My whole family loved our stay at Hotel Margarita in August 2024. The area of Drake Bay was pretty, but it is very rustic (dirt roads, limited dining, restaurants are open-air with no A/C, etc). However, Hotel Margarita definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Room #1 (Luxury Double Room with 1 King, 1 Queen, & 1 Twin bed). The room was updated and the A/C worked great. We were pleasantly surprised to see lots of small toucans right outside our room on multiple occasions during the daytime. We also saw scarlet macaws flying from a distance. The hotel staff were very friendly, and they even came to knock on our door once to let us know that some larger toucans were right outside as well (the kind from the Fruit Loops box). The breakfast was $9/person, but the food was very good and it included such things as fresh fruit, pancakes or an omelette, coffee, and orange juice. The staff will make reservations or arrange tours if you want (they arranged a night tour for us). Overall we loved our three nights at Hotel Margarita.
