Luxurious Rainforest Retreat in Drake Bay, Osa, Costa Rica

This house was exactly what I wanted for my stay with my children in Costa Rica. Surrounded by the rainforest, short walk down to the beach. We saw many bird species from the balconies, watched capuchins and spider monkeys in the trees, enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks while blue morphos flew by. We also saw a coati, an agouti, and many scarlet Macaws. It was truly magical. If you want to get away from the touristy areas and be immersed in nature this area is perfect. Pablo and Lucia were excellent hosts- helped with airport transport and had great tips. Loved it!!!

This was a fantastic opportunity for our family to experience Costa Rica away from the hustle of the mainland. We had amazing jungle experience and saw a ton of exotic wildlife without even taking a tour to Corcovado. Great beaches. The hosts were amazing and very helpful. This was an 11/10 for sure.

Our Host where the best and took care of the details. They really cared and had a heart of gold.

Remote, lovely location with spectacular private beach and beautiful hikes on the ocean trail. Make sure you walk to Drake Bay (approximately an hour each way) and to Rio Clara (approximately 40 min.). We almost didn’t go to Pablo and Lucia’s as I wasn’t feeling well prior to our stay. So happy wewent as their open air house is very nice and Pablo, Lucia and Sophia were very helpful and delightful. We also recommend doing a Corcorvado National park tour which Pablo and Lucia organized for us.

Our stay here was the best part of our time in Costa Rica! A secret paradise, the home and location are superb and the hosts have taken immaculate care to make sure that things are perfect for guests. Pablo and Lucia are sharing a special place with the world by hosting guests at their beautiful home. Not only that, they are also incredibly generous, sharing their knowledge of the area and the wildlife. They were so helpful answering questions before we arrived and also helping us arrange taxis and tours to make sure were using local guides and services. We bought our groceries in Drake Bay and Pablo and Lucia helped us get a taxi from Drake to their place and met us for the short walk in (and helped us carry our groceries!). We didn't eat at the local soda but heard it is good. We watched wildlife out the back door (and even from inside as the creatures are quite at home inside and outside around the house). The fans kept things cool at night and we did use the mosquito nets for the kids but I don't believe they were necessary. We played at the beach and hiked the trail during the days and did both a Caño Island tour and a horse riding tour right from the place and highly recommend both. Pablo and Lucia helped us arrange both. This is a fantastic place to stay and we loved every moment of our time there!
