Slightly out of town so hard to access the other restaurants in the evenings.

Nice accommodation which enabled us to access Drake bay and the beautiful surrounding national parks. Nice service and decent breakfast. Helpful in booking tours and transport always available

That I didn't have more time to do the Trail of the Tapir (Danta), but will return for this.

Hospitality, kindness, friendliness, sparkling clean rooms, air conditioner, warm water, delicious meals, hub for tours around the area (they are the main tour operators) peaceful setting with ocean view, and their trail to the blue clear beach, and plenty of wild life. Edith and Johnathan are beautiful humans, beautiful people, the best hosts ever. I don't have more words to say than you will be in the best place to stay and the right people to plan to see around Drake bay and the Osa Península ( Corcovado National Park).

Beautiful peaceful quiet direct across from the beach with perfect beach view to watch the sunset. The included breakfast was excellent and one had several choices. We chose the local food option: fresh fruit, drink of choice, rice and beans, homemade cheese, scrambled eggs, avocado and toast. The owners are very friendly, helpful, and timely. We loved our stay there.

Great welcome, air-conditioned rooms, quiet, only 10 minutes from the boat landing. With a good restaurant. I highly recommend this place to travelers visiting Corcodova.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

I enjoyed staying at Casa Gitana during my last few days in Costa Rica. The room was very spacious and clean. The hosts Edith and Jonathan were extremely helpful , they arranged water taxi from Sierpe, picked up, and dropped off service to pier and tour to Corcovado National Park. The garden is well kept with colourful plants and flowers, which attracts lots of birds. There was a beautiful Gitana beach to relax and watched the sunset. I highly recommend staying here to experience true Costa Rica beauty.

It is a common theme in Costa Rica to not invest much in sound insulation, an this hotel is no exception. It is a game of chance to get compatible neighbours around your room if you want a good night sleep. Children playing and screaming late into the night are not my favourite.

Great location. Beach is almost across the street. Good food being served on site.

Nothing to do with the hotel, but this location is pretty remote and the road is not in great condition (big potholes, rocks, sharp blind curves on hills). We came in at night, which I would not recommend.

Beach was great and we watched the sunset every night. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Considering the location in the countryside, right next to NP Corcovado, everything was above the expectations.

Amazing place - very clean, friendly and helpful staff, delicious (but really, delicious) food and location, just few meters from beautiful Gitana beach (see pictures). They also organised all the logistics for us - boat from Sierpe, pick-up at the dock in Drake Bay, tour to NP Corcovado (with complete American breakfast at 5 AM before the departure) , taxi to the airport, … We felt really relaxed and had a great time.

No hot water.

Wifi was spotty at times. But that’s to be expected. The hotel is an outside of town (10 minute taxi ride) but totally worth it in my opinion. The town didn’t do much for us anyway….

The beach is just wonderful. Very long and great for walking and swimming with outrageous sunsets. Completely deserted. Loved it. We ate at the restaurant most days which was good. Lots of vegetarian options and good service. Edith and Jonathan helped us with taxis and tour scheduling. We love to hike and the Drake Bay trail was epic. We stayed 5 nights. Great ending to a 4 week trip!

It was hard to get answers before arriving. My room did not have a warm shower (not a big problem but still). It was not too reliable if or when you will have somene picking you up after the tours (as Gitana is located a bit away from the city and main locations that the tours end).

Lovely atmosphere, lovely garden. Restaurant has really good food. As they are also tour operators then you can many of the Drake bay's activities organized by them. It is possible to have breakfast from 5AM which is perfect for having the tours that start very early. Beach almost in front of the hotel and also, it is almost like a private beach, I did not see too many people. Oh, and I loved that one guy who is also a tour guide was just casually practicing guitar every evening. :)

Nothing

Beautiful location. Jonathan was super helpful with organizing tours and transportation, especially to the property from the airport. We were on a family trip and our kids are older so it was great that we could have this vacation together and there were so many great things to see and do in the immediate area without the stress or feel of a very touristy area.

You have to consider that the hotel is a little bit far away from Agujitas (45min by foot) and it's very complicated to get a taxi in the evening.

The hotel was close to the beach. The personal was nice and it felt very familiar. The tours we booked where amazing and we where always picked up and brought back to the hotel. Even the ferry back to Sierpe picked us up directly from the beach at the hotel.

Just that I had to leave because my time in Drake Bay was over. I didn't particularly like that the power was out when I got there and then came back and went out again that night, but it had nothing to do with the hotel. The entire area has no power because a tree can't down on power lines in a storm and when the power was restored, shortly after there was a car accident where a car hit a power line pole and took it out again. These are just things you deal with, but again, it had nothing to do with the hotel. They Even talked into their backup power to have done lights on.

Jonathan and Edith were fantastic! The hotel is clean, comfortable and responsibility priced. The food was excellent and being able to work with them to secure by boat and transport needs was very helpful. One of my tours cancelled sorry noticed and Jonathan was able to get me booked with another tour company doing the same activity at the time I had my original tour scheduled which allowed me to keep all my other activities in place. Additionally, I asked about a night hike and due to the weather the main hike did not occur but he was able to secure a private tour for me which was a nice surprise. Edith is a good cook and I enjoyed her food while staying in Drake Bay. She also coordinated for my laundry to be washed and when my bag wasn't returned she followed up the next day to ensure it was returned. She pointed out every sunset so I didn't miss seeing them and they are beautiful from sitting in the dining area that faces out towards the water (so long as you don't have your back to that side). There is a beautiful garden that welcomes you everytime you step outside of your room and they have wonderful dogs and a cat to keep you company. I was sad I had to leave because it was so comfortable and the energy was very soothing, but that is how vacations work, at some point we pack up and leave. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommended this hotel to others.

Pretty far from the nearby town of Drake Bay. About a 45 minute walk to get supplies.

Has a very private beach good for swimming at low tide. Our room was very clean. Many tours offered. Owner Jonathan was very generous, and also upgraded us to a more private room at no extra charge :)

The distance to the town without a car might be difficult sometimes. We walked a few times and it was around 45m, close to 3 km and a bit hilly at times. But perfectly doable! However, you can start most tours at the beach just across the street or get a lift from the owner who brought us to the start destination.

Peacefull location away from the town. Basic but clean rooms. Friendly staff and some lovely dogs as well. Close to a quiet beach.

Amazing views of the jungle and beach from our family cabin which is located a bit higher up than the normal rooms/cabins. Very friendly hosts! Great tours and absolutely amazing food. Stayed 5 nights with our 2-year old daughter and really enjoyed every moment!

It’s a rainforest. There will be some bugs but they kept the place very clean and saw them clean often

Great location right next to the beach with lots of scarlet macaws, tours were very nice, Johnathan was very helpful whenever we needed a taxi but for the most part we walked unless it was part a of a tour with the hotel
