Drake Bay Getaway Hotel

Five stilted cabins on an Osa Peninsula hillside, each with a choice of ocean view, rainforest view, or the nerve to ask for both. This small eco-resort takes its environmental commitments seriously enough that the rainwater gets recaptured for the gardens, and the mahi-mahi comes from local fishermen rather than a distributor. Scarlet macaws are a plausible dining companion at the open-air restaurant, which runs on your schedule, not a fixed seating time.
