Jinetes de Osa Hotel in Drake Bay Costa Rica is a place nature lovers should visit to promote sustainable tourism (where fans replace AC). This hotel in Drake Bay, is located on a remote beach town in Costa Rica named after the pirate Sir Francis Drake on the north western coast of Osa Peninsula. Just getting there is a journey in itself that will get your feet wet from the boat ride and from crossing a shallow river in your path. To get to the hotel you must take an easy walk along the beach but the hotel staff will be there to help you with your bags. You will get your first taste of Drake Bay when you notice your walk is enhanced by scarlet macaws and other grand diverse wildlife.
Breakfast lunch and dinner at Jinetes de Osa Restaurant are included in the price of your hotel room. Breakfast is served early each morning with fresh coffee to the side of warm home baked bread right out of the oven. Lunch, dinner and the snacks in between have good ratings among guests who can't get enough of the rainbow of fruits and the freshest of fish.
After howler monkeys wake you at Jinetes de Osa you start your day watching the sunrise over Costa Rica jungle from the comfort of your room porch. Drake Bay is 12 miles away from Corcovado Park, where the last lowland pacific-coast tropical rain forests are making their stand. Jinetes de Osa staff can arrange for nature tours like zip lines, scuba diving, dolphin and whale watching, sports fishing, sea kayaking, waterfall hikes and more. Del Caño Island, just off the coast of Drake Bay, is world famous for scuba diving and snorkeling where you will happen upon great submerged marine life. The island, which was used in ancient times as an Indian cemetery, does not have as much diversity in life as main land Costa Rica but its rich marine life makes up for it.
