WHAT THE GUIDEBOOKS SAY Frommer's Costa Rica 2006 - This luxurious hillside lodge has long been a popular choice for serious sportfishers. Situated high on a hill overlooking Drake Bay and the Pacific Ocean, the Aguila de Osa Inn offers large, attractively decorated rooms (with hardwood or tile floors, ceiling fans, large bathrooms, and excellent views), located a vigorous hike up a steep hillside. This could pose a problem for those with mobility or health issues because the restaurant, reception, and docks are located far below, around river level. There's a bar built atop some rocks on the bank of the Rio Agujitas, and the open-air dining room is set amidst lush foliage with a partial view of the bay through the leaves. Meals are simply prepared but tasty and filling, and the kitchen leaves a fresh Thermos of coffee outside each room every morning.
Because most folks are out for the day fishing or taking one of the organized tours, lunches are often picnic affairs on the boat, in Corcovado National Park, or on Cano Island. Dinners feature fresh fish, meat, and chicken, often prepared with a tropical or Caribbean flair. (From: frommers.com)
