I stayed at a hotel in Drake. Jinetes was a 10 minute walk from my B&B. They were very professional at the dive center, and their equipment was good. Ivan was great to dive with. Highly recommended. I would have gone 5 stars, but their dive price is the same whether you have all your own gear, or use theirs.... More

Such a great escape with friendly staff who provide excellent service. The meals were wonderful and the back drop could not have been more perfect. Our room was spacious and very clean with a huge bathroom. You can't beat this place for location and price. They are also the local dive experts and I highly recommend you book with them... More

Jinetes de Osa offers a basic room. The rooms are cleaned daily, but they are nothing special. What makes this hotel an excellent property is the location and the service. The general managers, Patrick and Gisela, were fantastic. They took the time to get to know our needs, show us the property and provide ideas for different tours and other... More

To get to Jinetes de Osa you have to take the ferry to Drake bay. Someone greets you at the beach and brings your luggage to your room. The owners were very friendly and organized from the start. They showed us our room and asked us what activities we were interested in. They made a little planning for us and... More

Close by the beautiful Corcovado National Park on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast Osa Peninsula, Jinetes is pretty bare-bones in its accommodations. But with just a few rooms and limited number of guests, it offers an opportunity to make new friends and to get to know the very helpful staff (particularly Giovanni, a guide and -- equally important -- the bartender)....

Jinetes de Osa is the kind of place where you get up early to take part in activities. 5:00 am the coffee and tea is placed on the deck outside of the rooms and breakfast starts then if not before. You then are wisked awayto any one of a number of experiences ..to a waiting tour boat to the Sirepe... More

We had a lovely time. I've glanced at some of the few negative reviews and I'll suggest that this is quite a remote location, and if you want a 5-star experience, pay twice the money and stay at the nearby Aquila. However, for my money, I don't *want* to be entirely sheltered from the place I'm visiting, and my one... More

Jinetes de Osa is just right. It is comfortable, not fancy. It is not cheap, but it is excellent value for money. It is quiet and peaceful, but not isolated. It is right on a hiking trail, right on a beach, right in the middle of all the adventure tours you might want. But if you want to chill and... More

Stayed here for five nights in February 2012 and had a tremendously fun time diving, hiking, beaching, and amusing ourselves. I think 5 nights is the appropriate number of days here although it could be done in 4. Found the staff to be great, and send our thanks to the hotel managers Patrick and Giselle as well as our guides... More
