I cannot even begin to say enough great things about this place! Our room was less than 30 yards from an amazing beach. The rooms are very simple but VERY clean and provide you with the basics you need. The hotel is owned and operated by an incredible Costa Rican Family that makes you feel right at home. Roger the...

The rooms are basic and quite a walk up the hill to our room...but we felt like we were on top of the world! Beautiful beach, great tours to Corcovado Park and Cano Island and terrific bird watching from our porch and the restaurant. I can't say enough good things about the staff....so warm, welcoming, and eager to please! We... More

We had a room that took a long climb to get to but worth the climb. We would sit outside our room and bird watch. Wonderful! We also loved being able to walk out of the restaurant and into the water. Food was good except the meats were overdone but there was so much of everything else, it did not... More

We spent 2 nights in this hotel, the rooms are very clean and comfortable like all the infrastrucutres of the hotel. The food is simple but really delicious. The managers are very nice and helpfull to organise activities. The location directly on the beach is also great!

Rancho Corcovado is directly on the beach of Bahia Drake. If you have 3 kids you will love watching them playing on the beach from your hammock, relaxing after a beautiful but tiring excursion to Corcovado National Park or to Isla Cano. We had a family room with private bathroom and air conditioning. Clearly rooms are basic, but this is... More

Beautiful area of CR!1 Our cottage overlooked the Pacific and was very clean and nice. Bath in room... Food was great - this place is family run and the host is very attentive - Rancho Corcovado is a good alternative to the high end resorts just down the beach... The food is spendid. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again

We stayed at Rancho Corcovado for 3 nights. It is a small place run by a very nice Tico family. Mario, the owner and his children and even some grandchildren help out with things. The rooms are fairly basic, but very clean. The location is right off the beach and the views from just outside the room are fantastic. They... More

When we were in Drake Bay we stayed at Pirate Cove and then Rancho Corcovado. Although we liked both place, Rancho Corcovado was more relaxing and much cheaper! The room was OK but the location is amazing, our cabin was just in front of the ocean and we had the beautiful deserted beach all to ourselves! The food was very... More
