We booked for six nights from February 18 (arrival) to February 24 (departure) via booking com the Cabinas Manolo, Drake Bay. Many months before we had a very kindly, friendly and very informative e-mail contact with the manager Mauricio (together with all members of the family) who helped us with our individualistic questions. We are both biologists for zoology and... More

Best thing? Excellent value, very clean & beds were comfortable. Drawbacks? No AC but there are also just screened in windows, so even though nature sounds amazing, your neighbors, roosters and motorcycles aren't so much.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cabinas Manolo. The rooms were clean. We ate almost all our meals in their restaurant, and they were very good. We especially enjoyed the overnight stay in Corcovado. Neyer was an excellent guide. They went out of their way to arrange tours for us to the Sierpe mangroves with another hotel.

We've had excellent service and the place is really well located, 5 minutes walk to the beach, 5 minutes to an excellent restaurant, nearby grocery. We had a really good time there, took the snorkeling trip to Cano Island, a must-see! (if you do make sure that you take full advantage of diving time, there is so much to see.... More

The incredable wildlife and plant life by the guides as they leed you through paradise. Another something awsome everywhere you look. Manolo's tours, guides, food and charming hospitality are the very best. Absolutly enchanting.

We stayed 4 nights at Cabinas Manolo and loved how the rooms were so clean, comfortable and fairly spacious. It was so nice to come back from a day of exploration to such comfortable surroundings. The people that run the place were very helpful with setting up tours (we did the Sirena trip and they made special arrangements to do... More

We stayed here 3 nights and liked this place. It’s good value for money and the location is good for the town and the beach. Drake Bay is a very sleepy little place. We did the Sirena station tour with them which was a great day. The rooms are simple but nice, there is free wifi and the staff on... More

We had lunch at the restaurant after meeting a guide in Sirena who said they had excellent food and rooms to stay in. Upon arrival we realized they had no rooms but we were so hot from walking up the hill to the hotel that we decided to stay for lunch. Big mistake. My husbands burrito was microwaved and my... More

The two of us stayed at Cabinas Manolo, in the town of Agujitas, Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, from Nov. 13 to 20, 2012. It was great! That said, if you’re looking for 5-star resort, big city accommodations, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a small, clean, comfortable, inexpensive place to stay, that provides laundry service onsite, that... More
