Staying in Puerto Jimenez & Drake Bay

Puerto Jimenez 

Picture
Puerto Jimenez is quite small and not really much you can do. The weather is hot and humid so ideally try to get a room with aircon. 

SLEEP
We did not book in advance, just went there and as we checked some places to sleep before we arrived and went to Cabinas Marcelina. 
We booked a 2 bed room and added an 3rd bed inside as it was cheaper than the triple room (online the triple room was 55$).
There is hot water, wifi & aircon available. I would say it is a good place to stay for the night.

FOOD & DRINKS
Restaurants, we checked Trip Adviser. Had dinner at Marisqueria Corcovado which is just next to the port. For the place I guess it was good,fish was fresh and service ok; if I compare it with other fish restaurants around Costa Rica I would say this one is average. 

We did not have lunch instead we got inside a bar had some Imperial beer (as I preferred it to the Pilzen) and we could 'order' some chicken wings from across the street. Watching Champions League and later one some Latino music on the background.
