The room is super big and clean. There’s a balcony and from it you can see/hear monkeys, macaws, parrots, iguanas, and so many more animals. We were also able to get reservations to Corcovado National Park through the person at the reception desk. At the end of the trip we were also able to get reception to call us a taxi within 5 minutes of needing it. It was a lovely hotel with friendly staff too. ##### Allison Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise Jan 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A comfortable place to stay, and a reasonable price. ##### Louise Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Birders paradise, friendly staff always there to help!!

And, carrying luggage upstairs would have been difficult. The location was good too as we had a whale watching tour the next morning and were able to leave our bags with Mauricio and walk down to the beach. Would recommend staying here! ##### Rich Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy Mar 4, 2024 Liked: Amenities We were met from Drake Bay upon arrival and took us up the road to our hotel. The kitchen was very accommodating for breakfast and made us early breakfasts several days. The pool was beautiful and the room was air conditioned. Very nice. We also had a great view from the balcony of the trees and mountains and toucans on a nearby tree one night. ##### Judy Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Dec 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mauricio the property manager is very helpful with information on tours in the area and anything else you may need during your stay. Laundry service on site is reasonable and quick. I was a week into my trip when I arrived at Hotel Margarita and I dropped off laundry in the morning and it was ready when I returned from my excursion. I highly recommend Hotel Margarita and will stay there again when I return to Drake Bay! ##### Jason Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel Our room was clean, spacious and very well appointed with a comfortable King bed and a queen bed. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. Good pool and terrace with hammocks. The tree outside our window was visited every day by 3-4 toucans - fantastic to watch all their behaviour at such close quarters. Thanks to Mauricio for all his help. Highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### DANIEL Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel is good value for money and in a nice location. Our room was quite dark as only the bathroom has a window but this was not a problem as we did not spend much time in the room. The pool area is quite small with only 4 chairs at the poolside which is not enough for a hotel this size. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel feels slighly outdates and could do with some renovations but the price reflects this. ##### DANIEL Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janon Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed 5 nights at Hotel Margarita. We had them (Alberto) book our tours and found that if you pay cash (dollars or colones) you save some money on your tours. We did the snorkeling (well worth the money!) - 4 different snorkeling stops, an island stop and a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant. Corcovado Park tour - make sure and take shoes to get wet getting in and out of the boat, as well as shoes to wear while touring the park (they provide a lunch at the part and you are not allowed to wear your hiking shoes in the facility). And the surprise wonderful tour that we took was horseback riding! The horses turned into a river and actually walked in and out of the river - your feet get wet often (very nice as it cools you down), you then hike a little bit to a wonderful waterfall - wear your suit! You get to swim and it is SO refreshing! As far as the hotel, we loved the pool, room, and the location! Our room had a great deck and so many beautiful birds were constantly out there on the nearby trees - download the app Merlin - it will identify birds by their call. The hotel is a short walk to the boat pickup for tours, etc. and just around the corner from the row of awesome restaurants in Drake Bay. We ate at a different place every meal and loved all of them! Overall, we loved everything about our stay at Hotel Margarita! ##### Janon Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josef Dec 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Yes ##### Josef Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Judy Aug 10, 2025 A decent option for a quick overnight with a reasonable price. ##### Judy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There are many options for a luxury stay at Bahia Drake, which this is not a luxury place.

Rooms were clean, cool, and comfortable with great beds. Pool area and back porch were perfect for afternoons following tours. Front desk was super attentive and helpful with reserving taxis and answering all our questions. ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline Mar 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is a gem in this remote little town adjacent to Corcovado National Park. It has a lovely pool plus a large terrace and decks where you can watch colorful birds in the surrounding trees. The hotel restaurant is very good and the staff were extremely helpful in setting up tours for us and helping us with other recommendations. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Jan 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay at Hotel Margarita. From getting picked up from the boat (a mini-adventure itself), to a easy check-in, made for an stress-free arrival at Drake Bay. The quiet pool was glorious after morning tours. The only issue was wifi reception in the room was poor, but decent by the pool/office/restaurant area. ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Trapp Family Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Trapp-Family-Lodge.h4799289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Socialtel-Jaco.h18103596.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Oceano-Boutique-Hotel-Gallery.h8832353.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Osa Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Blue-Osa-Yoga-Retreat-Spa.h11717583.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Break Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Beach-Break-Resort.h2243571.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
