Carate Vacation Rentals

"Great stay. Wish it could have been longer. The ocean view and sound of the crashing waves was fabulous "

"Nice place to comeback for after long day hiking in the jungle"

"Was exactly what we needed for the circumstance. Inexpensive overnight spot to sleep, so as to be ready for snorkeling tour the next morning, along with a bonus view of the ocean. Staff super accommodating on holding on to our luggage after check out. Some unique notes: - Getting to the area def needs all-wheel drive - Meals aren't included, but can be purchased if ordered in advance - No front desk check-in/check-out (noted in the description), just need to communicate with the staff over the app or Whatsapp - Very flexible staff"

"We were upgraded to a very nice room overlooking the beach. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our stay included breakfast and dinner- excellent food. Drake Bay is a remote area so it was nice to have everything provided by the hotel. When we took a day tour to Corcovado National Park, the boat picked us up at the beach in front of the hotel. "

"Luna Lodge is a simply remarkable place to be and not just explore, but join, the jungle. There’s a sense of beautiful surrender found there, beginning with the trek to the lodge itself. I don’t realize what a special place I had booked until we arrived. I had a 4x4 and loved the adventure of crossing (small) rivers and rocks as we traversed the path to Luna’s remote location. The property is a little paradise. It overlooks pure jungle with all the animals that can be spotted at Corcovado. The tours and guides are amazing - l loved how passionate and knowledgeable Mauro was about the wildlife, and it’s so nice to depart directly from the lodge. Our sleeping quarters was comfortable as well - we chose a tent which was a wonderful way to be in touch with nature. We were there in March, and the fan provided plenty of air. After a day exploring, it was nice to sleep under the stars in a natural setting. You can tell that Luna was built with a lot of love. Everything is thought out and beautiful, including the food. This was the best part of our trip and we cannot wait to return. "

"What a special place! We arrived in the surf, to be greeted by Dylan and his staff who grabbed our bags and suitcases and brought them up to the room. We then had pineapple smoothies and talked to Dylan, who I produced us to the routines there. You tell them when you want to eat. Eat! It's more like floating in gourmet heaven. The food is out of this world!!! The room was many steps up a rocky staircase, do prepare for earning your heavenly food. The view from the room takes your breath away. Do download the free app Merlin that will help you identify the many birds you will hear and see there. The shower, equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, has two shower heads for a nice couples shower. There is no air conditioning, but the screened "ceiling" openings (really, up on the wall) let in enough air to cool you down sufficiently. We had to turn down the ceiling fan speed in a heat wave to keep from shivering. We will definitely return here again! "

"Hotel Margarita had an amazing vibe, it was blending with nature perfectly. Our room has a nice glass wall facing trees and forests. Every morning a very handsome woodpecker would come and curiously check us, it was really unique. The pool was nice, the staff was super polite and helpful, breakfast was nice and quite filling (fruits, coffee and juice on top of your main option.). The only main disadvantage was the cleanness of our room. We found hair in the pillows and bed sheets which made us believe it is from the previous people. We asked the first day to have our linens changed, and we found again hair over them. This made us a bit sceptical of the cleanness, plus the bathroom mirror had dorst stamps when we entered. The bathroom also had what looked like a water leakage from the bathtub to the floor, which was giving an unpleasant odour in the bathroom in the morning. If these things were fixed, it would really be 5/5, a real paradise experience!!"

"Alas, this property has seen better days. It’s not horrible, or even unbearable, but bare bones. AC was adequate for sleep but not for siesta. Beach is not inviting. Nearby bars were ok for food. We left a day early. "
