Beach Hotels in Drake

Clean, homey, great location, good food, accommodating hosts.

I had a very peaceful and special stay at this property which is locally owned and operated. I felt like I was in paradise. The property is beautiful and very well maintained and cared for. There are many different tree species which attract lots of wildlife. I saw lots of wildlife without having to look for any. The cabin I stayed in was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. It had a fan and a great shower. I also enjoyed laying on the hammock and just listening to birds and monkeys while having the sound of the waves crashing in the background. The beach (Playa Las Caletas) is a 4 minute walk and is absolutely gorgeous. I swam there a couple of times and had the entire beach to myself. I also watched the most beautiful sunset from there. The lodge is also a 4 minute walk to get on the Drake Bay public trail (can go either direction) which is such a great trail along the beach. The food that was served was delicious and wholesome. The cherry on top for this place is how lovely Guillermo and Isaac and their families are. They are incredibly sweet and kind and were very welcoming. They made my stay there extra special and I can’t wait to go back!

Spectacular setting, the kindest family possible, excellent food, and attentiveness from Christian made this a special stay. A real family experience in the middle of nature with empty beaches and world class nature and hiking trails on your doorstep. And the feeling that you were with a real Costa Rica family, spending money where it should go.

Our hosts were very helpful from setting up tours to arranging transfers to and from the airport. The air conditioned bedrooms were a nice bonus.

On the outskirts of town-quiet, nice breeze. Family run establishment. Very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean, large and provided housekeeping daily. Room 1 adjacent to forest-loads of birds. Great view over Drake Bay.

If you’re looking for a piece of paradise that’s off the beaten track but a 2 minute walk from a beautiful swimming beach, this is it. We can’t rave enough about this fantastic place. The room is very clean (and cleaned daily), the fan works great, the bed is super comfy and sheets and towels are changed frequently. There were even fresh flowers in our room and welcome coconut drinks when we arrived. The patio, which looks out onto the beautiful garden, is very tranquil and we saw a sloth, an ant eater and tons of birds, including toucans and hummingbirds right from the deck. The hosts, Rafa and Esther, are super helpful and assisted with ferry transportation from Sierpe, transporting our bags from the boat to the accommodation and did our laundry for a reasonable fee. Ester is a fantastic cook and every morning we had a different, delicious breakfast (included with stay). There is an onsite soda (simple restaurant) and everything we tried was very tasty. The ceviche was fresh and delicious and we tried every type of Casado (typical meal of rice, beans, salad and your choice of protein) as well as the tacos and hamburgers and found all to be well presented and yummy. This small, family run ecolodge is about an hour walk from Drake Bay along a beautiful, well marked trail. You can arrange for tours (dolphin, Cano Island snorkelling, Corcovado) to pick you up at one of the beaches close by so you don’t have to worry about not being in town. We loved our jungle experience so much we originally booked 5 nights but stayed 11!

On site restaurant is amazing. Local chef with a lot of options -sea food galor. Staff are lovely. Made breakfast at 530 for our very early start.
