Hotel Rancho Corcovado, on the shore of Drake Bay
Rancho Corcovado is a small, family-run hotel in Drake Bay, on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica's southern zone, one of the most biodiverse corners of the country. The welcome is personal from the moment you step off the boat, and the hosts are part of the reason guests come back.
It suits families and nature lovers who want a simple, friendly base by the sea for days out in the forest and on the water.
Why we choose it
- A family welcome. This is a small hotel run by a local family, so the service is personal and the advice about the area comes from people who live in it.
- Sunrise and sunset from your room. The rooms look out over the bay, and the views at either end of the day are what guests remember.
- Tours organised on site. The hotel runs its own tour desk for Corcovado, whale watching and diving, so planning the days is easy.
Rooms and views
The rooms are roomy and comfortable, set up for single, double or triple use, which works well for families. Each has a private bathroom with hot water and a ceiling fan. They are simple, and that is fine: what makes them special is the view over Drake Bay, with the light changing on the water from the first hour of the morning to the last.
On the property
The hotel sits on wild, natural land by the bay, so birds and other wildlife are part of daily life around the rooms. The tour desk on site books the boats and guides for Corcovado, Caño Island and the whale and dolphin trips, and the hosts can tell you which day suits which outing best.
Location and getting there
Drake Bay faces the clear blue Pacific and is the gateway to Corcovado National Park, one of the last great stretches of coastal primary rainforest, full of plants and animals found almost nowhere else. From Rancho Corcovado we can arrange a guided day in the park, snorkelling and diving at Caño Island, horseback riding, boat trips through the ocean mangroves and the dolphin and whale watching this coast is known for.
