Hotel Gitana Corcovado, Y Tour Operador Drake Bay

Review by hotel critic

My recent stay at Hotel Gitana Corcovado was nothing short of extraordinary, perfectly blending comfort and nature in one of the most biologically rich areas of Costa Rica. Nestled just 200 meters from the beach, the hotel offers breathtaking sunset views that truly enhance the experience—ideal for an archaeologist's evening reflection after a day of exploring the wonders of Corcovado National Park. The room was a serene sanctuary equipped with both air conditioning and a mini-fridge, allowing for a perfect retreat after a long day of adventure. The family-run nature of the hotel was evident in the warm and attentive staff, who went above and beyond—keeping the kitchen open late to accommodate our arrival, which was a genuine act of hospitality for me and my travel companions. What truly sets Hotel Gitana apart is their well-organized tours, which highlight the unique ecological diversity of the area. Our excursions, led by knowledgeable guides, included encounters with scarlet macaws and toucans, enriching our understanding of this remarkable ecosystem. I wholeheartedly recommend indulging in the culinary delights at their restaurant as well—each dish, from the pesto chicken to the mahi-mahi with garlic sauce, was a delightful blend of home cooking with an American flair. In essence, Hotel Gitana Corcovado provided not just a stay but a meaningful connection to the land, making it an enchanting destination for anyone looking to immerse themselves in both nature and culture.
