Nothing

A great hotel on the beach surrounded by beautiful jungle and incredible views of Drakes Bay. An excellent base to visit the National Park and Cano Island. Great food at the on-site Claudio's grill. So much wildlife <3

The steps to the room were many and would not be doable for some people. There needs to be a better refrigerator so one could have ice while in the room. Each room needs a fan as well.

The views are stupendous! The food was amazing, and the staff very friendly. I loved the guided tour to Corcovado with Rolando - the best guide of our 2 week trip to CR with 4 tour guides.

It’s located where the ocean hits rocks instead of the sandy beach just a little bit further. This was quite noisy at night, but it did not overpower the howler monkeys 😅.

Nice view, good breakfast, good restaurant, good airco, close to town (but far enough to be away from town noise), friendly staff. We were offered a free upgrade to bigger room. Tracy -aka the bug leady- starts her night tour here, very convenient, and the tour is definitely worth it!

You need to be in shape to stay here. The rooms are up on the bluff and the only way to get there is walking about 150 steps in the 95% humidity.

The view and the location were great, and the staff was very nice and helpful; they even got us last-minute bookings for a night tour in the rainforest and a horseback tour. The restaurant is outstanding--easily the best in the area.

No shampoo and conditioner and no coffee and tea in room

Perfect place for trails and wildlife with a beautiful view of the bay.

Fantastic staff, comfortable rooms, great location

The entry road was a bit rough and many steps to get to the room.

Simple rooms, but very clean and in a gorgeous setting right in the middle of nature. Staff was amazing and the restaurant was the best food we had the entire trip.

Great location, basic property

There are many stairs up to the cabins - that was ok with us but might not work well for anyone not in good shape or with knee problems.

The location is lovely and the staff were wonderful. Food in the attached restaurant is very good and we absolutely loved the breakfasts. We saw monkeys and many types of birds from our deck.

148 steps to get up to the room

Incredible views and good breakfast

For 3 star, the style and provision of the accommodation was as expected, but price for 3* was high. The place trades at this 4* price due to such a wonderful location. Provision of everything you need and more, such as shower, fridge, air con (it is often oppressively hot and humid), towels, breakfast etc is there, but certainly not all at a luxury standard. We really enjoyed Jinetes de Osa due to the views and proximity to the beach, but it is rough around the edges compared to other well located places we have stayed in Costa Rica for less.

Wonderful and exceptional location. Helpful staff who work as a team. Good food and good service at the associated restaurant/grill & cocktail bar.

Could have done with a fridge in the room, it was quite dusty.

Friendly staff, amazing views, good drinks at the bar

The vegan options were very okay but to be expected, a bit expensive

Best location, clean, nice staff

There is a serious issue with the "superior" rooms. At the same price, rooms 1-4 (where we stayed) do not have private verandas, and share very thin walls, while the rooms up above are very private individual bungalows and spacious for the same price. The only disadvantage to staying on top is the 150 step climb up the stairway. There is also a small kitchen up top, but not even a way to heat water or coffee down below. Also, the on-site restaurant was a disappointment. The staff are very nice, but they try to present (not always successfully) fancier food when all we wanted was simple, local ingredients.

Jinetes de Osa has some amazing staff! Ashley can make anything work; she is amazingly good at her job. The excursions are well worth the expense, thanks to Rolando, who is very clearly better at what he does than any other guides we crossed. Definitely take the Corcovado Reserve trip with him. The included breakfast was exactly what we expected and wanted during our stay--not fancy, but closer to what people there might be eating.

A small refrigerator in the room would be a nice addition.

We had a great stay with very service minded staff. The location is perfect and the restaurant at the hotel serves really good food.

Beach was a bit too rocky to be swimmable.

Good breakfast choices, staff was very nice and supportive.

There was quite a steep climb to the rooms, and you get very hot by the time you get to the top but you get used to it and it's worth the climb!

The hotel had lovely views - we were in a jungle view to start and then switched to a sea view - both were lovely.

WE loved the location of the hotel right on Drake Bay. Dake Bay is superb - fabulous walk staright from the hotel along the coast past forest and pristine beaches. Our guide from the hotel to visit Corcovado National Park by boat was superb. He was very knowegable and caring about the Osa Peninsula and its wildlife.We had a detached suite with great views of the sea and a good balcony. The downside was the dated furniture and decoration. Also 200 steps up from the beach which we managed but a struggle in the heat. The restaurante served great evening meals.

The room we had (number 9) could do with a bit of a makeover. The bathroom was not that inviting and the mosquito mesh around the windows had many holes, so we had to use bug repellent during the night.

The location is beautiful, the hotel has its own small beach right in front. The breakfast choice was great as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is for people who like being in nature away from the crowds. The walk to the centre is not challenging but you need a torch at night.

All the stairs!!!!

The view is breathtaking

Beautiful place at the end of Drake Bay! The transfer with the public boat was working great and we were getting help with the luggage right away. The room was spacious, directly above the hiking trail, it was very nice, from the seats in front we had a nice view under the palm trees onto the water. Breakfast was good, the tours into the national park were absolute Highlights of our trip. The dinner in the Restaurant was also great, also a good place for a smoothie after a tour. Staff was very helpful and friendly. There are also additional nice places to eat some meters away. We had some great days there.

The only thing is I wish I'd known I had to arrange transport from the airport in advance. Can't call a taxi! It worked out fine, though.

The hotel was located close to town but far enough away to feel private. The ocean view was stunning. The wild life was great! Room was clean. The restaurant Claudio's served delicious food. We really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed in March 2024

We loved everything, it was a steeper climb up than we anticipated but so worth it!

Our suite room 12 had an amazing view over the bay. The air con was great & the room/bathroom were spacious. We also liked the little drinks/kitchen area where we could get cold water/drinks & prepare fruit snacks.
