We had a wonderful stay at Vista Drake. Our rooms overlooked the jungle and much wildlife. It was a short walk to the various restaurants. Emil spent time setting us up and explaining much about the area. Our room included a huge balcony, kitchen, and laundry area. The craftsmanship of the rooms and materials used is awesome. We stayed three nights. Highly recommend Vista Drake!

Emilio runs a great cabina rental service as well as night hikes and runs a farm. Third generation. The rooms are Costa Rica as it should be. best view and location in town. rooms lock tight and safe parking. we brought a camping kitchen in our travels, however the fridge and freezer works good enough to freeze rum.

Beautiful views in the best location, and the manager was extremely friendly and helpful during our 4 night stay.

First of all, if you're reading the reviews here because you're wondering whether a trip to Bahia Drake and the rest of the Osa peninsula is worth it, let me tell you that our stay there was the highlight of our 3-week long trip in CR. Make sure to stay in the area for a minimum of 3 nights. Getting there by car (4x4) was easy; we drove here from Manuel Antonio during the dry season (March 2022) and didn't have to cross any river. Now, regarding Vista Drake: this must be the accommodation with the best views in the village. In addition to offering a beautiful perspective on the ocean, you get to gaze at a variety of bird species and lizards right from the lodge's balcony. Furthermore, the owner (Emilio) is a good-humoured and very hospipitable host who makes sure that his guests get the best of their stay. He helped to organize a snorkeling tour to Caño island as well as a night walking tour.

Located off the village center so one can enjoy the veranda where you are literally inside a tropical forest, with all kinds of birds coming to visit you! The house is designed beautifully, all wood panels, wooden stools and a table. A very big room, fully equipped kitchen, a great washing machine - everything one can hope for!

Great place to enjoy what Drake Bay has to offer with beautiful view. Bed was comfortable, we spent good amount of time in the hammocks outside enjoying the view and the jungle around with birds flying around and iguanas passing by. Yes there are few steps to climb but we did not mind. Owners are wonderful people, helped us arrange tour of Corcovado park and an island snorkeling and a late check out. Mind that both tours start with an hour boat ride. We ate breakfast at the lodge every morning. Everything is close by - restaurants, couple of supermarkets, fruit store all within quick walk and you have small fridge in the room if you need to store something.

The bungalow was simple, rustic, clean and very comfortable. The lodge is very conveniently located midway between the beach and the Main Street in ‘town’. Came with a private deck with chairs and a hammock to lay in and savor the views and the sounds of the waves and animals around. The Lodge had everything I wanted and needed. The family that runs the place are original inhabitants who have been there since the 1920’s. Suffice it to say, they are incredibly knowledgeable about the area and animals and could not have been more friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.

Fantastic location with sea view to explore the beautiful area. Amelio was wonderful at helping organise trips. The bird watching trip with Neyer was incredible.

wonderful and quiet location, great support to book activities

Great view, one of the best in town. Close to road, so traffic noise early morning. Breakfast needs more variety and choices.
