At the hostel, every room includes a balcony with a mountain view. At GreenPoint Drake Bay rooms are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Great experience in the middle of the jungle far from... anything! The cabins are very simple so it's as authentic as it may be. Recommended are ear plugs in case it rains (very loud) or even for the nightlife (much more acceptable). Also, a car is probably necessary as it's a few Kms away from the city. Coming by car, even with a small car, is actually easy in any season.
