We happened upon Jinetes at the end of a long beach hike and we are so glad we did. Checked out of the place we were staying and checked in here the next day. The property itself is irresistibly charming in a ramshackle 'Robinson Crusoe' kind of way. The ocean is practically at your feet even from the room. It... More

Drake Bay was remote and beautiful and Jinetes de Osa was in a wonderful location. All the staff, especially Giovanni and Maritsa, were so very helpful and friendly day in and day out with everyone! The trips were amazing, guides were informative and fun.We saw all kinds of animals and fish. We also really enjoyed the group dinners and sharing... More

Lovely Hotel with excellent staff who really look after you. Probably the best service we've ever had on a diving trip/vacation. Excellent location. And the meals were fantastic; fresh homemade bread Every day. Really enjoyed the sit down evening meal. Take the Jinettes Zip Line tour - great fun.

My husband and I just got back from our first wedding anniversary trip to Costa Rica. We spent the first three nights of our trip in Jinetes de Osa Hotel and it was great!

Jinetes De Oso has a friendly staff and Chris, the chef, made excellent meals. We were somewhat disappointed that we were not told how rustic this place would be. We few in to Drake Bay, and the taxi had to ford the river to get us to the hotel. Then we were dropped off in the sand quite a ways... More

We had a wonderful time in Drake Bay at this small hotel. The service was outstanding with management taking care of our every need. The food was filling and tasty. We loved sitting at the tables and bar at night an meeting other guests and getting to know some of the locals that happened by for a drink at the... More

I must say the staff was superb. But this inn was the first built in the area 50 years ago and looks it. Behind the manager's desk is a window sill rotted enough to pass a hand through. Septic seep across the public pathway under your door. Our bathroom reeked. The walls were thin -- little more than curtains. The... More
