Playa Ganadito Ecolodge

Fun lodge right in front of the beach. It was an experience sleeping without windows as well, as the lodge doesn’t have any. The hosts are very kind and assist you anytime during your stay. Breakfast is included and is honestly delicious! Room facilities are great!

No hot water and a rather long drive to the village of Drake Bay.

The accommodation is located at a unique place, totally calm and aside of the crowds! The drive is adventurous, quite bumpy and the place is not so easy to find, but it was worth it (and in dry season the crossing of the river was not an issue). You can hear the sounds of the jungle and have the sea one minute away. The hosts were really friendly and served breakfast at any time requested (even at 5:30 in the morning).

The room is quite small, especially the bed (approx. 140cm for two people). It was really hot/humid in the room, with neither an air condition (which we knew didn’t exist) nor a fan it was hard to get a restful sleep. Bathroom could have been cleaned better (floor smudgy, shower drain clogged with hairs).

Amazing private place, with the beach some meters away. Beautiful garden! We could listen the waves at night and the birds in the morning, it was an authentic experience in Costa Rica. The staff was very nice with us. Nice open space kitchen.

It is far from drake bay so it would be better to have a car. We had to go by taxi (30 dollars from drake bay center, each journey). We went without a car and couldn’t go to any restaurant. However, the staff were really nice and took me to the nearest supermarket to buy food so that we could cook.

Best place ever, so remote. Song of ocean, monkeys, aras on place, natural klima from the ocean (wind). We had a Trip to the park (50min drive) Aaron wake up at 4.30, made us a breakfast (he even drive in front of us, so we. Didnt have to look where to go) .. We were with 3 year old. And they let us use the kitchen, and fridge. Shop wos 10min drive away. I would like to stay longer. Thank you so mutch!

The cabins are simple but clean and appointed very nicely. The breakfast was an abundance of fresh fruits, eggs, and bread. The place is family owned and I can see the hard work that they have put into the cabins. They are located very close to the beach so you will hear the ocean waves as you sleep. They are a short drive away from Drake's Bay but to not stay in tourist central is so worth it.

This was a great experience. I don't have any complaints.

This place is stunning. It's so remote that you have the entire beach to yourself. The huts are beautiful and well looked after. The hosts always ask what time you would like your breakfast and a lovely breakfast was always made on time, even at 5am when needed! Highly recommended this hotel if you are looking for peace and quiet, with a beautiful beach to watch Parrots and Halloween crabs for. 10/10
