Hotel vacation rentals in Bahía Drake

If you want a true off the grid experience with amazing food and views, make your way out here. Everything that we could have hoped and wished for. We felt like family when we arrived and they were so kind and wonderful throughout. The tours they offer are amazing. Would absolutely stay again if given the chance.

Words will never do this place justice. Both the lodge itself and the surroundings are stunningly beautiful. The pictures give a slight impression, but the place must be experienced to really understand the beauty of this place. The cabins are placed up on a hill with an amazing view over the jungle and the ocean. Macaws are flying over you all day. Coatis, tapirs, agutis and monkeys cross the grounds and nature trails are plentiful. We did a trek into Corcovado through la Leona gateway which was well worth it. Way less crowded than la Sirena and the scenery is incredible. I also took some yoga classes while I was there. The yoga itself was great and the cherry on the top was 8 macaws settling into a tree right in front of the yoga platform during class. We were also really pampered with delicious food and smoothies. We got there by cab which took something like 1 h 45 m each way. On the way there the driver spotted loads of animals for us. I’m so grateful for the whole experience.

Very friendly and helpful staff, room was clean but basic. Got a good, quiet couple of nights sleep either side of staying in Corcovado and they happily stored our bags the night in between. This was exactly what we needed so worked very well as a base. Easy walking distance to airport, port and town. Shared kitchen area wasn’t the cleanest but as always is the case with shared areas. Scarlet macaws and capuchins in the gardens. Would recommend as a good base in PJ.

Great place to stay in Drake Bay! Super peaceful - perfect if you want to relax and enjoy the nature around. The cabin is surrounded by trees, and we spotted toucans, iguanas, even some macaws right from the terrace, which was amazing. The host is really kind and takes great care of the guests. You’ve got everything you need here. There's even a washing machine and a spin dryer, which is super useful in this humid part of Costa Rica. If you're coming to Drake, this place is a great choice.

If you’re looking for a version of Costa Rican river living this is it. Affordable with an extremely attentive owner and staff. We especially enjoyed our kayaking and hiking trips. Thank you, Carlos!

We loved everything so much. Thanks a lot!!!

We used Vistadrakelodge to stay in Drake Bay on our way to and from an overnight trip to Corcovado Preserve. We stayed a relaxed extra day after, swinging in the hammocks on the deck overlooking the sea. It had lovely views of the sea, birds and monkeys in its gardens and trees. And much enjoyed air conditioning! Emilio was great, met us at the boat from Sierpe to take us up the short hill from the beach, even though it would have been an easy 5 minute walk. He offered to take us to his farm to walk in nature but we were too tired to take the offer. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. He can also help arrange local boat tours and arranged our return trip back to Sierpe. Easy walk to several restaurants in town and the beach.

Loved our stay at Hennar place! She was super friendly and always available to answer our questions. So was Pascal for that matter! We were grateful to get insider tips from him. Our cabana was perfect! Better than what I had expected. Big, large windows, cleaned everyday, close to everything. Loved the view of the ocean-we even saw monkeys right in front a few times. We stayed 5 nights total which was good amount of time to explore Drake bay. We did 2 guided activities: Jungle tour and snorkelling tour And 2 days exploring on our own. Our favorite was definitely exploring on our own. We simply adored walking up the river to the waterfall:) Wow! And also enjoyed the walk to playa Caletas. Drake bay is really a magical place and Hennar’s cabana is convientely located to allow you to discover it!

We came to Sabalo Lodge through a recommendation of a friend, and we enjoyed our stay. We arrived in the pouring rain but thankfully Philippe was there to pick us up and make the whole transfer and check-in process smooth. The tents are basic but very comfortable, though the wildlife surrounding the tents and the lodge is just astounding. Every morning we woke up to monkeys in the trees next to us, tons of birds, and the obligatory friendly lodge dog (plus neighbourhood dogs :)). The price included breakfast, which was lovely and freshly prepared, and overall the staff was very friendly. We did some fun walking in the jungle and went to the nearby waterfalls, as well as heading out to Cano Island for snorkelling. They will assist with all the bookings. Another amazing surprise was dinner at "la Colombiana" next door, who cooked the most delicious meal for us in the evening. The lodge is off the beaten track, and unlike Drake's Bay there is no entertainment nearby, so be prepared for early nights.

Exactly what you pay for. No more no less. Hotel room with bathroom. Great water pressure. Comfy beds and excellent ac.

The perfect place to relax and enjoy the Costa Rican sun, the Golf, and the nature surrounding Puerto Jimenez and Matapalo. We really enjoyed the free kayaks to enjoy a sunrise and sunset on the water, get accompanied by dolphins and experience bioluminescens. We did not have time to enjoy the free bikes. Everything is on point and the service is lovely.

Andre’s place is definitely stunning! We came from Drake bay, the boat drop us close by, Andre and his uncle picked us up by car. The wooden cabin hides among the palm trees and flowers, parrots jumping on top of the almond trees. In the back of the cabin we have a beautiful open meditation room. Facing the wild. We even observed Tucan during dinner time! The hotel also offers free kayak, you can paddle all the way to the ocean... a paradise waterfall is also near by. Everything here reminds us how free and beautiful life is. Last but not least, Andre and his family are wonderful. Thank you so much!

We were allowed to stay at this property for 3 nights and were very satisfied. It is very nicely decorated and smells very good in every room. We also used the small courtyard with pool several times to cool off. The employee is very friendly and helpful. My partner and I can recommend the place.

The cabin is in a small and laidback resort. There is a yoga shala, and the staff can help with booking tours and more. The location is very remote (twenty minute walk on the beach), so it's adviced to pack light. It's also a beautiful place, with a big private beach but also in the jungle. We observed all kinds of animals, including macaws and monkeys. There are no nearby restaurants, but there are meals in the resort at extra cost. All in all a great place, and we would have loved to stay longer if we could.

Great stay at this idyllic location. The apartment is clean, well-located and very lovely. Great hosting in the apartment and communication with Inka was really easy.

Lagunavista Lodge is a fascinating place with the private deck for our bungalow overlooking the natural lagoon. From there we could see crocodiles surface and then disappear - ominously...But in actuality our favorite parts of our stay were our guided trips led by Freddie kayaking on the lagoon while birding, and fishing, and searching for crocodiles after dark! Greg and Keiko are friendly and helpful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinners spent with them and the other guests. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time at this accommodation. The place has wonderful view. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay!

The stay was AMAZING. Location was AMAZING, and the people were AMAZING!! 100% RECOMMEND. And you don't have to worry about any river crossings from Puerto Jimenez
