Amazing stay

My partner and I had a wonderful time here, and would most definitely recommend staying!! The property is so beautiful; super comfortable, clean, and well located- tucked in the jungle just a short walk from a stunning beach. Thank you so much to our host Cristián and his lovely wife Virginia, who made our stay so special. So friendly, welcoming and kind, incredibly helpful, and amazing food ❤️ I wish we had stayed longer. Muchas gracias!!

Perfect cabin surrounded by nature and secluded beaches with amazing hosts!

We absolutely loved our stay here. Christian and his family are amazing hosts and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The location is incredible, a short walk from a very secluded beach and the hiking trail. The cabins are surrounded by nature- Christian helped us spot toucans, white faced monkeys and trogons right on our doorstep! Christians wife makes delicious food- we ate breakfast lunch and dinner some days and relaxed in the hammocks enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Christian was also extremely helpful with organising transport for our Corcovado trip- the boat picked us up on a beach near the Cabins and we enjoyed a full breakfast beforehand. Thankyou so much to Christian and your family for the incredible hospitality and making our holiday so great 🙏😄

A peaceful and welcoming stay with exceptional hospitality, great comfort, and unforgettable nature

Christiaan was the perfect host during our stay at Cabins Yafeth Osa in Drake Bay. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a perfectly functioning air conditioning system that provided much-needed relief after a day of exploring. The food was not only delicious but also carefully prepared – a true culinary delight! The location is a serene oasis, ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle. A standout feature was the opportunity to spot wild birds, which are abundant in the area. The sounds and sights of nature here are absolutely breathtaking. What made this place even more special was Christiaan’s help in booking all our tours. Thanks to him, we had exceptional guides who made our excursions unforgettable. Their knowledge and passion brought the stunning surroundings to life, creating experiences we’ll cherish forever. This is a must-visit for anyone seeking a perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, nature, and flawless organization!

We will come again 🙂

Christian and his family are so welcoming! We were picked up from Cristian after our travel plans changed. We were accommodated in a lovely room with an extrodenary artwork on the wall, we had a delicious breakfast cocked every morning and had the option of dinner every night. Recommended! Prepared with so much love from Cristians wife ❤️ Cristian also helped us to organise trips to the National park and snorkelling, as well as teaching us about the local wildlife. Wonderful remote place, build with so much love and we felt like family!

A paradise spot hosted by a lovely local family

Absolutely amazing place in the middle of the jungle with animals all around you. Very clean, very confortable, air conditioning in the cabin. Cristian and his family are so welcoming and kind, they will do their best to make your stay an Unforgettable experience.They cooked for us delicious meals and organized our excursions to Corcovado National Park. Also advised us how to spend our free time and showed us many animals, it was such a pleasure to spend some days with them. This place is an untouched paradise, a beautiful beach is just 1 min. walk, the cabins are located on the beach but the abundant vegetation doesn’t allow to see the sea from the cabins. The route to the cabins itself is an adventure, 4x4 car is a must. The three days we spent there were The best of our visit to the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. We will be back there for another holidays for sure.

The cabins are owned by a very friendly family. They did everything to make our stay comfortable. The cabins are surrounded by jungle, where you can see birds, monkeys etc (we saw a toucan). We also loved the food that they prepared for us. There is a stunning beach only 100 meter from the cabins and there are many more stunning and secluded beaches if you follow the beautifull walking trail from the beach. We also booked a tour to Corcovado at the cabins.

We loved our stay. The owner cristian and his wife were amazing people. So helpful. Loved the accomodation. Was basic but very comfortable. Good air-conditioning for when it was needed. The location was so relaxing. So much wild life around. Is about a 40 to 60 minute walk to drake town depending on how fast you walk. The walk itself is very beautiful. Highly recommend staying here. They serve tasty food and drinks as well.

Cristian & his wife will take good care of you! An authentic jungle experience with warm water & Wi-Fi

Cristian went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. For the price we paid, we had the perfect stay. The location is amazing, very close to a beautiful beach. We did not need a grocery store because Cristian’s wife cooked and provided us with all meals (for a reasonable additional price). It was authentic local cuisine which we appreciated very much. The room had AC and a fan, both worked well! We had warm water. Cristian was always available by WhatsApp messaging and helped us arrange tours as well. We would definitely come back to this place!

A great location and very helpful young hosts

A budget location where a young local couple provide you with everything that you need to enjoy a great location. Full board, air conditioning, hummingbirds and toucans just beyond the room’s porch, immediate access to a beach that may well be something special, as within an hour of arriving and taking our first stroll, we were welcomed by a large humpback whale – beginning of April – that managed to swim past within about 100 metres of the shoreline. That normally costs a lot of money, here, it was free. If you are willing to forgo 5-star luxury, and wish to help a local family share in the tourism boom, this may well be the place for you.

Gem of Drake Bay

Absolutely fantastic host Cristian!!! Always ready to help, advice, fulfill your needs. Simple but very tasty breakfast and the best beach. It almost seems like its a private beach, there was nobody apart from me and my wife most of the times. Loads of monkeys, lizzards and other animals in walking distance

Great stay in tranquil and beautiful surroundings

I had a wonderful stay at Cabinas Yafeth Osa. Even before I arrived, Cristian was great at communicating with me, answering all my questions and was really helpful. The family are very welcoming, kind and great hosts. They met me at the beach after I got off the boat, helped with luggage and took time to point out animals and wildlife on the short walk to the cabins, in fact they did this often ensuring I never missed seeing the wildlife! I enjoyed talking to Yafeth about animals and practising my Spanish :) The room was big and immaculately clean, decorated with fresh flowers and with the hottest shower I have had in Costa Rica. I am vegan/vegetarian and Cristian and Virginia accommodated my diet and the food was very good, and big portions! The area is quiet, with just a few other local people living nearby, which was very much a welcomed change after visiting some busier, touristy areas. There are so many beautiful, deserted beaches to explore, and Cristian gave me recommendations of beaches to visit for snorkelling. Walking on the Drake bay hiking trail was a highlight, and to be surrounded by amazing nature and wildlife. Cristian arrange excursions for me too which were great. Definitely recommend staying here and I would love to visit again.
