My wife and I, along with another couple, enjoyed five perfect days at this truly wonderful resort close to Drake Bay. Our hosts, Helen and Steve, did everything possible to enhance our visit. They booked our flights from San Jose and all of our tours, and provided local transportation. The resort consists of several spacious air conditioned cottages, and along with the grounds and the views, are absolutely beautiful. We ate in the restaurant two or three times a day, and every meal was outstanding. The warm hospitality provided by the owners is the icing on the cake. The bird watching on the grounds is stellar, and we also enjoyed visits from a tapir, monkeys and coati. I can’t praise Greenleaf too highly—it is an amazing, family run resort in the heart of the rainforest. We would love to return!

I’ve just read a few of the reviews for Greenleaf and can’t believe that one person gave it less than excellent. We’ve been here for five nights and have THREE MORE to look forward to. 🥳🥰. We feel so very privileged to be here. I am celebrating my 70th birthday this year and we have been extremely fortunate to have had many holidays in beautiful accommodation in the past in Europe, Africa, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand and North America. But, Greenleaf surpasses them all. As the other reviews say, everything is of five star quality, and it’s all down to Hellen, Steve and their wonderful staff. I agree with one reviewer who said, if you are staying in different places in Costa Rica, make sure Greenleaf is your final one. It could not be bettered I’m sure.

What can we say, all the reviews were right! Hellen and Steven, along with their son Vincent, were amazing. The service was incredible, the meals outstanding, the rooms immaculate. You won’t be disappointed, we highly recommend this resort. Hellen gives it a personal touch in all aspects, from the meals to tours. You won’t find a cleaner resort anywhere! Thanks so much. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great, spotlessly clean bungalows with a large deck that allows fabulous views across the rainforest and bay. Lots of animals on the grounds as well, we saw a tapir, spider monkeys, capucine monkeys, coati and many birds just from our bungalow. Amazing food as well, all fresh, very tasty and presented with lots of attention. But what really makes this perfect is the hospitality of Hellen, Steven and Vincent who really made sure we felt welcome and took care of us all the time.

We had the most wonderful stay at Drake Bay Greenleaf. Hellen, Steven and Vincent are such friendly, open hosts who treat you like family. The rooms are large, light and peaceful, each with a long balcony and surrounded with trees and flowers which are full of beautiful birds, butterflies and insects. All have a perfect, picture-postcard view of the Pacific and Drake Bay. The food is exceptional - tasty, varied and so fresh. Also, the passionfruit margaritas are delightful! Hellen is super-organised and made sure we were fed and prepared for our tours, OK afterwards and sorted all requests, laundry and any questions with care, humour and efficiency. Steven took us to our tours and collected us and we chatted about everything. The trail on the property gives you the opportunity to see more birds and passing monkeys - we were lucky to see spider monkeys and enjoyed seeing the resident baby owl and ‘Lulu’ the visiting tapir. We so enjoyed our stay and will return!

It’s hard to put into words how absolutely stunning this place is! It’s nestled in the perfect spot in Drake Bay to feel a million miles away from everything yet close enough to the bay to take tours and explore. What makes this place so magical is not only the lush green rainforest setting where the lodges blend seamlessly into the surroundings but also the owners. Hellen, Steven and their son Vinny are truly some of the loveliest people we have had the pleasure to meet. They took care of our every need and treated us like one of the family, in fact I have no doubt we will keep in touch until we return….and we definitely will! The lodges are immaculately clean and kitted out for your every need. The showers are huge and the beds so comfortable. There are windows everywhere so you feel completely immersed in nature and never miss a sighting of an animal. The air conditioning was so efficient and the laundry service was brilliant as we always came back from tours sweaty and dirty. The food is on another level! Fresh, healthy and presented like your in Michelin star restaurant. Hellen soon got to know what my 10 year old son liked and made him feel special with little treats like cookies and hot chocolate. The tours organised by Hellen were truly the best! We had the loveliest guide to the Corcovado and Sierpe Mangoves. He had gotten to know us well and insured we had lots photo opportunities of the animals on our ‘list’, thank you Jose! Hellen looked after me when I came back from hiking with swollen feet due to the heat, she made a salt foot sock which was amazing. My son and Vinny had the best time together, it was great seeing them interact and play happily with the resident owl who was absolutely adorable. I felt like I’d known Hellen for years, she is really a salt of the earth kind of person! Steven is so funny and we always looked forward to him taking us to places we need to go. We have been lucky to travel to many countries but this really one of the most amazing places we have ever been! Meeting the tapir, owl and seeing the monkeys and coati’s up close was a highlight for us and we will have these memories forever. This truly is paradise. Thank you ❤️

The Drake Bay Greenleaf is the absolute best place we stayed in Costa Rica with the most attentive hospitality making our entire stay a welcoming, exciting, educational and pleasant travel experience. From arranging transportation and tours to the splendid meals, we could not have imagined beforehand how great this would be. The locale has a fantastic view of Drake Bay, a local owl, named "Al", plus a squadron of wildlife, most with names, and unbelievably beautiful cottages with every possible accommodation in place to make our stay exquisite. We will love to return to the Greenleaf next time we are in Costa Rica, there is nothing better!

Drake Bay Greenleaf - 16 Feb, 2025 Beautiful, amazing getaway! Hellen and Stephen were warm and friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fabulous. The casitas are situated in the lush forest. The restaurant and Casitas are all situated closely, but you feel very private, with a beautiful view of the bay There is a trail into the woods, that does involve a number of stairs. But it was great for quick access into the woods, and to see things like the anteater and songbirds. We were fortunate to have a number of animal visitors, including atapir, a family of Coatimundi, and a baby owl, as well as macaws and toucans. Hellen is super organized and helps to coordinate all the tours and make sure that you’re well prepared. Stephen is a delight to talk with and is ready to chaufure into town or to the beach. The food was out of this world delicious. We loved the whole red snapper and plantains. Yummy cocktails too. They do an impeccable job of caretaking the place and cleaning the rooms, so it always feels beautiful. The Caño Island snorkeling was stunning. The tour company took good care of us and we even saw a white tip shark. We were thrilled that Hellen suggested a private guide for the Sirena tour because it got us away from the crowds. It’s important to remember that nothing‘s guaranteed and The guides do their best to see as much animal life as possible. we were fortunate to see an antique and boa constrictor, as well as lots of monkeys and coatimundi. Our trip to San Gerardo de Dota was better for Birding. This was great for macaws, toucans and the bigger animals. The trip to Sirena is a long hot walk so you need a lot of water. We found the main drake Bay beach and town to be a little grungy and unappealing.. But Pirates Cove, which is just another few minutes up the road, is gorgeous and we spent a lot of time there.
