The first night we were exhausted but woken up by loud motorcycles circling at 2:30am. Otherwise everything was great. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. Bed was comfortable and room was nice. Pool was a nice benefit. The filtered water was nice to have. ##### Emily Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Timothy May 9, 2023 We spent 5 nights at Hotel Margarita and our experience was up and down. We arrived on the boat from Sierpe and unfortunately the hotel had made no arrangements to pick us up. When I walked up to the hotel the staff were clueless. When they put us in a room the A/C and fridge weren’t working. They did move us to another nice room. It was very comfortable with nice beds and it had a beautiful bathroom. We liked the views and they have a lovely patio area with hammocks where we could read, relax and watch the birds. The pool looks great but unfortunately they use some type of chemical that’s not chlorine and it stings the eyes and tastes terrible. It was very hot while we were there and we would have spent more time in the pool if not for the chemicals. The little bar and restaurant are run by Dixon who is a great chef and made a wide variety of dishes that were delicious. Even if you’re not staying here, it’s a nice option for dinner. The property was well kept up except sometimes dishes were left lying in the common areas for too long. Overall it was a nice, comfortable place to stay and a little more care from front desk would make a world of difference. ##### Timothy Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marieke Nov 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hele mooie gerenoveerde grote kamer met mooi balkon.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Christina Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Overall fairly good accomodation, great experience with birds around hotel. ##### Christina Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Birders paradise, friendly staff always there to help!!

The area of Drake Bay was pretty, but it is very rustic (dirt roads, limited dining, restaurants are open-air with no A/C, etc). However, Hotel Margarita definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Room #1 (Luxury Double Room with 1 King, 1 Queen, & 1 Twin bed). The room was updated and the A/C worked great. We were pleasantly surprised to see lots of small toucans right outside our room on multiple occasions during the daytime. We also saw scarlet macaws flying from a distance. The hotel staff were very friendly, and they even came to knock on our door once to let us know that some larger toucans were right outside as well (the kind from the Fruit Loops box). The breakfast was $9/person, but the food was very good and it included such things as fresh fruit, pancakes or an omelette, coffee, and orange juice. The staff will make reservations or arrange tours if you want (they arranged a night tour for us). Overall we loved our three nights at Hotel Margarita. ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### rudi Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### leuk hotel bij fantastisch corcovado NP Prima hotel, leuk kleurrijk ingericht met zwembad.

The staff were so helpful and nice. For example, they gave advice on how to get there as we weren't sure whether to drive or boat, then booked the boat for us and transported our luggage and us from the beach. The rooms spacious and clean and had everything we needed. The pool is nice to cool off in. We stayed 4 nights with our 2 teenagers and we all really liked it. Nice relaxed vibe. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosanna Apr 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean, friendly, natural Perfect spot to base in Drake Bay.

And from the pool you can see so many birds, it's almost like a little wildlife tour. ##### Rosanna Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### randall Mar 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The overall appearance of the property was favorable, but one soon observed that many small details needed attention: a large, loosened panel on the main stairway was not only a tripping hazard but was unsightly as were many pieces of rebar emanating from the concrete that clearly previously supported something but were left in place in a most unsightly manner. A few simple tools and hardware pieces would be an easy fix for both. The exterior wall of the facility possessed many pock marks that also could be easily fixed. The pool was accommodating but lacked half of the decorative tiles from the top of the pool leaving unsightly spaces of adhesive. A nearby container housed a large collection of these tiles that were apparently meant for patrons to add to upon additional tiles falling off. Draining a few inches from the pool and using simple tile adhesive to the unattached tiles would be an easy fix. Upon entering the property, there was no sign indicating where to check in. It took a few minutes to find the small office where the attendant wasn't unfriendly but not particularly welcoming either. The chef, on the other hand, was wonderful and clearly enjoyed talking with the guests. Food was fairly priced and was decent. Rooms were sparsely furnished but fine, and a small fridge was helpful. ##### randall Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Mar 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay at Hotel Margarita in Drake Bay Best stay in Drake Bay. 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 #### Mark Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel and location for the price. Simple and clean, functional, nice staff. Highly recommend for this budget!!! ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Mar 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 #### Colleen Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place to stay, we loved it! ##### Colleen Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sylvie Feb 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Très bon rapport qualité/prix pour la chambre, propre avec frigo et congélateur. Accueil super, on est venu nous chercher à la plage et reconduire après nos 5 jours. Le personnel de l'office est très serviable. La piscine est un plus et la cuisine est un peu chère mais bien bonne. La plage est à 10 minutes de marche. ##### Sylvie Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### philippe Jan 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Nice but Nice stay. The best was the Chef Dixon. The meals he prepared were great. The downside was the air conditioning unit on the top of the bed with cold air on us. ##### philippe Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura Jan 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Un petit rafraîchissement des installations est nécessaire.
