Enjoyed our stay. We were given a new room, which was impeccably clean. Staff was very communicative, helpful. We had no hot water the first night, although they tried to fix it; so we expected some kind of gesture as a result. It was all fixed the next day, thankfully. Very good for kids with a bunk bed.

Great place to stay
Very fun stay at Cotingas, despite the tours we had booked being cancelled because of excessive rain. Needless to say, that was no fault of the hotel but it did mean we spent more time there and realized what a great place it was. Excellent location right next to the town but still quiet; lots of animal sightings, a great view--albeit mostly of rain on this occasion--and very good service from the excellent staff. We want to go back to Drake Bay and do what we could not this time--and when we do we will certainly stay here again.

The views
Most stunning views ever. Hotel is right off the beach but with steep stairs up. We were met by staff right off the boat. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good as well. Only minor point is that the bed and bedding could do with an upgrade. Blankets could been fresher and mattress cleaner and more comfortable. Overall an amazing stay, would highly recommend going here as the views and welcoming atmosphere were phenomenal.

Great stay
We had a one room cottage with two beds for us and our eight year old. Yes, there are steps, but Abel and his team help with the bags and you don’t get the great ocean view without going up a bit! Lovely stay, thank you - room had a fridge, hot water, brilliant view and comfortable beds. Breakfast was lovely too. Thank you Abel!

Cotingas was an excellent stay, when you get off the boat someone will meet you. Abel helped up check in and gave us all the information on our tours. We did the snorkeling at cano island and jungle night walk. Both were amazing. But I LOVED the night walk. The guides for the jungle night walk were very informative, friendly, and you could tell they are really passionate about the land.

This place is not for the faint of heart or even the mildly out of shape person. I go to the gym five days a week and my legs still were struggling with the stairs to get to our place. Unless you are diving or hiking there really is absolutely nothing to do here. It seems to be just a hub for excursions. The room itself was fantastic with amazing ocean views however the amount of dirt bikes that the locals have cancelled out any bit of serenity offered.

This is a wonderful place with a wonderful room and amazing view in the middle of the town. However it is important to know that the only way to access the hotel is through a steep staircase with about 50 steps.

This was actually very disappointing especially for the price. The proximity to the beach was nice but this is essentially a tree fort with the hammock being the only thing that actually functions correctly.

Mega Ausblick
Wir hatten zu dritt die Villa mit eigener Dachterrasse und Küche. Sie Aussicht war super, der Service auch. Insbesondere der Zimmerservice war toll, denn die Frau hat jedes Mal Handtuchtiere gefaltet, was unserer Tochter, die auf dem Sofa schlafen durfte, sehr gefallen hat. Leider hatte der Whirlpool kein warmes Wasser und es lief sehr langsam und schmutziges Wasser ein. Die Herd bestand nur aus einer Kochplatte.
