Beautiful back porch. The laundry room was a big plus! Spacious, comfortable and clean! Ideal for a large group or family! Our host, Emilio, was very attentive!
United States of AmericaRented a house - clean and great view of forest - hummingbirds etc - Emilio was wonderful and arranged all tours for us
United States of AmericaRight in the center of Drake but very calm, on a hill with an amazing view. Lots of wild life around, even staying in the room (bungalow) was an experience on itself, with monkeys visiting the terrace and lots of birds. Emilio the owner and his family were really kind and helpful, and can help you organise any your or boat service. He owns a farm nearby which is a paradise and organise volunteering. So glad we stayed at Emilio’s vista Drake, highly recommended.
FranceEmilio was a wonderfull host. Hé really makes you feel welcome in Drake Bay. Hé Will make sure that everything is setteld for you, e.g. planning a tour or make sure you can get the boat back to Sierpe (where we parked the car). The rooms are simply furnished, but very delicate. All you expect from a ecological housing. Also the bathroom was very nice decorated and clean. Location is close to the beach. Muchos gracias!
NetherlandsGood hostel, Emilio the owner and his familly are kind, and can give you plans to do in Bahia Drake. Big confortable room and clean, good and copious breakfast. Well situated in the center. Emilio organized for us the excursion for corcovado, we had nice time there, we are satisfied.
Francewe stayed in the bungalow and it was just wonderful. the view, the interieur... in the middle of nature - pura vida. we would stay there again :)
Costa RicaThe apartment is completely new, the kitchen is wonderful and the beds are comfortable.
ArgentinaWe stayed in the villa with our 2 kids aged 4 & 6. Beds were comfy, air con was great. We only used the kitchen for breakfast but it was really useful having a large fridge, and a washing machine and drying lines. When we could bear being outside in the heat the balcony was great!
Costa RicaEmilio's warm welcome and help at ALL times (he gave us many advices, offered to clean clothes, was very flexible with the time of our breakfasts etc) The fact that Emilio spontaneously upgraded us from the double room to the Bungalow with sea view because it was unbooked and without extra charge Therefore, great value for money It was always nicely cleaned every day Great location (just next to boat departure and nice bars/restaurants)
SwitzerlandBreakfast was the best! We had to get up early due to our Corcovado tour but the owner was there to make sure it was all perfect. The room itself (triple) was basic but we did not need more then that. The owner knows a lot about the place and in my case he was very helpful and honest about the diving. The diving is overpriced with the schools in my opinion and were not being completely honest. Of course not the accommodation his fault but worth mentioning is to check with the owner if diving/snorkeling is worth paying.
