Wonderful property. Staff picked us up at the beach after our wet landing boat ride from Sierpe. Room #11 was perfect for an couple with an lovely patio including a hammock overlooking the river and ocean. Breakfast included with lunch and dining to purchase, all food options were very beautiful presentation, delicious and reasonably priced. Property is well kept with beautiful landscape and steps to the beach. A mile w allow into town took 30minutes or front desk can call a local taxi for $10. You can also rent a ATV. Staff was all very friendly and made sure we were prepared for our tours. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Very nice stay for the night before our dive. The room was quiet and simply decorated but comfortable. There was no food or drinks on the property so we had to go out for dinner, but we found a very nice place just down the road. The drive in from San Jose was all they said it would be and more! What an adventure. I would recommend staying here as it was very convenient for the diving with Canos Divers.

Beautiful hotel
The hotel is beautiful with a nice pool, located about 20min walking from the boat port in a secluded area. People are helpful and nice. One thing I should mention is that in Hotels.com it is mention that rooms has an AC where in fact it only had ceiling fan.

Pirate Cove, CR
Had a wonderful time at Pirate Cove. Beautiful spot near the National Park and Cano Island with two long beaches to explore and lots of diving/snorkeling and swimming. Staff were fantastic - very friendly, and service was great from the chefs to the management. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Great view!
Everyone at Pirate Cove works extremely hard to make your stay the best it can be. If you survive the river crossing (or are smart and use a shuttle service), you find yourself in a beautiful cove, with Macaws overhead and lizards all around. They have free use of some brand new kayaks which is a really nice bonus. The snorkel tour is great, too!

Employees were super nice and very helpful. Food was very generous and delicious. The beach at the hotel is often empty and quite beautiful and easy to swim for adults and children. The excursions like the Night walk were excellent. Wonderful place, we will definately come back!

Perfect hotel on Drake Bay
All inclusive was a must of course since other restaurants would have been too far away to walk to. All the activities are organized by the hotel, and there is a lot to do. We chose snorkeling, a day tour in the park and a night tour. We saw dolphins and a sea snake from the boat. Snorkeling was great, we saw a lot of fish, and relaxed on the beach. Day tour was awesome too. We saw a lot of animals, and the second short walk to the waterfall after lunch on the beach was well worth it. Gabriel, our guide for both tours, was very nice. The night tour is something to do once in your life, it is an experience to remember, but very spooky with all these spiders and some snakes... The hotel organizes your transportation, boat or to the plane. Keep in mind it is a wet landing, so you have to walk in the water to get out of the boat, which gives you the "Pura Vida" feeling as soon as you arrive. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
