Hotels near Isla Violin

A magical place made all the more so by the lovely hosts, Anouk and Kevin. We had the place all to ourselves, but even if we hadn’t it is large enough that other guests wouldn’t have bothered us. Kevin is an excellent chef and we ate well (if too much!). Great little swimming hole to cool off in. We went on an early morning boat ride on the river with Melvin - so calm and beautiful. Take advantage when it’s high tide to kayak in the mangroves. We took the car ferry across the Sierpe river and then drove - a bit bumpy but very doable. There is nothing not to like about this corner of Costa Rica.

An incredible view , well worth the journey to get there.

Incredible location a stones throw away from a private beach and surrounded by nature. We saw macaws, a sloth, monkeys and hummingbirds, lizards, frogs and more. Very secluded and intimate lodging with great service and amazing meals.

The location was amazing. Right in the middle of the jungle. Lot's of animals and birds arrownd. Lovely hosts, good food. Clean and comfortable room. We had cold water showers but didn't care. This is the Ideal place if you want an authentic and relaxed vacation. Not suitable for people who search for luxury... We fell in love in the stuff ❣️ had wonderful tours Which they recommended. Felt sorry to leave

Amazing place with lovely and caring people who run the place. Wished we could have stayed longer

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.

This cabin was a lovely place to stay. The owner and the family were so nice, kind and welcoming. They made us a meal so we didn't have to drive anywhere. The cabin has a lovely, private and peaceful deck to sit on. Loved the bathroom with the exposed window. At dawn it was great to hear the birds and monkeys etc. The way the cabins are set out is great, nobody is overlooking anybody and the gardens surrounding them are lush and pretty. It's a little way out of town but that's the beauty of the place. Quiet, pretty, surrounded by nature with some nice walks along the lanes.

Quality food, great staff Staff did put together a lot of stuff to do for us and every thing we asked for was settled in a record time. We were there for new years eve and the tuna was to die for !!! we saw toucans and other great wildlife in our three days at the property Thanks Roy for putting up with us !

BEAUTIFUL home, amazing design of the house. Super friendly host that organized a taxi for us and was very accommodating. Great breakfast (and a lot of food!). Macaws in the backyard.
