Hotel Jinetes de Osa

Wonderful and exceptional location. Helpful staff who work as a team. Good food and good service at the associated restaurant/grill & cocktail bar.

For 3 star, the style and provision of the accommodation was as expected, but price for 3* was high. The place trades at this 4* price due to such a wonderful location. Provision of everything you need and more, such as shower, fridge, air con (it is often oppressively hot and humid), towels, breakfast etc is there, but certainly not all at a luxury standard. We really enjoyed Jinetes de Osa due to the views and proximity to the beach, but it is rough around the edges compared to other well located places we have stayed in Costa Rica for less.

We had a a room with the most amazing view overlooking Drake Bay! Te restaurant is close to the beach that you can hear the sound of waves

Friendly staff, amazing views, good drinks at the bar

Could have done with a fridge in the room, it was quite dusty.

Best location, clean, nice staff

The vegan options were very okay but to be expected, a bit expensive

Jinetes de Osa has some amazing staff! Ashley can make anything work; she is amazingly good at her job. The excursions are well worth the expense, thanks to Rolando, who is very clearly better at what he does than any other guides we crossed. Definitely take the Corcovado Reserve trip with him. The included breakfast was exactly what we expected and wanted during our stay--not fancy, but closer to what people there might be eating.

There is a serious issue with the "superior" rooms. At the same price, rooms 1-4 (where we stayed) do not have private verandas, and share very thin walls, while the rooms up above are very private individual bungalows and spacious for the same price. The only disadvantage to staying on top is the 150 step climb up the stairway. There is also a small kitchen up top, but not even a way to heat water or coffee down below. Also, the on-site restaurant was a disappointment. The staff are very nice, but they try to present (not always successfully) fancier food when all we wanted was simple, local ingredients.

We had a great stay with very service minded staff. The location is perfect and the restaurant at the hotel serves really good food.

A small refrigerator in the room would be a nice addition.
