Hotels near Isla Violin

Above anything else, we cannot thank Anouk and Kevin for going above and beyond to ensure that our family of 6 has the best experience possible in Costa Rica. They are truly amazing. The next time we come, we will need to make sure that we stay longer. Considering the remoteness of this property, it did not make sense to stay only 2 nights like we did. I would have loved to do another kayaking in the mangrove forests, spent an entire afternoon chilling in a hummock, or taken a walk in the neighborhood for bird-watching. At night, there were fireflies everywhere, and you hear howler monkeys in the morning.... It was magical. I also have to comment about the food. Kevin accommodated all our requests (portion size, vegetarian) and still made all of us very happy. He uses local produce and gives his own twist to dishes, which all of us enjoyed quite a bit.

Wonderful place for those who wish to be away from crowds and enjoy nature and a quite beach. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Home cooked local food was so delicious. David and Elena are wonderful hosts. Their place is the best kept secret in the Drake Bay area.

The family that own and run this property are wonderful and so friendly. A local Tico tribe of amazing people! The grounds are beautiful and Toucans and Bats frequent daily! The beach directly below the property is wild and beautiful and we were always the only ones there with fine dark brown sand and patches of shells and small rocks for treasure hunting for the day! I felt more relaxed and inspired after our 5 days and the simplicity of life at this place is the real plus! If you want the Hilton Hotel then this isn’t for you but if you want to decompress, enjoy nature and the people you love then this is the place for you!

Everything! From the exceptionnel hosts to the hamac on the balcony.

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 had amazing two nights at Greenleaf. The family-run business provides absolutely clean rooms with an amazing view, with monkeys, tucans and hummingbirds right in front of your terrace. They organized limited available tickets for the national park for us, which is a must-do. They've also invited us to their local yearly turtle release festival which was simply stunning. And the food is awesome.

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

The beautiful property is situated next to the river with an abundance of plants and animals. We have seen plenty of birds and a crocodile from the dock. An authentic experience!

Everything was top notch. Most amazing place I’ve ever stayed in my life.

Staff is real gem of this hotel. They all are very cute and help you with everything that you need. I love swimming pool. Very relaxing. You can see a lot of birds while swimming. The food is the hotel restaurant is very good.
