My boyfriend and I stayed at Pirate Cove for three nights in early April and were pleased we had found this lovely place on the bay. We made the drive down from San Jose and what an adventure-took around 7-8 hours so be prepared. The potholes can swallow your car for nearly a 20 mile stretch! The staff at Pirate... More

This is a very relaxing and comfortable place to stay. We were lucky as we stayed in one of the cabins that was perched on the hill, just above the beach facing the sea. The cabins don’t look particularly special from the outside but on the inside you’ll find them very comfortable, very clean and relaxing. The buildings are of... More

Stayed in a bungalow. The ceiling fan was more than enough to keep us cool; some nights we didn't even need it (we were there in April). Meals were varied, fresh, consistently good. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the mix of people from Europe and the Americans made for a great atmosphere. We did 3 tours in 6 days... More

My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights in March. The location is beautiful!! We stayed in a cabin which was basic, large and clean. We had a little trouble sleeping at night because we were not accustomed to warm temperature. The fans were helpful though. The balcony and hammock were great for relaxing! We had a nice view...

We drove to Drake Bay and the river crossings were no problem. Just have confidence and get on with it. Pirate Cove is on the beach and a great gateway to the National Park. The accommodation is fine and the 'family style' dinning is great for getting to know people from across the globe. The staff are very friendly. Steve... More

The rooms were pleasant and I had no problem sleeping after enjoying... More

This was one of my favorite places in Costa Rica. Stayed in one of the a/c rooms and would definitely recommend that. Personnel outstanding. Kayaks, books, games available. The food was, hands down, the best we ate in any hotel or restaurant in CR. Was served in an open-air area at two long tables with the other guests, whom we... More

We were in two of the three newer rooms with air conditioning. Large and comfortable. The staff is outstanding and eager to please. The food - well, it was the best we had in Costa Rica - cannot say enough about that!

My friend and I are just finishing our 3-night stay at the Pirate Cove (Feb 2012). It's been a fantastic experience: The food was wonderful, the hotel staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly, and the cabin was clean, well appointed, and, as described -- pretty much on the ocean -- save for a few palms, ferns, and a large tree...
