We stayed here three nights, went to Corcovado National Park one day and walked around looking at birds and relaxing for a couple days. The trip by boat from Sierpe was a little rough, but exciting! Drake Bay is a very small, remote village which we really enjoyed. Cabinas Manolo has a restaurant that has very good food and very... More

I stayed here with a friend whilst for a couple of nights. Drake Bay is amazing and I enjoyed staying at Cabinas Manolo, they were very accommodating and tried their best to help out. The location is good, relatively short walk to the beach and the rooms were fine, basic but everything we needed. There was a powercut whilst we... More

My friend and I came to the Osa to see birds and wildlife. We found much more in the charming Cabinas Manolo. The lodging, service, restaurant, and good value have been favorably commented on by many others, but I would like to add how happy we were with the beautiful location and the friendliness of the staff. Mauricio was very... More

This modest hotel exceeded my expectations and made for a pleasant stay. The rooms were quite comfortable and functional, and the ceiling fan made the high heat and humidity go away. Mauricio and Najer were very helpful and patient for my many questions, and Ingrid handled the restaurant fare promptly and professionally. The hotel linked access from Sierpe and Corcavado... More

We booked for six nights from February 18 (arrival) to February 24 (departure) via booking com the Cabinas Manolo, Drake Bay. Many months before we had a very kindly, friendly and very informative e-mail contact with the manager Mauricio (together with all members of the family) who helped us with our individualistic questions. We are both biologists for zoology and... More

Best thing? Excellent value, very clean & beds were comfortable. Drawbacks? No AC but there are also just screened in windows, so even though nature sounds amazing, your neighbors, roosters and motorcycles aren't so much.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cabinas Manolo. The rooms were clean. We ate almost all our meals in their restaurant, and they were very good. We especially enjoyed the overnight stay in Corcovado. Neyer was an excellent guide. They went out of their way to arrange tours for us to the Sierpe mangroves with another hotel.

We've had excellent service and the place is really well located, 5 minutes walk to the beach, 5 minutes to an excellent restaurant, nearby grocery. We had a really good time there, took the snorkeling trip to Cano Island, a must-see! (if you do make sure that you take full advantage of diving time, there is so much to see.... More

The incredable wildlife and plant life by the guides as they leed you through paradise. Another something awsome everywhere you look. Manolo's tours, guides, food and charming hospitality are the very best. Absolutly enchanting.
