Corcovado National Park

Rodrigo de Freitas's Lake, with dois irmaos at background

The Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica displays a large variety of animals and is close the wonderful Drake's Bay. We spotted the routine of this pelican (flight round, dive, eat) and after about 1h of several burst shots, got this wonderful pic right before the splash. #lifeatexpedia

Corcovado National Park, a short boat ride from Drake Bay, is another amazing opportunity to sample Costa Rica's diverse and unique rainforests, just watch out for the snakes, sharks and crocodiles! #LifeAtExpedia

9/10 Wonderful! (99 reviews)

Everything was perfect. The room had everything we expected. Having a washer and dryer was a super bonus. (If they sold individual cleaning pods on site that would have been convenient but we just purchased a small amount of laundry soap at the local Maxi Pali which was just down the road from our location.) Breakfast daily included was amazing. Fantastic food! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Jaco.

8/10 Very Good! (369 reviews)

Loved the balcony as we sat out often. Music started too early in the morning. Not enough staff so to order food off the menu and ordering drinks took forever. Dirty glasses left on the bar counter during meal service. A pain to run a tab as they don’t ask you when checking in. So you have to give them your credit card at reception and first time at bar. Sitting on loungers you never saw a server asking you if you want something. Inefficiencies in dining room as tables never cleaned off after first sitting.
