We had a good time at Edith and Jonnathan's. The food in their restaurant is excellent. They are very good and considerate hosts!

Casa Gitana was a typical hostel and a great place to meet fellow travelers. Overall our stay was good because of the people we met. We came as a group of four and were assigned two rooms. Half our group had a large room with two beds, a private bathroom, and a private outdoor area. The other half had a room the size of a closet with a bed as hard as rock. (Don't book room 5 if you have a choice). There was no air conditioning, but that is to be expected in this area for this price, but the fans in the room made it so sleep wasn't actually too bad, as it cools off a little at night. The property has a nice outdoor area with hammocks and a large common area at the restaurant. The breakfast included is pretty standard, eggs and fruit or French toast and fruit, but it didn't really fill us up. You can purchase breakfast for more. The property is pretty far from the main town, about an hour, and there is no beach access, despite what is advertised. You can see the ocean, it's on the opposite side of the street with no public access. Our main issue was our communication with our host. Nine days prior to our booking we asked to schedule a Corcovado tour, (the only reason we came to Drake Bay) only to find out that she had never booked it. With the tour supposed to be the next day, every single tour group was full (they book in advance). Annoyed, we went on a walk and found a hotel down the street that gave us information on tours and were fortunate enough to gain a recommendation to another tour called Tapir Walking Tour. We booked our tour and returned to our hostel only to find that now the owner had found a Corcovado tour for us because two other people at the hostel were able to join. We decided against going and chose the one we had just signed up for. On another note, the Tapir tour was absolutely incredible, and it ended up being practically private, with only two other people. The tour guide Gustavo was incredible. He created the tour himself and is a biologist with a wealth of knowledge. We learned that Corovado is incredibly oversaturated and feels more like a zoo, so in the end we were glad with the way things worked out. I would definitely recommend not booking your tour with the hostel, definitely book it with an outside company. I also left my rain jacket there and reached out to see if there was any way to get it shipped and never received a response. As was our experience, communication was poor. I still recommend it if you want a hostel experience where you will meet cool people, but don't depend on the host for much.

This is great place to stay in drake bay, Edith and Johnnattan’s place is comfortable and clean. The food is the best I have had in Costa Rica and the tours were very helpfully coordinated. Both host go out of their way to ensure you have a great time. The hammocks were relaxing. Do yourself a favor and get the steak!
