Hotel Jacamar, Drake Bay

Loved the room and large bathroom with walk-in shower, but hot water did not last very long. AC a bit draughty for sleeping, needs a lower fan speed setting. Balcony overlooks a small but lush valley with lots of birdlife, but you can't see the sea from here. Disco at Ficus Bar across the valley very noisy up till 2am, which is bad news when getting up at 5am for 6am tour departures. Breakfasts excellent, with several choices, ordered the night before. Nearby Bahia Azul restaurant looks basic, but excellent food. Bottled water is C1000 for 2L from nearby supermarket.

Very nice spot. Great base for exploring the area.

Our stay here was one night, on our way to Osa National Park. Hotel was wonderful, clean and the owner was very helpful trying to contact the tour group that we arranged prior to the trip. Owner met us with his SUV at the beach after we got off the boat from Sierrpe. The drive was very short, walking distance is about 5- 10 minutes but with luggage going uphill would have been unpleasant so we really appreciated it. Room was clean and comfortable but the it's close to the street that's noisy with cars and motorbikes going by. Everything get pretty quiet after 10 though.
