wurde zu einen romantischen Candlelightdinner mit leckerem, warmem Essen umgestaltet.

Great room, excellent view, lovely staff
Pros:

Conveniently located on the beach and in walking distance to other restaurants. My room was beautiful, very comfortable and I had an exceptional view of the beach.
The staff are all friendly and always available to help with anything.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have a small fridge and coffee making facilities in the room which I’ve had at every other place I’ve stayed in Costa Rica

A short comfortable stay.
Pros:

Just a note you will need a 4x4 if you’re driving to the property.

Basic, clean accommodation in a great location.
Pros:

Location was great with beautiful views and access to the beach for swimming and boat transfers. The staff were really helpful meeting us and taking our luggage off the boat for us.

Cons:

The ‘superior room‘ was very basic and had no wardrobe or closet for clothes. There was an adjoining room and the people sounded like they were in the same room with us. We asked to be moved to a ‘basic room’ which was much quieter.

A gem - location and staff couldn't be better
Pros:

Food was brilliant and waiting and kitchen staff so lovely, accommodating and cheerful. The reception staff also went out of their way to help us locate lost luggage, making calls and taking away the stress. Loveds watching the hummingbirds from the balcony. Location perfect

Cons:

Nothing I didn't like and would definitely stay again but going forward some loungers at the front picnic area would be lovely to admire the view.

Pros:

Our reception host was fantastic, always on the ball and super friendly. Apologies I can't remember her name but she wears glasses and loves cats!
The location was ideal for our tour to Corcovado. We had full board which was good, particularly breakfast. There was an open coffee and tea bar throughout the day.
The room was basic but had everything we needed.
We had a great transfer to and from Sierpe with the hotel owner which cost the same $20 as usual but was a lot less crowded which was organised through whatsapp.

A lovely accommodation while staying in Drake bay
Pros:

First of all, I was welcome very nicely by Milagros and Alexis the receptionists as soon as I arrived and when I was ushered in, I did also received a welcome drink as well. That was a great start.
I really want to say how friendly, smiling and lovely Milagros has been with me since day one: always helpful, always smiling and always ready to provide me with anything I needed.
The room I had was very clean, with a tiled floor, a daily fresh clean sheet and towels made into some artistic by the cleaner. The bathroom was clean properly daily, it was nice and spacious with a very lovely shower.
The breakfast menu had a great selection served promptly and with as much tea/coffee was as you like.
The hotel also provide free bedsits and free beach towels that you can use on the beach in front of the hotel.
The Hotel also organise any sort of tours and/or activity one wish to experience while in Drake bay.
If I have the chance to go back to Drake bay, I will not hesitate to book once again at Rancho Corcovado Hotel.
A very well done and a big thank you to the whole team for the exquisite hospitality

Cons:

I cannot find anything that I did not like. Maybe that there is a quite steep dirt road to go to the main area of the village
