I was once told by a Tica friend that there was a place in Costa Rica that could only be accessed is by boat and if you are lucky some days by car through a rocky dirt road. She said that there is a wonderful hotel right where the beach becomes a rain forest in that place.
At first I wasn’t very excited about it but after making some research I had an incredible urge for visiting that place. The place I’m talking about is called Drake Bay in the Costa Rican Osa Peninsula. And the hotel is called Jinetes de osa.
The place is very inviting wherever you look you will get amazing ocean views, beautiful forest views, you might even see some monkeys. At least I did! But what I was truly thrilled with was the fact that the next morning the howls oh howler monkeys woke me up.
I went to their small restaurant that morning and in my opinion the food was great and the portions had a good size.
Drake Bay is one of Costa Rican’s most isolated and tranquil places where any nature lover would feel at home.
Drake Bay is one of Costa Rican’s most isolated and tranquil places where any nature lover would feel at home. It is also close enough to the rest of the world and Corcovado National Park which is said to be the most biologically intense place on earth. Plus you can stay in this wonderful hotel. What else could a traveler want?
