Hotels near Isla Violin

The location, the house itself and the family that runs it. The road to reach it was a bit challenging but once arrived….wow! The garden is amazing! So well maintained and beautifully designed. A river functions as an outdoor swimming pool. Angelika and her team were utterly sweet and generous. We only had 2 days and felt sorry for that. We did a mangrove boat tour and went horse riding. Both great experiences.

We were looking for accommodation a little past Drake Bay that was even more remote. The location is exceptional. The rooms are simply furnished. The beach is 50 meters away, the nature surrounding the accommodation, the wonderful family that welcomes you here with authentically homemade dishes. We had an unforgettable experience here for 4 days.

Amazing stay with a very friendly host who was good at English and always helpful. It is a secluded area, so bring snacks when arriving. Would definitely visit again!

We stayed in the family room 7/8 which is up on the hill and has amazing views of the ocean (and sunset). Every day we would see (or hear) the scarlet macaws and toucans in the trees. Appreciated the AC, the outdoor kitchen & living room and that everything was very clean. Landscaping is beautiful. Definitely recommend getting breakfast included--kitchen at the hotel is well run and food is delicious Costa Rican fare. Tours were easily organized through hotel and very convenient. We did Corcovado overnight, Caño Island snorkeling and a sunset boat ride. Our guides were always excellent and then you didn't need to organize any transportation from the hotel.

Beautiful view, around you just nature. Very friendly personal! You can book a lot of very cool tours like to the corcovado, snorkeling at isla the cano or nighttour.

Drake Bay is a remote yet breathtaking destination, and our stay at Natural Drake Bay Hotel made our visit truly unforgettable. We spent four nights here as the final leg of our Costa Rica trip, hoping to find a comfortable place that would enhance our experience of this faraway corner of the world. I’m thrilled to say we couldn’t have chosen a better place. Natural Drake Bay is a family-run hotel situated in a stunning location, perched perfectly to offer beautiful views of the bay. Both the pool and restaurant offer stunning views of the bay, creating a mesmerizing scene —at one point, we even saw whales jumping from the water! The beach is also just a 3 minute walk. Patricia, Daniel, and their team, particularly Victor, provide a luxurious experience. Throughout our stay, we felt very well cared for. Everyday, when you arrive, Patricia welcomes you with refreshing, beautifully scented cold towels, which is a wonderful treat after a hot day. Victor then serves the most exquisite fruit juices I’ve ever tasted. Even when activities (Corcovado Park visit, Snorkeling in Caño Island, ….) started at the crack of dawn, they were there to prepare breakfast for you The hotel takes great pride in highlighting local cuisine at dinner, with top quality produce exquisitely cooked. The rooms offer views of the surroundings, which were full of life (Birds, Iguanas, Monkeys) and relaxing in the hammocks was a spectacle in itself. Toucans would perch in the tree next to the cabin, while showering. The toiletries were of high quality, adding to the overall sense of luxury. In summary, Natural Drake Bay Hotel provided us with an exceptional experience, combining comfort, natural beauty, and warm hospitality.

We stayed here for the last two days of our honeymoon. It was the cherish on top. Very warm welcoming by Hellen and Steven and family. They took good care of us, making sure we had all the equipment for our tour in Corcovado national park and arranged the tour and transportation. The room was very nice, clean and private with a fantastic view. We saw a lot of animals close by. The food was outstanding! The best stay we had during our honeymoon in Costa Rica.

We had a lovely stay, good breakfast, Catherine was very kind and well informed, booked a great snorkeling tour for us

Very lovely old traditional house. The owner was super friendly. The property really lovely and location super convenient. We stayed in the separate cabin - it's modest, but very cozy and we loved having the screened-in porch to relax at night. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Very beautiful and quiet place! Within the jungle, with beautiful trees and flowers, monkeys, different birds and reptiles around. Lake in front with friendly crocodiles. The food was wonderful!! I would love to return one day!!!
