"We really enjoyed our stay here! The lodge was really clean wit amazing, open spaces and a nice pool. The washroom was clean and the rooms were really comfortable with AC and multiple beds, towels, and some blankets. Raquel was an awesome host and gave us really great recommendations nearby including restaurants and a convenience store. We weren't expecting so many critters but it was easy to keep them out of the bedrooms and didn't interfere much with our stay. It was such a good environment to...

Top Drake Bay Hotel Reviews

Drake Bay Sunset Lodge

4/10 Poor

"The driveway to the property was treacherous - I wish they had made us more aware of how challenging it was to drive up it even in a 4x4 and had other options clearly spelled out in the emails of if there was another place to park and walk up just for safety reasons. We almost didn’t make it and had tires spinning and it was a very scary and rough start to our Drakes Bay stay. Plus it is a long drive on tough roads to Drakes Bay and then to have the last 100 meters be one of the toughest parts was unfortunate. We stayed in the house and heads up the bathroom is downstairs from the sleeping rooms and outside in the patio area so it was a little nerve wracking to walk down there at night."

Casita Genesis

10/10 Excellent

"The cabina had an extra extraordinary view. We loved that the bedrooms were closed off and did have air conditioning, but that the rest of the unit was completely open The house cleaning staff did an excellent job of cleaning every morning I had laundry done, and it was very reasonably priced and done very well The unit is within walking distance to almost everything but best of all the beach is right there!"

Hotel Jinetes de Osa

6/10 Okay

"The welcome by being collected on the beach and having our luggage taken to the room was a nice touch. The room itself was clean and the view was gorgeous. We were disappointed with the general service, particularly in the hotels restaurant. We booked a table on the first evening and it wasn't ready when we arrived, with the staff seeming stressed at our arrival. We were sat down 15 minutes late and the food took over an hour to arrive, during which time we were not visited once by the staff and the tables around us were left dirty. This was despite the restaurant being quite empty close to the end of service. There wasn't many staff available on site to talk to, and it felt like quite an inconvenience to them when you had a request. This does not include the girl who was volunteering with the hotel who was very helpful."

Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"From the pool to the restaurant to the rooms, everywhere has a stunning view! You can wander the paths to the wetlands and see so many species of birds! But, I’ve also seen coati, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, a staghorn beetle, iguanas, and loads of tropical flowers and butterflies! You really doing have to go anywhere to see so much! However, I also booked some tours: diving at Caño Island, a night walk, birding - and everything was fantastic!! I’d highly recommend staying with Natural Drake Bay. From your first WhatsApp communication Mary and the team (Michael, Joseph, Jesus, ++) make you feel welcome and at home! Oh, and the food is fantastic too. Really, I didn’t want to leave!"
