Nothing- we loved it!

Amazing location with beautiful views. Comfortable cabinas which are spotlessly clean. The staff are so friendly and Accommodating. A very laid back, comfortable vibe. Definitely highly recommend a stay at pirate cove.

Everything was perfect for us. Nothing to dislike.

We received a lovely welcome when we arrived. Our room was beautiful and had a fabulous view. Everything was immaculately clean and tidy. The location was perfect for us. As it is a little bit out from the town we had our dinners here. The food was lovely and great value. We also found that having a set menu worked really well for us and the staff were more than happy to cater for special dietary needs. All in all a perfect stay! Highly recommended!

Being 1 mile out of town is a bit restrictive to walk in

Lovely clean room with wonderful view and so many birds in the surrounding gardens Great to spend time around the pool

There was no hot water in the shower. It was a hike to get into the village area of Drake Bay.

It was clean, the staff was friendly, the room was private, and the hammocks on our private porch were so relaxing. Happy hour at the pool was a great way to finish a busy day of hiking. The pool was always fairly quiet because there are not a ton of rooms at the location.

The road to get to Drake's Bay is very rough as in the description to the hotel you need a 4x4 car to make that journey. And make sure to have enough gas as we didn't see any stations. We understand it is a remote location so prices will be higher but we found it a bit high for what you get.

The view from the balcony is very nice and the hammock is a nice addition. Many birds like scarlet macaws were flying by. The location is quiet just down the road from the main town. There is a public path on the beach which is nice to walk through the jungle.

We received a welcome drink right after we arrived. There was a station of drinks, coffee, tea and nibbles in the main area all day. The room was spacious and comfortable. From the restaurant one had a beautiful view of the ocean.

Absolutely nothing to dislike!

I stayed here for 4 nights with my husband and 9 year old son. The front desk arranged a pick up by boat for our Corcovado park jungle tour on the beach right in front of 🏴‍☠️’s Cove. The staff was excellent from the beginning to the end of our stay. My son is still talking about how much he misses Pirate’s Cove and especially Francisco one of the very special employees that made us feel like family. During our stay we met a few other wonderful families and became fast friends! The dive/snorkel team are excellent I highly recommend booking a tour with them. Our snorkel adventure began and ended with heavy rain but we had an incredible time nonetheless, we saw humpback whales, mother and baby, white tip reef sharks, turtles, sting rays and many fish. This area of Costa Rica is incredibly beautiful including our plane ride in which was an adventure in itself. Even the taxi ride to and from the airport was a wonderful adventure from having to change vehicles and walk across a bridge that was under repair to driving across a river in a Land Cruiser. We enjoyed our relaxing time at the pool everyday while iguanas 🦎chilled in the tree above and macaws flew overhead 🦜. We pretty much had our own beach to explore and swim. Our cabin was #7, it had beautiful deck with 2 hammocks to relax and take in the beautiful river/ ocean view. From the dive team and the wonderful crew that work hard to make the delicious meals (they even catered to my picky son), to the reception staff and of course Francisco, we say a huge thank you for making the beginning of our Costa Rica adventure so incredible! We will be back here for sure hopefully in the near future! Pura Vida 🤙❤️ 🇨🇷

Though the place is nice, I did find the price clearly too expensive (with tax&service fee 135$). Lunch and dinner is available only by pre-order and on a certain hour, for an extra cost. We had informed food diat in advance and though it was discussed in the morning, the dinner still had the vegetables that we couldn't eat. Portions were small, cost 20$ per person. There was a lot of hassle with food plates in several tables and the kitchen staff mainly did not speak or understand English. The location is beautiful but restaurants are either 30mins walk or a 10$ taxi ride away.

Breakfast was simple but nice. Coffee and tea was available all day long which was nice. Nelson at the reception was awesome with friendliness and customer care.
