My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Finca Maresia. Juan was an excellent host and the tours were well planned and very interesting. We enjoyed lounging in the hammocks, wandering to town and the beach, and the evening meals where we got to meet our fellow travelers. A great balance of privacy and communal experience in this tropical... More

We really loved our eight night stay at Finca Maresia. Juan really wants you to have a special and memorable vacation and works hard to make things come together! We would definitely recommend going to Oldemar's place - this is unique and memorable. While we don't speak Spanish we still had a great time and we saw a tapir on... More

We stayed 4 nights here with our 2 teenage boys and loved it. We had the short (and not too expensive-$100pp) flight in a 12 seater plane to ourselves with splendid views- there is a discount with Sansa if you stay at Finca Maresia. Juan could not have been more helpful, making sure any activities we did were suitable and... More

We absolutely loved Finca Maresia, it felt like home by the end of our stay. Juan arranged pick up from the airstrip and I was a bit nervous on the drive as it seemed very far from town but it was perfect, out of the way but close enough to get a reasonable costing taxi. We actually ended up staying... More

WE chose Finca Maresia based on the many outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. Juan was very responsive to our many pre-arrival e-mails and continued to try and addomodate our every request during our 4 night stay. I would recommend taking advantage of his dinner specials as we discovered that the average cost of dinners during the... More

We stayed five nights in April in Bungalow #1. Our journey to Drake Bay was by 4x4 Jeep and much easier than what we read...all bit it in the dry season. The owner Juan was VERY helpful from the start. He really seemed to care about our stay and the activities we enjoyed while there. Our vacation in Costa Rica... More

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights while on our honeymoon in March and April and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From planning our trip beforehand to when we left, Juan the owner was very helpful with giving us advice with travelling and making our arrangements. When we arrived at Drake Bay we were welcomed on the... More

First off Juan goes out of his way to make everyone happy, and succeeds. The cabins are rustic but very comfortable, beds were great, cool bathroom with an open shower. We did not have prior reservations but were lucky to have a nice cabin. The excursions that he puts together using locals gives you a true taste of what this... More

Finca Maresia was the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. We stayed 6 nights. It is run by the amazing Juan, who somehow knows everything and helps everyone personally. He is completely focused on ensuring that everyone who stays there has a wonderful time. Not only does he ensure the hotel runs smoothly, he also cooks (well), organises tours... More
