Cano Island Biological Reserve hotel guide. Independent hotel in Cano Island Biological Reserve, Drake Bay

"Could see the ocean but room got very hot due to the big window to see the sea and beach and no Aircon to cool just a fan."

"Great property in a lovely area. The perfect place to enjoy the Drake area. Very good tours. Brilliant staff. Clientele all very chilled out and low key. "

"Host cancelled stay, they were very kind and found an alternate place for us day of "

"We had a great stay! The team is amazing, the food was delicious, and the view from the room was incredible. The hotel location was close to the beach and nearby restaurants. Be prepared for steps though as it's a bit of a walk up to the rooms."

"Did not see directions and instructions as they were provided the afternoon of arrival and due to slow internet and electricity going out we did not know where to go or what breakfast location was. When we arrived at hotel we were told hostess was at our unit waiting for us but she was not. Bathroom amenities were minimal but adequate. To access bathroom you have to leave main area, go outside and enter another door, going up and down stairs from bedrooms. Not great for wet feet and middle of the night bathroom visits. Electricity was out in the entire town when we arrived so A/C wasn’t working. The windows do not have screens in them so we couldn’t leave windows open for air circulation. It appears that it is not unusual for electricity to go out so being able to open windows would be better. Also the kitchen is not sealed closed from outdoors and we had critters get in our trash in the middle of the night. Not a great design for kitchen. On the plus side the beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and once we figured out logistics location was good. "

"Room was clean although the bed was fairly soft & a little uneven. Unfortunately we were right by the pool with the pool towels (clean & a dirty basket) was by our door so people were often right by our door. Once we returned and a lady was holding a towel up so the other woman could change in front of our door! Talking from those at the pool went right through the window glass. There was supposed to be a 10 pm quiet hour but our neighbors didn’t pay attention to it. On the good side, the staff was very helpful with setting up taxis & tours as well as general info. Breakfast was adequate with a choice of 5 meals."

"Super hôtel propre et confo"

"We had a great 6 nights at Casa Gitana, we had a lovely room with a shady private patio, our room was cleaned everyday and the staff were great. Breakfast was included and there is a restaurant for lunch and dinner. It's a short walk to the beach and many tours can be organised at the hotel. Thanks. "

"There were so many monkeys every day. We saw toucans Maciel’s, spider monkeys and capuchins. There are so many trees and flowers that makes this place so beautiful. The staff were so lovely and helped us organize tours and taxis while we were there. The beach is right in front and this area of Costa Rica is so beautiful. "
