Wonderful property. Staff picked us up at the beach after our wet landing boat ride from Sierpe. Room #11 was perfect for an couple with an lovely patio including a hammock overlooking the river and ocean. Breakfast included with lunch and dining to purchase, all food options were very beautiful presentation, delicious and reasonably priced. Property is well kept with beautiful landscape and steps to the beach. A mile w allow into town took 30minutes or front desk can call a local taxi for $10. You can also rent a ATV. Staff was all very friendly and made sure we were prepared for our tours. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Amazing gateway resort!
My wife and I had an excellent stay. The staff was really remarkable and provided great service. The owner is friendly and accommodating . The facilities are quaint and well maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Right on the beach amidst a lush tropical setting. Loved it!

Very nice stay for the night before our dive. The room was quiet and simply decorated but comfortable. There was no food or drinks on the property so we had to go out for dinner, but we found a very nice place just down the road. The drive in from San Jose was all they said it would be and more! What an adventure. I would recommend staying here as it was very convenient for the diving with Canos Divers.

Beautiful hotel
The hotel is beautiful with a nice pool, located about 20min walking from the boat port in a secluded area. People are helpful and nice. One thing I should mention is that in Hotels.com it is mention that rooms has an AC where in fact it only had ceiling fan.

Pirate Cove, CR
Had a wonderful time at Pirate Cove. Beautiful spot near the National Park and Cano Island with two long beaches to explore and lots of diving/snorkeling and swimming. Staff were fantastic - very friendly, and service was great from the chefs to the management. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Great view!
Everyone at Pirate Cove works extremely hard to make your stay the best it can be. If you survive the river crossing (or are smart and use a shuttle service), you find yourself in a beautiful cove, with Macaws overhead and lizards all around. They have free use of some brand new kayaks which is a really nice bonus. The snorkel tour is great, too!

Employees were super nice and very helpful. Food was very generous and delicious. The beach at the hotel is often empty and quite beautiful and easy to swim for adults and children. The excursions like the Night walk were excellent. Wonderful place, we will definately come back!

Snorkeling trip was highlight for me.
Good food and service . The beach is sadly no good too rocky and sea dirty.
